Ok my electrics seem to be knackered and I was hoping someone else has had something similar before. The ignition turns on fine with the lights on the dash coming on but when I try to start the bike or turn the lights on or press the horn, brakes everything dies. checked voltages at the fuses and it seems that as soon as i turn anything on the voltage drops from 13v down to pretty much nothing. I'm thinking its something to do with the earth side as its the only thing that i can see is common to all. Also if i diconnect the brake lights and operate the brake lever the voltage doesn't drop.

Looks like i'll be stripping more of the bike down to get to all the electrical connections tomorrow.
