A year ago I highlighted a couple of errors I’d made and how they were really simple things…‘rookie’ errors I said at the time, and the consequences had been a little dramatic.

I’ve done it again, but this time there was no serious penalty except I’ve made myself look really foolish.

I won’t bore everyone with the circumstances, but the lesson is a good one and worth reiterating, especially as adventure bikes are lunging further and further into a heavy reliance on electronics.

If a motor has fuel, spark and compression, it will fire.
