Just a thought as I noticed this the other day ..
Have you had the rear taillight disconnected It has 2 green wires and on my bike one has the faintest of yellow trace marks....almost invisible especially in a darker garage . One is an earth the other a switch on to the lamp I'm assuming this would run to the headlight ....if connected wrong...or together thay would cause this fault 34

Ok
Thing is I have 3-4 here and all have been off a bike for at least 5 years if not 10+ So god knows what condition they are in. Perhaps I will sort them all at least one must be ok 35

It would be nice to know before I tidy it up and fit and fill the system Thanks in advance 36

I believe this is correct after getting caught out before ...i then looked abit closer at fees.
If it's a classified add you pay a fee upfront. So they already have their slice.. then they charge a tiny fee if someone presses buy it now. If it's an all out auction they take 10% up to £2500 and its then capped at £250. If you pull an auction with bids up to a grand they charge you a 100 quid .... for the help. I found this out when I had a racing tribsa on auction sitting at about 3500 and then the original builder called me and let me have a shed load of history so I needed to reassess my options... Ebay fees were £250 . I did manage to call and i said I couldn't start it so advert was misleading...they let me off but said it was a one time exception... 41

If you pull an auction with bids on it you still pay the fees on the final price it was sitting on
Up to £250.. They will let you off once but only once. I found this out first hand . Obviously if it's a classified you pay up front but have a way smaller final selling fee 42

Personally I dont think it will make any difference .
The sun will keep coming up in the morning.. And the world will still explode in a half a billion years time.... Watching the birds this morning on the bird feeder and they dont give a shit about any of it ...made no difference to them ! 44
