Only thing i have done is connect heated grips into the dedicated plug under the tank theses were off .
Checked battery terminals for tightness all were fine checked under the tank to see if i had disturbed anything all was fine checked the handle bar connections all seems to be okay.
Could it be a battery voltage problem it was showing 11.5 v when it was ruining 

There are a few simple things you can try apart from what was rightfully suggested by kwackerzh2, the obvious issue is low voltage but I don't believe this would cause it and if it did then your battery light should already be and stay on for low voltage, it appears you may have disturbed some wiring while fitting the heated grips which draw a fair amount of current anyhow, however try the following:

1. disconnect the heated grips and see if the problem goes away
2. check all fuses that they are seated correctly and none are blown
3. check the headlight plug
4. check the plug connected to the meter that it is secure and making good contact
5. check that the ECU plug is connected properly and making contact
6. disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes and reconnect as this may reset the ECU
7. make sure you used the correct spare plug and fuse for the heated grips

Just take backward steps from the time you installed the heated grips and make sure your battery is fully charged...

Good Luck...

Found the plug its buried behind the abs unit and radiator on top of the engine i have never been near it so could be a loom issue you have to take all to bits to get to it , getting fed up now
