If youve replaced the w=switch and ZFE and confirmed both ok
then yuo have a broken wire or bad earth

ZFE and switch gear update.

Yes, I've checked all earths and all are fine so it points to a broken wire but where the feck do I start...
Believe me it's getting very close.Scrap it
Strip out the Canbus to find itYes, I've checked all earths and all are fine so it points to a broken wire but where the feck do I start...
Where is it and what's it look like?
Wires and controllers in a loom
Simpler bikes seem to outlast these modern inventions
Where are these wires and controllers in a loom? You are dead right about simpler bikes...
I'm not the sharpest tool when it comes to electrics.
they are just wires....
what canbus did was allow fewer smaller gauge wires operating at much lower power to control more and more features
its just basic networking sending gibberish to dim modules that operate more than one thing
look for clear damage, squashed, trapped broken sleeve, or insulation.... likely won't see any - but in areas where the wires flex back and forth (with the steering) inside what looks perfectly OK, weak cheap copper snaps and misbehaves

Thanks botus, I've looked everywhere and can't see any signs of wear. Like you say, likely wont see any. What a waist of a good bike.
?? say what
Canbus is a control system JB, not a module or wires you drop in and out
The OP's best way forward is
Using a wiring diagram - i found the starting charging one -
And the LH switch cluster
Continuity check the wiring from the ZFE to the switch connector - either as a end to end check, or ZFE to the next item in the chain
looks like X9070 is the switch connector
So continuity check from the relevant pins on the ZFE to the connector - no continuity = broken wire
and looking at the switch, you may have a broken wire in your switch pack as they seem to share a common connection and i note a small diode in there too
have you tried a known good cluster pack , it may be a you have 2 faulty units , I know the one i sent had a sticky high beam
If it is a continuity fault , its a ball ache, but you need to strip the loom either insections or as a whole
It took me most of the day to strip enough off my hexhead to get to the loom at the headstock to find the break
i do seem to recall others having a simiar issue, and the fault was the ABS module or similar ( or i may be barking up the wrong tree)
One other thing to check - battery is it good, failing batterys can cause canbus issues might be a good time to treat the old girl to a new pacemaker
Thank you for taking the time Santa. It all looks very confusing but I'll give it a go. It was putting a new battery on that seems to have caused the problem in the first place. 
Have you disconnected the battery fo 5 mins to let any soft errorc clearThank you for taking the time Santa. It all looks very confusing but I'll give it a go. It was putting a new battery on that seems to have caused the problem in the first place.
