A word of warning, I set bout changing the plugs on my XX today haveing completed said task I went to start the bike, nothing no juice to the clocks lights or starter but the multi meter showed plenty of life in the battery.
Somehow after wiggling the bars left and right i could see power was getting to the dash one way and not the other after a look at the loom that goes to the ignition switch i could see one wire that was cracked.
I then set about getting the switch out, what a twat that was!!! Anyway after stripping back the wires one was broken completely ( and had been i think for sometime looking at the corrosion on the ends) and one was just hanging on by a couple of strands.
So i then set about soldering in some new wire, heat shrink and then wrapped the whole lot up in tape.
Please have a look at your wiring there is distinct almost 90 deg kink where the wire is held on with a cable tie that's where my failure occurred.
I wouldn't like to think what would have happened had it failed whilst riding or parked up somewhere miles from home!
