Missing alarm check - 496 HO
 
I reinstalled the battery on my single 496 Fever 27, after a long winter, hoping to go for a ride tomorrow.
But when I turned on the key, I just got a very short beep instead of the usual alarm check, which used to sound for a couple of seconds, and was much more audible than this one.
Any idea on the reason?

Btw, while driving home, an idea popped to my mind: the kill switch was open when I turned the key.
Normally, I have the cord connected and the kill switch closed, so I don't know if that makes any difference.
Can that be the reason for the missing alarm?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Jason, yep, today I went for a ride and indeed everything was back to normal with the kill switch closed.
Any chance of a holiday around here this summer? :drink:
