Do you know someone who can come around and introduce you to your bike and some of it’s important characteristics ?Just reading between the lines a bit, some basic techniques might need refreshing.
Can’t think of a tactful way to bring it up with the dealer without sounding critical. Things happen. No harm done. Just tried to start the bike again with the same result. Bike instruments on, in neutral. Pressed the start button and nothing. Pressed the kill switch first then the start button and starts right up.
Sorry to get people baffled at my troubles with starting the bike. Turned out I was having the kill switch in the off position every time I used it without realizing it. That explains why I had to press the kill switch again before the starter button to start the engine. Again, this is different in my Vespa on which the kill switch is not a latching button. Agree with Huzo. Don’t bother with the kill switch!!
Thanks for the link to the owners manual. Nice to be able to access it from the phone. Would be very nice to have someone show me all the tips and tricks. 20yr gap between motorcycle ownership is taking a little time to relearn. 😂 On my 2021 Vespa GTS300 having the side stand down kills the engine. That’s not true with the V85tt. Anyways will take a few minutes to figure it all out and a little time to remember it.
I'm sure the mechanic is looking for his ratchet & socket. Return it to him and ask him to show you all about the bike, say after he get's off work.
I was surprised to read that your v85 doesn't have the kickstand cut off switch. Anytime my bike is in gear and the kickstand is down the motor is shut off and the ignition is interrupted can't even start it. Are you saying your v85 is different?
It won't start in gear with the kickstand down. The kill button is in a poor location.
On a couple of my bikes if you hold the clutch in you can start it with a kickstand down and in gear, but newer bikes seem to prevent that...
