Help - she does not start anymore (stranded..)

[Alexander Finger]

The clock _is_ on the ignition circuit (I just had a look in the
manual). So it looks to me as if rather the ignition switch is the
root cause. Jump starting won't do anything as there is a complete
blackout. If the battery was low, the clock would still run - but it
does not. Also, I remember "low battery" to produce a CRACRACRACRAC
rather than a dry "CLACK". Hey.
I will go to Fribourg and try the "wiggling" of the key. Thinking
about it I just turned it, but did not try to exercise any pressure on
it. Hm.
There's a Kawasaki dealer close by..if nothing works I'll ask them to
fetch her. Sniff.
I'll keep you posted ;)
