Now at first, I (very silly-ly) tried to re-solder ignition wires back in place without realising the missing socket was what I needed (I know, bad mistake). What I achieved doing this was melting the plastic socket (I think it's called a crimp maybe? Excuse my ignorance) somewhat, as you can see below.

Flash forward a while, and I realise my mistake, buy a new ignition barrel, and try to plug it back into that half-melted socket. It clicks into place well enough, but the bike won't turn on. I've charged the battery and made sure it's properly connected, but still no dice, not a sign of life in her.

Any advice on what I should do next? Is it worth trying to order and install a new plastic socket-boyo? I'm not sure what the problem is right now and feel like I'm bashing my head against a brick wall here!
