As a general rule with Suzukis, if it's an Orange wire or an Orange wire with a stripe - that is switched power.



Looking at the colour schematic, there's a red wire going to fuse 5, so that should have 12V power all the time.



There shouldn't be 12V on the other fuses until the ignition is on (ie opposite to what you have).



1) with the ignition off, do you have 12V on the red wire at the ignition switch?

2) with the ignition off, do you have 0V on the orange wire at the ignition switch?

3) with the ignition on, do you have 12V on the orange wire at the ignition switch?



When you measure your voltages are you putting the negative probe on the battery negative terminal or on the bike chassis? (they should read the same voltage).



If you have a short it will direct battery current to ground which would drop your 12V meter reading to 0V but the battery can produce over 100 Amps when shorted so it would melt any wire that wasn't fuse protected - you would smell it and see smoke until burnt through.
