Did something similar years ago when I went to pickup a new V-STAR 1100. Had a young teenager from the delear showing me all the controls on the new bike. I told him I didn't need any instructios as I had been rideing bikes longer then he had been alive. Went to start the bike and nothing when I hit the start switch. Tried numerous times and then told the kid something was wrong with the bike. He reached over and turned the kill switch and hit the starter and the bike started right up as advertised. Talke about feeling stupid.
