I'm putting myself up for numpty of the millennium award. The sidestand was down which prevents starting.
Don't know how I could have overlooked that. It was on the centre stand but the sidestand was also down. I have another bike which can be started with the sidestand down and lately I've been using that a lot more than the DX so perhaps I'd gotten used to not thinking about the sidestand. But of course I ought to have realised because I've owned it for nine months now and frequently used the sidestand.
I got so angry with the thing that I was on the verge of wanting to get rid of it in disgust believing it was now unreliable and could still let me down anytime, anywhere if it was a faulty app problem. What a dickhead! Today I was going to call the Yam recovery service to take it back to my dealer and the only consolation is that I discovered what was "wrong" before doing so.
Thanks to
Stephen on the forum who tried out his DX which started and pointed out to me about the sidestand.
So no electronic problem after all. I hope
8500rpm gets his sorted asap and that he hasn't made the same ridiculously elementary mistake as me.
The app is still not working though the message has altered to "Error, username or password incorrect." But it looks like pure coincidence that it went down at the same time. I'll contact Vodafone later, if I can get through, and try and sort it.
Apologies if I've scared any other DX owners with my idiotic experience.
