Earths are live?
I take that to mean you have volts on them, which shouldn't be, obviously.
Check connections between battery -ve and chassis. Look for corrossion, paint, shitty connections in loom, etc.
Have you tried putting a jumper or replacement wire between battery -ve and chassis just to test?

thats what i mean livewire that there are volts
on them.
i have replaced the earth to the battery and no joy.
the only thing i haven't changed on the bike is the
ignition which i'm going to do tomorrow.
Also have noticed that if i turn off the run stop
switch that the main{green wire to the frame} earth wire is no longer live
but all the rest still are.i have changed the switch
gear are still no joy.

Sorry lads i should have
said what is was.
it ended up bad earths on the bike
had to clean everything again
and move the wiring loom earth,all's good now.
lucky for me a mate had broken a blade and gave me
all the parts to try out.
