terminal 3 goes to the ignition (it'll probably be a thin with with
thickish insulation) 1 or 5 goes to the battery negative or chassis
of the bike

2 and 4 are the battery positive and lights etc

Thanks for this info, that's very helpful. My wiring diagram
of the bike shows the word magneto next to a rectifier and
CDI ignitor so I assume I must have a magneto ignition.

yuou have a wiring diagram?
theere should be some sory of legend that identifies the colour
of each wire on that diagram.

there should also be numbers next to the terminals of the
ignition switch these should be on the diagram too.

So points 2 and 4 are both +12v? ( Red and Green show +12v
when testing with the Black wire. Does it matter which +12v
goes to which point? I'm guessing it doesn't as either way,
the points are connected together as soon as the ignition is
switched ON.

your're seeing +12V on both the red and the green wires with no
switch there? that seems a little odd,

Thanks again for your help.

I'd like to see the diagram.
