Thats because i have no idea what the problem was...

The accident happened a few days after i started to notice the problem...

After riding for over an hour i stopped for some lunch, parked my bike out front and went inside to eat. When i returned about 30 minutes later my bike wouldn't turn over.... This was...

So i took it in for service and they said everything was fine. They adjusted the "Idle speed" which i had fiddled with myself prior...so maybe i just did it wrong : \
