If you don't have good earths then it'll run you ragged as the faults all look unrelated and tease you with what appears to be a mad logic. I usually meter the circuits off using a meter with a beep to confirm continuity back to the frame.
Bullet connectors, squeeze the female as already said and use small amount of vaseline to make them much more reliable and less suspect when it's damp.

Hi all, many thanks for your responses, I guess its one of those trials and tribulations that we all go through with bike work! You are probably right about the lighting/earthing being the route of all my probs.
As an update, I have wired the greens at the back to the frame now. I am guessing that I need to pull out all the cables in the headlamp and start again as I am probably getting the greens muddled up in there somehow.
Also, after much head scratching, the rogue and lonely wire is actually brown & black with a yellow tag, its the 9th wire from my LH handlebar switch, and I suspect the switch might be from a different model (750?/US?) as there really is nowhere to connect it in the loom I have.
I like the idea of testing back to the frame, I have a multimeter and might give this a go when the mrs is watching x factor.
Cheers
all

Mines not an Import and I know there are a couple of wires in the headlight that do f all.

Some wiring diagrams here.

It might be worth posting a picture of the switch assay, someone might recognize it, then you could look up the wiring diagram and work out the function of each wire.
