Dude was out in the pub when he wrote it  :lol :lol

What he said make s sense but since you have not seen an unmolested wiring system it would be confusing.  :eek
Yes that box is the starter cut out relay, looks like the wire was too short to rejoin and they ran a new one back to the Start button connector block in the box under the tank. What you need to do is unravel the tape around the loom under the seat more to find another cut wire which will be the side stand switch wire.

Er...not sure wot u mean...but if u look at my pics in posts 83 and 84 u will see that turning ignition on/off changes my six loose wires from 2 earths and one live to two lives and one earth, regardless of whether sidestand is up or down

I appreciate all ur help on this issue....If u want to pack it in no probs....!!! 8)

I was a bit cryptic,  :eek because the continuity didn't change you have not found the side stand wire.
Just unravel the tape around the loom under the seat part and spread out the wires a bit more back and front and see if you can find a cut wire or wires spliced

Hi...thanks again but I,m going to call it a day on this...I managed without the sidestand switch up till now...!
I don't want to cut into the loom any further...it's difficult to get at. A bit frustrating having these little niggles not sorted :o

BUT ANYWAY...my PASS switch isn't working...do u think I shud crack open the handlebar cluster...or just leave well alone....??

Ok, no problem, if you are ever over this direction we can sort it  :lol :lol
Was it working and stopped suddenly or has it ever worked?
If it stopped suddenly it is most likely corrosion within the switch.
Easy enough to remove and take apart and clean the contacts, but be aware there are some very small screws, little springs and contacts in there which can fall out and roll/fly to places you never knew existed. :lol Choke cable can be a bit fiddly to put back.

I got a good laugh out of that :rollin Someone did a proper hack job on that loom! If you want everything back to original you could always take the cowards way out and buy a used loom off ebay. It would be plug and play as long as all the factory connectors are intact, no head scratching required. They're fairly cheap too. Just make sure it's the correct loom

Should I take that previous post down since it describes how to bypass the alarm? :lol
