So. Battery good, bike will bump start and when I press the button I just get the red oil light. Starter runs when attached to a straight 12V feed. All fuses appear to be fine and I bridged the starter relay, ignition off, (woo, sparky!) and the starter turned over. So I'm guessing this all points to the ignition switch? I'll check the relay as per Haynes guide lines tomorrow but anyone anything else to suggest? Cheers!

My eldest has turned 19 today, so gets to unwrap his present and here it is in all its glory

Wow.. wish my old man got me something like that when I was 19 or 29 or 39 even.. Congratulations!

Hello, i have just got my yammy back on the road after a similar problem, what it turned out to be was one of the bushings in the starter motor not being fully out, ( had sprung in, but not returned) this may be a possable problem? Regards, Matt

I've had the same problem myself, if you remove the seat and the fairing with the grab rail on the right hand side of the bike you will find a relay/block connector at the front of a row of three or four.relays/connectors, remove it from its holder, turn it upside down and you should see a blue/white cable which is from the starter button. Check the connection going into the block, mine was corroded so I cleaned out the female connection in the block, joined a new bit of wire to the cable and pushed it into the block then taped it up with insulating tape and the jobs a good un. Also check the kill switch is set to run.
