Exactly how did you bypass the side stand switch ? ?
The clutch switch is a possible problem

We just looped it. The clutch switch only cuts out when your in gear and pull away?

Have a look at the starter solenoid fuse, it's a 30 amp pull out type - mine has blown a couple of times when I had the battery on charge while trying to start the bike. If you still have idiot lights then it could be something else.

Right got it started. If anyone does not realise the H model has a different ignition barrel there is a resistor in the L model which the ecu picks up then allows the spark! Now we have it started but runs like a bag of spanners!

I am assuming it is you that changed the ignition switch ? ?
Therefore you have asked us a question without giving us all the material facts........................

Errr, service time or has that been done already ?
Nothing worse than having an H and not being able to scratch it !
