- i'd say you either (a) had the kill switch on "off" and bumped it to "on" and
- then it started. or (b) flakey starter switch. or (c) bike wasn't really
- in neutral. if it was kinda cold, the tranny may not have gone completely
- into neutral due to thicker oil. did you see a neutral light? even if you
- did, the bike may still have not started because it thought it was in gear.
- (my FZR does this. you shift into neutral, neutral light comes on, you hit
- starter, nothing. shift out of neutral, then back into neutral, starts fine.)
