Thanks for that julman99, will give it a clean over the weekend with a toothbrush/contact cleaner then grease her up.

Just before we went out for dinner earlier I tried the 5 second WOT/start switch on position reset, which didn't work. Then I tried the WOT three times with ignition on and then fired up her up...much to my surprise it kept running. Tried it again after returning home and the same thing happened. This is really odd problem!

Hello guys, I have 2017 AT and the bike doesn`t want to start at all. The other day I did around 130km without problems. When I came come I rinsed the bike with water but only bottom part. I didn`t spray water onto electrical stuff. Then, out of curiosity, I opened the ON/OFF switch, just to see in what condition it is. I didn`t open it completely, just the two screws which hold the housing together. Since then the bike is not starting... I checked the left spark plug, working, fuel pump is also making noise... Battery on the video is already quite empty because of trying to start it. Any ideas?

Is this the original battery? My AT is extremely picky about having enough voltage to start. I'd replace it if it's original.

Just tried with car battery and no success... My bike has been painted and some of the paint is also in the petrol tank. Is it possible that this paint "melted" and clogged the fuel filter? Bike was standing around one month with fuel in the tank and then I went for quite long ride. At home I started it couple more times without problem and now nothing...

Hmm, maybe back track on the kill switch again? Also consider inspecting the side stand kill switch too.

Africa is running again! I checked the fuel flow out of the fuel pump and it was quite weak. Then I took the fuel pump unit apart and there was no paint particles or other debris. I assembeled it back together and voila, it started. Now I`m worried because I don`t know why exatcly the fuel flow was weak... Any ideas?

Pinched fuel line?

Pinched fuel line?

It wasn't pinched, when I tried the flow the tube was sticking straight out of the tank, still no idea why

Thanks all for start kill switch tracking advice. Had the problem and was managing it by toggling the switch as advised on this forum if it failed to start. Contacted Blade Honda UK who contacted Honda and they've just replaced my second hand 2017 AT DCT kill switch unit FOC. Can't say better than that. Well done Blade, well done Honda. Hopefully sorted.
