I reckon a lot of people forget about this part of Bird.......@tu*

May I remind you Quiney that the Help Section is the only place where we do NOT take the piss until at least a couple of correct answers are given. You've been a big help! NOT.
Thanks, Howard. @tu*
I think that is an earth, Quiney and not a live. Thanks for your suggestion though. :-0)
Batttery in your satnav, Quiney?
12v + goes from fuse to bulb and then through the micro switch to earth. Your satnav will get power to charge the internal battery until you brake. When you brake your external satnav power will effectively be shorted out. The battery in your satnav keeps everything going so you don't notice. It would probably do for a mini voltmeter providing you don't mind the reading going to 0v very time you brake. 8rfl@

Eyes can't quick scan diagrams like they used to but I think Quiney is correct?
See my post#9. Carler. :-0)
Again this is an earth, DEG5Y.
It would provide power until you press the kill switch which is probably never. Personally I would be reluctant to touch such a potentially vital safety feature.

Fusebox.
I take a feed from the fan fuse to trigger a relay in my accessory fusebox

Probably will only get used when the bike is on its side (Inj should stop anyway due to the tilt switch) and the bikes probably fooked then anyway!
Your only putting a volt meter in so the best place would be straight after the ignition switch, that way you will be reading a non corrupted voltage. Any bad joint after this point will drop the voltage in the circuit you have connected it into.
