    check the ignition switch connections in the head light...it also uses the green and b/w wire to earth out the cdi when key is switch off..check the continuity of the b/w wire from the ignition switch and ground, should have continuity when key is off and none when key is on....also check the black/white wire hasnt shorted anywhere.....

    Thanks to all for the replies. I'll be back in the shed this weekend for more diagnostics!

    I have some reasonable rear shocks, a coil and a couple of bits that you can have for the price of postage from VIC to SA and a 6 pack if you're interested. Just want them out of the shed now.

    I have seen this mentioned a few times now, i think i might give it a shot!

    In other news, i rode it to work this morning.....20kms later i lost all electrics. Turned it off at work, never to be started again. Maybe that chinese regulator has fried my battery/everything :( the fun continues!

    Update: Have now done 550kms, changed the oil again tonight but she still sounds like a truck, cams may be damaged. I am yet to do a compression test.
