Title: Help with my wiring please !!!!!
Post by: Booie3007 on January 05, 2013, 04:14:48 PM
evening guys, i need of some help......



Whilst out for a ride this afternoon a cable tie failed dropping a part of the loom containing  three wires into my chain shredding them, to make matters work the bike chose that exact moment to run out of fuel and being on a roundabout I couldn't get to the res switch quick enough !!!!!!  >:(

They run from the alternator I believe into the engine casing on the left hand side of the bike next to were the clutch cable disappears.
I have untangled them, stripped them back so I can connect then together again and my problem is they are all yellow  :confused: so I have no idea which wire to reconnect to which.

Does anybody have any advice before I start stripping the side of the bike down and making a mess.  :icon_sad:

Doesn't matter which is which.  It's a 3-phase AC generator.

Make sure you stick around. Post some pics. Make some vids. Get an idea and show off your modifications or just how stock it is. We love pics.
