not kill switch tried that
light works didnt try horn

[nathanhu]

can you hear the starter solinoid(sp) clicking

[nathanhu]

if you dont hear the solinoid clicking then take off the right hand fairing panel and look at the battery .....on the right hand side is the starter solinoid. behind it is a small push in conector (the switching current from the starter switch ) check that it is fully pushed in

thanks for the replies
turns out it was the starter solenoid - loose connection thanks nathanhu
