Time to start taking the bike to work and I find the second problem. The wiring to the headlights got caught in the forks and cut. After looking at the wiring it was obvious this had happened before and the fix had been bodged. Wires were soldered without individual insulation and shorted against each other. So just after midnight, in the rain I removed the front wiring harness. I replaced some wires, resoldered most of the joins, individually insulated each join and used some spiral wire wrap to protect the wiring. I will post some pictures of the original mess later.
