Update

Ok, so yesterday my clutch cable snapped off. Called road service who said they'd pick me and my bike up the next day.

Today 07:00 they picked me up and drove me a few hours away to a shop that had a nice owner to come out on a Sunday to help with the clutch cable. That was fixed in a matter of minutes.

Ready for my 5 hour drive back home from Sweden, the bike wouldn't start again!

Red key LED in the dash flashes and the fuel pump doesn't start when turning the key. The owner called all his mechanics and no one had any ideas apart from using the red key... which was back home in Norway.

After turning the ignition off a few hundred times (not exaggerating) the red LED didn't flash and the fuel pump started up! WOHOO! Pressed the starter - not enough juice left and the dash went black. Back to square one.

Put on the charger for a while and then turned the ignition on/off a few hundre times more (not exaggerating) and *finally* it started and I could drive back home.

What gives?? Is it the key itself or something with the ignition??
