    Repair starter button F650 Dakar

    It’s a 20 year old bike. These things happen [emoji1787] But now I need to repair the starter button - or rather the electrics behind the button.

    [emoji2955] But that can happen. Plants can be old; get some funny virus or disease; or just decide they’ve had enough [emoji1787] Break a piece off, 4-5 pieces long, and plant it. It will 95% likely grow!
