Hi Guys

I have a 2014 800 GS.
Got on the bike this morning to go to work, pressed the starter and it started, but after about a second it died again and then would not start.
It was in neutral, and sidestand up. I also tried with the clutch pulled in.

The pump sounds like it is priming ok and the tank is full. it cranks, but won't start. I did not want to crank it too much, it will just drain the battery.

Apart from the battery, what else can I check?
I commute a very short distance, and last used the bike two days ago and it worked fine.

Thanks

Hi Cobus,

I've gave my input on "the other" forum.

I hope that you find the problem yes
