The GT500 wiring diagram is here: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=4743&start=15

The PEI ignition is self powered. The ignition switch & kill switch stop the motor by grounding out the ignition.

Did you powder coat the frame? This can cause lots of ground problems.
Do the lights work? If they don’t then you may have ground problems.
Did you replace the ignition switch? You might have the wrong switch.
