yeah basically, ive got a end of wire on each terminal, then the wire at the other end it twisted together, once youtouch the terminals, the bike tries to start,just like it should do. But thats without the keys even having to be in the ignition

have you got a multimeter? check continuity of the fuse, sounds like there is a short somewhere and its blown the fuse.

well by connecting the 2 terminals as you have done is bypassing the starter relay and sending a direct 12v to the starter motor which is why the bike has spun over. If you have replaced the fuse and its not gone pop straight away and you have nothing when you pressed the starter button then either your starter button or kill switch is buggered.
get a multimeter on the terminal that goes to the starter motor and with ignition on press the starter button then work back to see where the voltage stops.you could of course check the voltage from the junction box to the starter button also, and check to see if you can here a click coming from the junction box when you hit that starter button, could be the starter circuit relay playing up.lots to try mate, don't lose heart with it.
you have connected the loom up under the airbox haven't you?

what loom under tha air box? i havent took anyone off from under the air box.
i know my kill switch hasnt worked since i had the bike,but the start button did. Icant get the screws out of the houseing to see if anything amiss on the switch gear

ok lets assume the starter is still sending a signal to the junction box then, have you checked all fuses in the junction box? i don't think they do anything to the starter circuit tho' thats what the 30amp is for. check the wiring into the junction box make sure nothings come loose.

ive checked the junction box and all wiring seems to be fine there. What i wana do is get the casing open for the starter button/ killswitch, but the barsted screws are rounded and i cant undo em.

well if you can't get it apart then trace the connectors for the switchgear, there is 2 black/red wires going up to the starter button try and bridge them someway to see if it turns over, if it does then your starter button is buggered.
