Have you tried the fuel tap?
Sometimes minewould'nt start especially as its cold now. I'd have to start it by the book. eg fuel tap to prime and full choke..

Failing that a good dose of easy start..Nearly fired an XJ650 with dodgey cam followers up likethat...not ideal btw.

If it don't start after that you should'nt have had the last service done by Carnells. (which lets face it would be the only reason a bandit would seize to be reliable innit?)

1) Is the kill switch in the right place ?

2)Have you checked the "earth" leads ?

3)Do you have this months mag ? Yes,then read it !!!

Just a thought on different lines, as you were clearing out garage, could the tank breather be blocked by dust/crap from garage?
