    Sounds like a wire break. You may have to remove the sleeve from the loom to track it down.
    You should feel it as a limp spot on one of the wires.
    Just take your time and examine the individual wires, you should find it

    Could be something to do with the wiring to the ignition switch? With the engine running try tugging on the wiring to the ignition switch without moving the bars to see if this also kills it.

    Yes I had a similar problem that turned out to be an ignition switch wire that had broke right on the switch itself.

    Thanks.
    I had to take it to someone to fix. They found the faulty wire and rewired it. Expensive but we’re on the road again
    Cheers

    @Eric27 Glad you got it sorted mate. Yes they do get a bit expensive when things go wrong. But it is worth it for the smile it puts on your face. Do enjoy and get as many miles as you can. Be nice to see the beauty if you hit the upload a file button and show it of. Also keep us all informed about how it goes and makes you feel.
