Can someone translate this?

Ignition switch controls the power, so I would trace that first and make sure you are getting power to the switch and then from the switch back to any relays. From there it would most likely be a relay problem if one still exists.

thanks for reply mike, i have no manual or info on this bike but there is a relay close to the fuse box not sure what it is tho.

If it were me, and I had a multimeter available, I'd start at the source (battery). Make sure after charging that the voltage is approximately 12.5 - 14 V. Anything less is probably an indicator that the battery is calling it quits.
