No darrsi, i've never jet washed it, don't know about previous owners though.
I thought about changing the ignition just in case I didn't manage to fix the wires, it's more of a backup plan. And if i change the ignition, i would have to change the fuel tank lock and the seat lock too, too keep using just one key. (i found the 3 of them for about 50€ on ebay). But yeah, that's just a backup plan if all else fails.
I'd like to literally replace that wire with another instead of fixing just the tip of it. That's because I can't be sure the rest of the wire isn't as bad as the tip of it, all i know is that it's stiff, and i guess it shouldn't be.
And thank you, it's the 2nd Fazer i have
It's such a versatile bike
So, by cleaning all connectors I would lower their resistance and prevend them from overheating, is that it?
You're right, I was thinking of the signal fuse, not the ignition one. So I guess you've debunked my theory ahah, nothing to do with fuses
Here's how the fuse box was (25A fuse on 10A signal)

Replacing all those switches will be very expensive and time consuming.

I guess if the connector spades are badly corroded it could cause a high resistance and result in what you see.
It's possible that the previous owner had fuses blowing because of this so just chucked in a big fuse to get around it.
After repairing this problem I would suggest checking all the other connectors and cleaning with Duck oil (not wd40) or acf 50 to prevent any future problems.
