Hahaha....you're not the first and you won't be the last Sccar.
I often get everything set to start, including reading my safety card, of course, press the start button, and.......nothing..... bugger....panic......is the battery flat? ........nope, I have just, once again, brushed the kill switch for some reason.......maybe adjusting a mirror?.......I know, I know.....include turning the kill switch off when I shut down, and this problem wouldn't happen because flipping it on would be part of the start routine......maybe one day I'll get into that habit

Still getting used to my new F3 toy. Just reached 'break-in' and first inspection mileage. Can't say that I have confused the horn with the start button yet, but confess that I have managed to execute a few left and right turns via the horn signal. I'm more likely though to have tried turning the F3 into an SE8- I like upshifting from 2nd to horn and then into 3rd; occasionally, I have even tried it from 4th to horn to 5th. Hasn't yet seemed to piss off the Nanny, though it does confuse the rev situation somewhat. I'm still searching to find the most 'seamless' rev number when inserting the additional horn gears; hard to sense it by ear because of the added sound effects from the horn. Last time I went from 2nd to horn to 3rd in town, I did get a nice wave from a little old lady, although I somewhat upset her dog. He probably thought I was trying a pick-up, even though she was quite friendly. Never happens while downshifting, what with those buttons being on opposite sides of the handle bar.

That's the one with the "adjustable horn button",; that moves around on it's own!

That's exactly what I was thinking, that button moves around......
