B-King just died...!!

My father in law who has a Triumph Rocket was telling me a few weeks ago never to turn your bike off with the red button, always the ignition switch. First time I had ever been told this, although I have always used the key. He said that the Rocket did the same thing as described here, turned off, started and then completely dead. Disconnected the battery and right again. Can't for the life of me see why, but this is two episodes in a few weeks so a bit strange.

Glad to see you're still in one piece Dave. Good to see the SubRx entry again. We've missed you too mate.

Hi,

I had a rocket III and I was told about that as not to use it at all. But that is only on the Rocket not a Hayabusa and it was only three times you could do it and then it has to be re set.

Out for a ride, pulled up, neutral, turned the bike off (via le red switch) for about 1 minute (left the key in, turned to on)... Started it back up and walked it backing out of the drive way, in neutral and BOOM... whole bike shut down... no lights, no motor, nothing... key out, back in, nothing, not even the flashing key security light is blinking... Ummm... Any ideas?? Battery?

Have a good look at your earth from bike to battery
