Kev, I thought that connecting the two wires would bypass the sensor allowing the bike to run without it. When I combined the two pins in the connector using a flat screwdriver the error code was still showing. Does the ECU need to be reset to clear any rectified fault readings?
Use the resistance setting to check the switch. I think the idea here is that if the multimeter shows that the switch is working ok, then you could use the multimeter to make sure the cables from the switch to the ecu are good.

Cheers
