Do you have power running to the switch? By bypassing the flasher unit it removes that as a cause of the problems.

No. The orange and two grey wires in the photo are the ones going to the switch. There was no power there.

Your new switch hasn't fallen apart has it? Rig up the old one and see.

The new one is made of the finest chinesium. Even when first fitted you had to press really hard to get the left hand indicator to work.
I blame you.

The mechanism for the fuel switch is missing and the fuel gauge has stopped working, I haven't got a clue what mileage to fill up at.
Putting it on reserve will involve stripping bodywork to get to the tap, probably on a duel carriageway as that is what 99% of my commute consists.

Overall, I am loving it.
I don't think I've ever had a bike where the fuel gauge was anywhere near accurate.

You're not a real bier until you've put a bike on reserve whilst it's moving only to pull your hand back only to find that you no longer have a glove on, it's flapping while jammed in the fuel tap mechanism.
The fuel tap is buried behind a lot of bodywork, no way to get to it on the move.

Yes, with hindsight we'd all be millionaires.
Anyway have you seen the size of my yard?
