OK, here's the story, cam to the bike tonight cos I fancied a quick blast, wouldn't start, got a clicking from the starter almost like it wants to try and turn the engine over and then thinks it's had enough and then it refused to turn over at all. It's not the battery, the bike sits on a maximiser when I'm not using it so that is OK. Called the dealer and it's booked in tomorrow, they are coming over in the van to pick it up in the afternoon (it's under warranty still). just been out to take the top box off so it can go in, thought I'd give it another go. ignition on, clocks to the sweep thing, engine light goes off, fuel pump does it's thing, then there was all I can describe as a pop from somewhere near the engine (can't be more specific than that, sorry), hit the starter and the damn thing fires up straight away, absolutely no problem. OK now I'm confused. It's still going in tomorrow (warranty so sod that) as I need the bike to be reliable (use it every day - yeah, I know what you're all gonna say, if you want reliability why buy a Buell LOL). Anyone got any ideas, and, if it starts in the morning, would I be OK to ride it to the dealers (about 7 miles) without the damn thing blowing up on me
