Breakfree Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Can anyone point me towards a wiring diagram for a 1987 XT 225, please? I have a Haynes manual that covers 1989 onwards but the wiring is different. The first two years, '87 & 88, I believe, were kickstart only and the CDI had only six wires, later ones in the manual have starters and nine wires out of the CDI. I have had to replace the CDI with a modern unit and I tried to match wire colours, new with old, but it is apparently not that simple. Just to make things difficult, my bike is a Japanese grey import. After I get it running properly my first modification is to fit a big soft saddle to better fit my anatomy, twenty road miles is awful on the hard knobby tyres. Trials universals look like a good softener, too. Thanks for reading this, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakfree Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Good evening Mr YamaGod, Sir. Many thanks for your help. I joined the American forum you suggested and await my confirmation. Coincidentally, I'm off to see relatives in Montana in a few weeks and when I get amongst the trails that surround their town in the Rocky Mountains, will no doubt be devastated that my Serow is back home in Yorkshire. I wonder if a rented people carrier will be any good on the dirt! Just looking through the American pictures is enough to get me thinking about emigration. I wonder if my wife would mind. As long as I don't send my washing back home to her, I guess she'd keep in touch.
