Strange that Kawasaki do two different colours for earth?
Anyway, whilst I was running through the checks I noticed a spare yellow/black & black/yellow cables near the battery box (I thought they were spare as have come across this on other bikes), so I connected the yellow/black to ground & nothing, I then connected the black/yellow to ground & what do you know, everything came to life.....even the indicators
I really would like to thank you guys for taking the time & getting me looking at things from a different perspective, I really appreciate it. From the start I thought it must be an earth fault but everything I looked at seemed to be ok so couldn't figure it out......
thanks again
Roy
