Today i tried to start my bike but it never really fired up. Moved the bike around, shook it a bit, held it upright, stand down/up, kill switch on/off, tried again, still no go. Rolled it down a hill and put it in gear, no luck.
I noticed the dash was flashing red. Is it supposed to do that when you have the key in and ignition on?

A while later I rolled it down a hill and put her in gear and voila! It runs!

Any ideas what's going on? Is this something I can expect to happen more?

Edit: if someone has a clever idea on how to fix a clutch cable that has broken off right next to the ball in the lever I am all ears
