latest update.
Just used a battery from one of my other bikes and it turns over OK now.
So the battery was the culprit.
However, just noticed when I turn the ignition on, the only light on the dash to switch on is the green neutral light.
Checked all the fuses and non are blown.. No oil pressure, no charge light.

Probably a loose\broken connection some where?

Charge light and oil light (and sidestand) share a connection, blue/black back to the lefthand switchgear and fusebox, I’d definitely recheck fuse #4



edit: Won’t be the fuse, as the neutral light is on the same fuse. Do the parking light work and/or indicators work ok? they take 12v from the l/h switchgear and flasher relay respectively.

I like how you've coloured the wiring diagram, that does actually make it so much easier to read.

in which case my money’s on a connector or break in the blue/black wire forward of the split, presumably the stand warning light doesn’t work either

That narrows it down nicely for you then.

Just an observation: my Cagiva Raptor 650 steadfastly refused to start after some work on the shock and fitting a new battery. No sparks at all, despite the efi priming and the starter turning the motor. It turned out the fault lay in the first loom connector from the kill switch, wherein the terminals were corroded. The problem was absolutely nothing to do with the work I'd been doing on the bike!
