RE: Exactly!!!!
Stop Press!! I just went for my first proper ride since the switchchange and I have no turn signals, no hornand no back lights!
I think I've found out what the problem is. I wired the red feed to the common on the switch, the red/black (ignition)to one side of the switch and the red/gray (accessories) to the other side. This means at the moment you can either switch red to red/black OR red to red/gray. I do have (half)a copy of the wiring diagram and I think I should have wired as follows:
Switch pos 1 - no feed
Switch Pos 2 - red Feed to red/black AND red/gray
Switch pos 3 - red Feed to red/gray only.
Looking at the half a diagram I have if you don't have power to the red/blackAND the red/gray under normal riding half the circuits don't work.
Does anyone know for surewhether the 'regular' ignition switch feeds power to the red/black AND the red/gray for normal riding and then only to the red/gray for accessories?
I know, I know, I should have bought the manual but these are 130 bucks over here. Robbing bastards.
All the best. WW

Yes, you are supposed to have power to both.
The proper way to hotwire one of these, is with a pair of wire cutters and a wire nut. Cut and strip all three wires, then screw all three together with the wire nut.

1/ You do indeed need to have a connection between the live (red) and the red/black AND the red/gray all together to have everything working (turn signals, rear lights etc).
2/ You only need to have the red/gray connected to live for the accessories.
