Next problem I have is with the wiring of the switches. I turn on the kill switch and hit the starter button. Starter turns and the bike fires no probs. Let go of the starter button and the engine dies.

I can hold down the starter and the engine will turn for as long as the button is held down. I can even kill the ignition via the kill switch, but if the starter button is held down the engine will continue to run. Is there a sparky out there that can help? As previously posted I've got a wiring diagram of what I've got on the bike.
What's a TPS? :smt017

throttle position sensor :smt001

As far as i know it tells the CDI exactly where about the throttle is in terms of how far you have wound it open.
