Hi FLST89,many thanks for your input.I already had the right side tank off and decided to look in around the wiring and found an orange wire snapped off from somewhere and after some deduction and removal of the remaining tank,found it was off one of the dash lights[wondered why they were so dim!!] After that i thought i've got nothing to lose by hitting the starter and wiggling the loom on the right side,when all of a sudden the bike started turning over!!!! all right , i thought,now all i have to do is find where in that 4 square inches or so,where there is a bad connection.Will let you guys know what i find and thanks again-much appreciated.
