Recent HPI (2015) so defo not nicked. Also, I took the loom out and put it through a thorough inspection. No chaffing and all metered out end to end. Didn't look at handlebar cables though, except to clutch switch. Will have a close look down there. Thanks for your comments !
Saw the same thing happen on an old RI.
Since you are confident it was not stolen recovered, the only thing I could suggest is to check the loom where it rubs the frame coming out by the frame cross member under the tank and going into the plastic shroud which covers the connector blocks. Check from the connector block up to the left handle bar and the ignition switch.Check the cable from the ignition at the base of the ignition switch as there is a cable tie there which is often pulled tight enough to damage the wires.
There is a circuit from the clutch switch via the ignition switch to the alarm (removed years ago!) then on to the ignitor. If that is not earthed via the ignition switch the igniter might try to earth through aforementioned diodes and neut or stand switch. Ignition switch was not in a good state but lots of WD and wiggling made it better. Any idea how much current the ignitor ECU takes ?
No job is so urgent it can't wait until the last minute.
No problem is so great you can't run away from it.
