Default Side stand Diode?????

Guys n Gals

Finally managed to get the old teapot going but i noticed that one of the electrical components was gettin hot, the bike starts and runs (nothing that a tune won't fix) but as soon as i put the bike in gear it all goes away (lights engine etc) as if i had hit the kill switch, can anyone tell me if this is due to the hot electrical piece beign a knackard sidesatnd diode?

Cheers
