Electrical Problem with T309 SP

Went to start the T309 Speed Triple today, and nothing happened. Literally...nothing. Like as if the Engine Kill Switch wasn't switched on (which it was). All the fuses are ok. After work, I'll bridge the clutch switch to see if that's it, but are there any other likely causes for this type of fault?
Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.
LS

Side stand switch can stick get some WD40 up it, the kill switch itself can get a bit intermittent due to dirt on the contacts...

Both quick and easy to eliminate ;-)

Cheers

It was the clutch switch!! Pulled the switch off and cleaned up the contacts and away it went, no problems.
Don't you love it when its something simple?

Thanks for the help MotT3.
