Only thing I did was fit the fairing and........................................ remove teh tilt sensor. So after charging up my original battery, remove the lithium one. checking the kill switch 3 times, most of the wiring, all the fuses 3 times. looking over the bike. Muff suggested that I ensure the Tilt sensor is fitted correctly Ahhh yes. 30 seconds later it started AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOB
