starter switch problem, HELP!

[jayV4]

Putting max back together after complete strip down to adress some frame rust and now the bike won't start

electrics on, push the start button and all the happens is the backlights go off on the clocks so...

I got the bike running after arcing over the starter relay with the trusty skrewdriver, seeing the relay as being knackerd I've bought a new one fitted it and still the same problem persists!

So now all i can figure is a bad earth /double earth or something stupid as everything is working and running

I dont know where to look now please help!

I would check your starting circuit cutoff relay. Make sure 12 volts is coming out of the output coil side of the relay. Do this by checking voltage at the blue/white wire coming from your starter switch. Check input voltage too. If it's 12 volts then your relay is "stuck" open. It's obviously not your side stand switch, diode block or clutch switch since you can jump your bike and it runs normally.
