Hi,
This is a question which has probably been asked and answered many times before - but I am a relative newbie and would like some assistance.
Unfortunately, because of work, family and travel commitments, I was unable to ride my 2016 Triumph Scrambler in December, meaning it was parked up, covered in its usual parking spot outside in London. When I came to try and start her up yesterday, the electrics came on and the lights looked as bright as normal, but the bike didn't start when I pressed the ignition. There is fuel in the tank, the kill switch is in the correct position and it has not been that cold in London (5-9 degrees). When the ignition is pressed, there is an audible click (of the spark plug?) but nothing else...
I've never had a problem with the bike before, and it was recently serviced.
What could this issue be and what is the solution.
My back-up option is to contact a local mechanic to come and take a look (as I can't go to them), so finding out what the problem is first may be wise!
Thanks
Regards,
John
