So, it turns out you don't get a hard start until you get one.
I thought my bike was immune having never had a problem.
And then, leaving home for work, it hit. I rolled to the bottom of the driveway, like usual, I turned the key, like usual, I hit the starter, like usual, I cracked the throttle, like usual. The only thing that wasn't as usual was the cranking with no kick.
I tried and tried and nothing. Then I tried to clutch it, and nothing.
I pushed the bike back up the hil, into the garage and left in the car. Luckily.
So after leaving it a day I tried it, WOT, nothing. I left it a day and tried again, nothing.
The only thing that worked was to take of the side cover, pull the EFI fuse and crank it clear. Then replace and it started in two seconds.
It wouldn't have been achievable away from home due to tooling for the crash bars, so I'll need to rethink this problem.
Many many happy starts and one which would have seen me stranded and I've got to rethink my planning.
