To start, I need to pull a brake lever & press the starter button. When I do this the ign circuit goes dead, on the back (Lhs) side. On the front (rhs) the lever doesn't deaden the circuit but the starter won't operate. The back light/brake light cluster is fine when removed from the bike. The handlebar switches seem to be working when tested with a Multimeter. I think the problem is buried somewhere in the electrics. Perhaps a relay or other. Any help greatly appreciated.

I looked all over and could not locate a wiring diagram for your bike. Typically, there is battery voltage to only one of the large cables attached to the solenoid. The 'hot' one comes directly from the positive side of the battery, while the other cable goes to the starter motor.
It sounds like the starter solenoid is bad. To find out, simply bridge the two large cables attached to it using a large screwdriver. If the starter spins when you do this, the solenoid is bad. If the starter doesn't spin, then the problem is either the starter motor, or the cable that goes to it.

test the batt -it must be 12v at all times -slightly lower and ignition wont function

HI, LETS REMEMBER THE STARTER RELAY IS ONLY A MAGNETIC SWITCH, WHICH WHEN THE STARTER SWITCH IS PRESSED IT OPENS THE CIRCUIT AND ALOWS 12V DC TO COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT TO THE STARTER MOTOR, IF YOU BRIDGE THE 2 THICK WIRES AT THE STARTER RELAY WITH THE IGNITION SWITCHED ON, 1 COMES FROM THE BATERY, AND THE OTHER GOES TO THE STARTER MOTOR, AND YOU HAVE SUFICIANT POWER IN YOUR BATTERY THE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER AND START, THUS ELIMINATING THE RELAY, IF THE STARTER DOES NOT TURN OVER THE ENGINE WHEN YOU DO THIS IT IS LIKELY THE STARTER MOTOR ITSELF IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, YOU COULD ALWAYS REMOVE THE WIRE FROM THE RELAY AND PUT IT MOMENTARILY DIRECT TO THE POS SIDE OF THE BATTERY, INSTEAD OF BRIDGING AT THE RELAY, REMEMBER THAT IF THE BIKE RUNS WHEN YOU JUMP START IT, THEN THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE STARTING SIDE , AND NOT THE IGNITION SIDE AS THE IGNITOR IS CONECTED TO THE IGNITION SIDE REPLACING THIS WOULD BE A WASTE OF FUNDS. THESE MACHINES ALSO HAD PROBLEMS EARLY ON WITH STARTER MOTORS & THE STARTER CLUTCH, WHICH IS A ONE WAY CLUTCH LOCATED IN THE LH ENGINE COVER ALONG WITH THE AC GENERATOR
