Glad its sorted now.

Yes it is pretty badly done - glad it's not OEM then I don't have to replace it

So where does that wire go to on the Cathode side (banded) and back to on the Anode?
My worry would be that it is there to protect the switch from getting direct voltage to it if it is switching the ground.

Yes i wondered that as I've LR90 that used to burn out it's headlight switch due to the current running through them but this is the sidelight circuit so really low powered anyway ... weird one
Downstream side is the switch connector and then handlebar switch itself, upstream I haven't investigated further as it's all covered.
It is however now a permanent live with the ignition on from the 15A fuse in the fuse box (marked for lights).
I can always fit another diode ..... what do you guys think ?
