As I've had the regulator off it couldn't be that one of them goes to that? I don't understand about the two small terminals mentioned by Petermigreen earlier..

So it'll go, ( batt+, solenoid, then other side of solenoid, starter motor+) the smaller solenoid wires just pull the switching in and out on command of starter button.

Excellent description, just start connecting them from the startermotor up and all goes well!

I've still got three cable ends and I don't know which goes where though.... is it possible one of the solenoid terminals had two cables go to it?
K2-K6:
That one, bottom left, that you've arrowed, check the other end of that as it could be the battery earth strap.
Is the battery earth strap otherwise accounted for? Or is this it?
It looks like it's not got an insulating cover on the wire? In which way an earth is configured. All positive (they are unused and direct to battery) should have the ends shielded to prevent anything loose touching them, resulting in melting stuff.

Yes...that goes to the battery...
I think I'd better wheel her up the road to the bike shop in the morning?
