Perfect timing(sarcastic)
stopped by UTSC, and just my luck, getting ready to leave and the blasted bike won't start.
Frigg!!
now stuck here waiting for a tow and hoping it's just a random boo moment and won't happen again. But will service it to be on the safe side.

dead battery? jump it? or bump it?

 

[Twon]

TThink it just needs a bump. (If that means jump start)

 

[Kuro]

nope, jump start would be with jumper cables attached to another battery.
bump starting it would be to roll the bike (probably better if someone is pushing it) ... ignition set to ON. first gear. get a little bit of speed, release clutch and as it starts to turn over, add gas, drop clutch and bike should start, ride away.

I'd suggest being in 2nd gear, but that's just me.

Damn, I don't know.
Key in ignition. Display lights up.
Start button has no response however.
It's a brand new ninja 250. So shouldn't be a battery problem. Unless leaving key in and on the off position drains power.

+1.

Kill switch on the handle bar - we've all done it.

this is the off position and your bike will not start.

Or one of your interlocks is fubar ( side stand usually not up fully )

Ah, I've always hated bumping my bike as it was always hard to successfully do on the first try. This is probably why.

I was about to suggest kill switch next. MacDoc beat me to it.

Check fuse box? Happened once to me where I just took out and put back in the fuse spades (those tiny chips) even though none of them blew.
