Wiring
hondatri:
Thanks Bodd that is a much better diagram where you can see the Red /Red White going to the 2 pin connector.The previous owner Had cut the Red wires from the fusebox and fitted a Blade Fuse. The Red/White goes from Reg to Batt. My problem as I explained is that if I connect Red only to Batt I get the Oil/Neut Lights on. When I Add the Red white the Lights go out so I suspect the Reg. How can I test it. Sorry for being a pest.
PS. Why were these wires in a sleeve and why did Red/White show signs of overheating. Incidently the bike was runnin ok with a little Cam Chain noise I took it off road to remedy that.
Bodd:
This is what I was faced with, the fusebox was bypassed altogether and had 3 in line fuses added to the wires plucked from the loom, as it was a total rebuild I had the loom completely off the bike and refurbished with new connectors and a fusebox I got from this guy, amazingly the only problem I had when I refit the loom was with the head light main beam and Simon (Lobo) pointed me in the right direction, I had 1 bad wire (blue to bulb holder), I'm not really that good when it comes to wiring and always number label each wire when I strip a bike because sometimes PO's change things, the rear light was green in the loom but blue from the light and a lot of wires were black due to someone being over zealous with a rattle can, what experience has taught me is that if a wire burns it is usually a faulty component or a short somewhere, as for testing components apart from finding faulty wires and circuits with a multi meter I'm out of my comfort zone, Simon is your man for that kind of stuff.

No wonder there was no resemblance to the wiring I looked at on my 400/4 then !!!.
Dan:
Overheating can also come from high resistance - caused by something as simple as dirty / corroded connectors. I had this on the fuse holders of my bike. You could smell overheating with the ignition on. A good clean up of the fuse holders sorted it.

Thanks for all the replies guys I have sorted the wiring , Now to check all terminals.
