That was the plan ... it was a case of doing more investigation to find out what was still stopping it from running which turned out to be a) a flat battery b) the TSSM forgetting the fob and c) the process of getting re-associated.
I'd actually written all this up to share on another site and thought it may have been useful to other newbs and those as mechanically illiterate as me
Also thought I could just post a link to the blog that detailed the whole process and not have to re-type it all in again .. but couldn't ...so whilst I was dicking around trying to fix the OP I guess you clicked on it ...
Like I said - I'm still learning - so apologies if it wasn't 100% clear to start with

Glad you got her sorted out, mate. Hopefully in time for an Oz Day spin. Also being mechanically dangerous, I found the videos hilarious. Ignore the dudes criticizing your trial and error, as they're also the ones blathering about everyone needing to learn their bikes. My baby-Mumma probably had the better idea, though, buying me a bike-mechanics course at the local tech college as a XMas present. Learn a bit to make trial and error less a trial?!
PS: it's -13 in Toronto, Canada, so my hog is sleeping (was just home in Oz for vacation; miss the sun immediately).

31 in Perth for Oz day ...got burnt doing chores around house...
Yeah always been too scared to touch bikes but have been giving ita go and learning that I can actually do some basic mechanical ****....
Update to this story... When I changed the bike battery (drama in itself as it is located in the pointy end of the frame in front of the airbox) I knocked off an o-ring on the crankcase breather.....of couse I didnt realise that until after I **** my pants looking at my engine covered in oil !!!
Live and learn....
