Noggy, have not been on here with almost a month, did not realise you were having nuisance issue.

Since it turns over it really rules out the clutch,side stand and kill switches.

Sounds like a mild corrosion issue, I would lift the tank and check the crank sensor connections.

You do not need to be an electrical genius to disconnect a plug and spray it with contact cleaner or WD40 and put it back together again.

Follow this procedure, take connector apart  check it, spray it put it back together, take it apart again and put it back together again, then and only then move on to the next connector. This fixes 75% of electrical faults I have come across on bikes.
Time consuming, slow and tedious, but often well worth the trouble.

The service manual is good as it shows where all the items are.

Good to have you back Unfazed 8) .....& i've seen you diagnose a fair few electrical demons on here so i'll go with that........ill try the diagnostics on the dash first and see what they come up with (if anything) & then ill attack the connectors......i was in a rush to get everything back together yesterday and wanted to try the new battery so i just sprayed ACF50 on everything but when i get more time i'll systematically open up each connector......it has been said previously so i really need to take the time to do it......plus if any others are close to becoming troublesome i might just nip them in the bud before they start.


I am confident.


Cheers!
