    I pulled apart the ignition switch and had a good look. There was quite a bit of crab built up in there so I cleaned it out and reassembled it and still no tail lights. I'll have a look at the right hand control tonight and if I still can't get it working I'll rewire the tail lights and the speedo lights.

    I picked up some gear from jaycar and wired the tail lights through a relay for now as I still can figure out why they aren't working but at least now they turn on when the bike is on.

    Now my blinkers aren't working properly:headbang:

    The ones on the front are cheap **** LEDs so I'll replace them and see how they go.

    Not quite sure what the problem is now. Left indicator works but the dash light doesn't turn on. Right indicator doesn't work and dash light turns on and doesn't flash.

    Don't think so. The LEDs are hardly visible anyway so I'll just replace them with standard ones.
