Sounds like you have lost the earth to the side stand switch (UP). Broken wire, or switch.
Many thanks Mr H, you were spot-on.
I just spent a happy 3 or 4 hours checking earths, tracing wiring, untangling wiring, threading new wire through sleeving, re-soldering and tidying up.
The 3 wires from the neutral switch run in a sleeve which passes behind the starter motor and up to a connector to the left of the ABS frame. Contrary to the wiring colours shown on the diagram, this sleeve contains a red, brown and white wire. The brown (earth) wire had broken. Post-the connector, the colours are per diagram.
It seems that, 4 or so years ago, when I had the gearbox out to replace the clutch, I must have trapped the wiring sleeve as I was bolting the subframe back together. It's taken this long to decide it's had enough. I would have been chewing on for another day at least, left to my own devices.
I owe you a beer at least and I'm so impressed that I have re-subscribed
PS, where did you get that diagram - it's much clearer than mine?
