I am really stumped with this issue. Hopefully it is an easy-ish fix

When i turn my ignition on, i get no neutral light, no gear indicator and no headlights or indicators. My electric start is also dead as a doornail.

However, if i kick start my bike it starts up fine, while idling my neutral light and gear indicators now work, as does headlights. It is as if the bike has to be ticking over for electrics to work

I charged the battery about 4 days ago, and apart from that I haven't messed about with anything. Only other thing that has happened is my low beam stopped working about week ago or 2 back. High beam is fine.

Duff battery or connections to the bike.

cheers. Battery charge is fine, been told to check the fuse which sits behind the side panel near the battery as that is likely culprit
