I have a Yamaha D6 S 1995 N reg (green the faster type)

I was riding home from work yesterday and went into my local garage to fill up. Everything was fine until I came back to the bike and it would not start.
No sound. In neutral (light showing) with side stand down kill switch is in the on operating position. Pressed starter button and nothing ecept the oil light coming on.
New battery was fitted early Jan and showing 12v charge on RAC man's meter.
RAC man tested the coil with ignition on and starter button being depressed but still nothing.
Jumper lead before button pressed showing 0.5v on soleniod/coil and when button pressed showed not much more. Managed to get bike running by shorting across the terminals on the outside of the coil and pressing starter button fired and kept running. Got home tried to restart and nothing.

My guesses are either its the soleniod/coil or the side stand switch.
How can I tell which is which and is the side stand switch a dealer part?
Your advice and help is greatly appreciated.
Ade

PS would a side stand swtich from a 900 fit a 600?

If the bike is in neutral, you can start the bike with the sidestand down. As by bypassing the coil you got it to work, I'd look there first.

Still searching for what it can be.

Alls fixed and running
