Latest update. Having eventually got the bike to start this morning it cut out then restarted whilst taking the bike to the dealers. This wouldn't have been too bad except that I was going around a corner at the time. End result was that it highsided me out of the seat and with my feet off the pegs in true superman style I crossed the on coming lane of traffic. Fortunately lady in Mondeo was quick enough to stop and I managed to gain control and stop after mounting the kerb.

Surfice to say I wasn't that impressed!

Amusingly (it is now) the RAC (or Yamaha Assist) insisted that they would not take the bike straight to Fowlers but instead they would attempt to fix the issue. The patrol man who arrived was soon under no illusion that the he was taking the bike straight to Fowlers. Having taken me back to the house I followed on my DR.

Fowlers apparently have no record of my bike, nor the two services they have performed, nor the fact that they sold it to me less than eight months ago. As if on que the Yamaha sales person walked past and cheerfully asked how the bike was going. Quite possibly the biggest mistake he's ever made. :-)

Having rebooked the bike for Fri, the icing on the cake was the technician who on presenting me with the sign in form stated "I couldn't check it in properly because it doesn't start".

And breathe...
