Previous owner left everything to dealers, I showed him some faults he was not aware of when viewing the bike so not much there Will remove the fairings this weekend and start measuring and tracing and checking for cables that aren't part of the loom. Will make some notes as I go as this will be my first time chasing a electrical issue and that wiring map is already making my eyes hurt

But now I can do you one more - When the engine is not running, the ignition switches off normally, and it doesn't matter if the kill switch is on or not

Both work fine on their own as far as I can see. When either one of the two are of they give a clean switch to ON, but somehow they need to both be off before the engine stops, So I'm not sure the issue is in the switches, but will check them as well

Second hand vehicles, esp. ones that are over 20 years old - You know you're going to be fixing some stuff. At least she runs smooth and rides like a dream

Questions.. - Keys off and out - Lights and Instrument panel stays on while engine keeps running - Yip - Its the quickest way at this stage to kill the engine - This I will need to check when I have time to start stripping. I'll remove the front fairing over the weekend and check the power to the engine stop relay as well as try to trace the kill switch cable

Hi Grum Thank you for the reply Private sale, so no dealership. When kill switch is in the Off position the engine does not crank. It seems I need to start with Fuse C and the Engine Stop Relay. I will give feedback once I had the time to check this. Apparently the dealership that serviced the bike told the previous owner there is nothing wrong and that it is part off the HISS system. Yet another reason I don't trust dealerships anymore.

Good afternoon to all Viffer fanatics. I bought a 2002 VTech about three weeks ago and the bike is a gem. Few small things I will fix on her, some already done. My biggest headscratcher however is my kill switch / Ignition Switch Bike will not start with either one of the two off - As it should Engine will not stop when I hit the kill switch - Not normal Engine will not stop when switched off at the ignition - Not normal Engine stops when I hit the kill switch AND turn the ignition off. As the bike is still in almost showroom condition I cannot think that anybody messed with the wiring (nothing is impossible) but I will go in and take a look when time affords it. Can anyone give me a indication of how the cabling should run?
