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?

Hi everyone, first post and hopefully in the right section. I am having trouble starting my '89 FK. It was running perfectly a couple of days ago until I changed the exhaust downpipes to a SS Motad system. There is now no spark or voltage to the coils and the fuel pump is not moving any fuel. The starter and engine turn and all lights and fuses are good. The fuel pump works when connected directly to the battery. I intially thought the problem was with the fuel cut out relay but I then checked for a spark and nothing. I then suspected the kill switch but that is working fine. Looking at the wiring diagram it could be the side stand switch but the bike is in neutral and I have tried with the side stand up - still nothing. Any ideas? I am going to remove the tape around the wiring loom and check for any breaks. Should there be a complete circuit between the two pins going to the kill switch from the wiring loom (female) red connector (Black and Black/White wires)? Really stuck and if anyone has any ideas they will be greatly received.
