Just charged the battery and pugged it in!!!! Everything seems to work ok except
The high beam constant. It works on the pass button.
The clock illumination I think. It's a little sunny so can't see it clear enough.
Any ideas?
If you recall I have the twin female blue on the right side with no connections and a single bullet on the right side not connected!

Thanks for that, I have connected the same and hey presto it works. However I do not have a blue and white into the female double.
I only have 1 cable in the female I can't see another blue and white cable.
Everything now works except the lights to illuminate the clocks!!

Does the rear light work, as I assume that one wire coming out of the loom is supply and the other bl/w is the return to the loom for the rear light and the clocks.
So fuse will supply power via the ble wire to the r/h switch, if the light switch is on it will supply current back to the double conector which will supply one to back light/clocks and the 2nd will supply the l/h switch to decide high or low.

Ok yes the rear light works. I've run through all most things now and find the clock lights not illuminated and the horn. When I initially pressed the horn I thought I heard a click and now nothing.

Ok I just checked the horn circuit and got 12v from the wire loom and when I ground the horn onto the engine it buzzed.
Connect the black lead from the l/h control and pressed the horn button and nothing!
Must be an earth problem.
Any ideas.

make sure there is no paint / powder coating where the handlebar clamps to the top yoke . also clean paint from under the 27mm nut on the top yoke

Ok I'll do that.

So I still have a problem with the clock illumination. No light and I noticed something strange this morning. There are 3 positions on the ignition switch.
Off to the left
On in the middle
And when I turn to the far right the tail light comes on when all lights are off ?

Ill have a look. There is a spare way on the double blue female connector from the R/H switch.
There is a connector that i believe we established was for the turn signal alarm.
I don't recall seeing a blue wire hanging out of the loom.

I guess the clock lights are on a separate circuit. the bulbs should be OK i changed them all.

All other idiot lights Ignition, High Beam, Turn Left and Right, Oil are all working.
