Nope, they are the energizing circuit, one goes to earth the other gets power when the starter button is pushed on yours ( opposie on 500).
I suspect the small red wire to loom had a bad connection OR moving all the stuff about made a better(temporarily) connection in fuse box 5

There is a difference between car and bike cutoff, bikes can go straight up and down cars must go to kerb

Thats the rotor which i have a couple nos somewhere, there should be a peg on the back that locates in a slot in the end of selector drum.
From memory they cost me £7 plus post which you can have one for. PM me with your address if you want one 7

A "standard" electronic tacho will count 4 lt pulses for 1 crank revolotion, the honda coil will pulse twice for one crank revolution so readings may well be wrong, also with the dyna there is a different amount of "dwell" or coil charging time which may afect the tacho operation, i cant comment on that as i understand electrical dohickies but not elctronical ones

It used to be part of a Suzuki service schedule to swop the plugs 1 to 4 and 2 to 3 to even out the spark erosion wear

How long is a piece of string, it depends on level of thrashing and servicing
