    Went to turn on the ignition yesterday and no fuel pump sound, No dash light up an not starting. Completely dead.

    Ran and started like a dream all weekend.

    It's only done1800 miles and 3 months old.

    Any ideas before contacting the dealer?

    This is what I've put together for my own use to keep me pointed in the right direction. This is based on 'no clicking sound.'

    1) If the Starter Relay doesn’t click, or the Starter Motor does not turn when the STARTER SWITCH is pressed:

    a. Check to ensure that the Battery Charge is >12.6 volts and that it has the appropriate Amperage for your model. A fully charged battery will be between 12.8 volts and 13.0 volts.

    b. In the following order, ‘cycle’ these components through their range of motion several times and then try to start the motorcycle after cycling each component.

    i. IGNITION SWITCH to help ensure the contacts are making a circuit and it is in the On Position,

    ii. ‘KILL’ SWITCH to help ensure the contacts are making a circuit and it is in the Run Position,

    iii. SIDE STAND to help ensure the switch is operating and the SIDE STAND is Up,

    iv. Gear Selector to ensure it is in Neutral, and

    v. Clutch Lever to ensure the switch is operating and the CLUTCH LEVER is pulled-in while trying to start.

    c. If your motorcycle is fitted with an Alarm System, it may be defective. Install the ALARM BLANKING PLUG and attempt to start the motorcycle.

    d. If the motorcycle starts after cycling one of these components, then that component is suspect and should be thoroughly checked.

    Press the triumph button on the key pad, if it flashes red it means the key is off.... if it's green the bike should work.

    Not a good advert for Triumph especially if the bike is only three monts old. I usually spray my leads with a silicon spray.
    But gald you got sorted.
    Regards

    I had a mark one Street and a couple of times it refused to start for no apparent reason - just turned it off, swore a few times and it started fine.
