Will it Run?! Wire Harness Modifications

Quick glance - Not sure, but you seem to have taken the side stand switch out of the circuit. G/w needs to be connected to y/bl so that it thinks the side stand is in the correct position. It is a two way switch so it has to be feeding the correct info to the management system.
There may be something that involves the bank angle sensor too, but I can’t work out what you have done….but…
You have ‘nd ame’ Written on the bottom right. I think that probably says Ground Frame’. If so, that isn’t correct.
That line Arrowed is the b/w line which feeds power to lots of devices, including the LT side of the ignition coil. The circuit is completed by the ICM connecting it to ground whenever the timing demands it. . That then causes the coil to produce a spark on both HT leads.
So that lead that you have connected to Frame Ground needs to be connected to the 12v fuse. Normally it only gets 12v when the bike isn’t on its side and the kill switch is on. Also if the bike is in neutral - or the side stand is up and clutch lever is in.
Somewhere, the fuel pump comes into the equation. The engine needs to be getting fuel. In the 1300, it turns off when the kill switch is off, ignition is off or the bike has fallen over. On the 1100, I think it is stopped electronically if the ignition coil isn’t sent a pulse. Whatever, the engine needs fuel.
I’m assuming you are focusing only on getting the engine running at this stage - as you are bypassing a lot of safety features.
Disclaimer - I haven’t worked on an 1100 for 20 years, but much of the logic in this diagram is the same as the 1300. Someone else will probably pick up on this if I have said anything that is desperately wrong.

Just to clarify, this 1995 is an ABSI model? What was the wiring harness that you recently purchased off of? A standard or ABS unit?
