She has a 78 valve cover fitted, cb650 cam and tacho drive,cb750 clocks and a dyna s ignition and coils. Really don't know what she's worth just need her out of the ex's garage. Bike is based in Bristol. Any questions fire away, cheers Gordon

With mine I do the following: fuel on, choke on, kill switch set to off, throttle full open, hit starter/kick start till oil light goes out, flip kill switch to run and hit starter/kick start with half throttle.

Mine can be a git when cold. Found this works for me: fuel on,ignition on kill switch in off position, hold throttle wide open, two/three kicks, kill switch to run, one kick and she lives.

Honestly can't remember if it's third or fourth down. Think I'm third down but did drop to fourth at one point.

M-unit uses ground signal to switch so what would be a 12v feed to the switches is grounded instead.

From the manual you can set what controls you have on the bars.

7.7 Handle Bar Controls Three different types of handle bar controls are compatible with m-Unit. The particular type which will be used with m-unit must set in the setup menu.  Configuration A) – 5-push button controls - turn lights left  - push button - turn lights right  - push button - low beam / high beam - push button - start    - push button - horn   -  push button Configuration B) – Harley Davidson and BMW controls - turn lights left  - push button - turn light right  - push button - low beam / high beam - switch - start   - push button - horn   -  push button Configuration C) – most Japanese and European motorcycles - turn lights left / right  - 3 way switch  - low beam / high beam - switch - start   - push button - horn   -  push button configuration D) – new Ducati models - turn lights left / right  - 3 way switch  - low beam / high beam - push button  - start   - push button - horn   -  push button configuration E) – 4-push-button controls - turn lights left  - push button - turn lights right  - push button - low beam / high beam - push button  - horn   -  push button - start   = left turn + light simultaneously - kill switch   = right turn + light simultaneously  In case of using the OEM handle bar controls together with m-Unit; head light flashing push button is not applicable. There is also no possibility to switch the parking light by the m-Unit. Additional safety switches like side stand switch have to be connected as shown in chapter 7.9.

You can use stock switches but have to select that setting in the m-unit menu. Also you have to wire them to switch ground not 12v.
