hebrew hammer Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I hope someone can help me with this wiring nightmare. When I was removing the front end off of the bike I marked and labeled everything with numbers on bright green tape as you can see in the pictures. I ended up missing one since it was getting dark (few days before not in the pic) and when I try to figure out what goes where I cannot find the missing link. It is a black wiring that is coming from the left side and I believe it is for the blinkers/headlight. I have dotted it yellow, so where does this go? How can I organize this mess?

YPVS TONE Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 On Yamahas a plain black wire is for earth so it could be for the indicators or headlight.Is there a single black wire coming from headlight bulbholder? .Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperami Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 i know this may sound silly after YPVS Tone told us that black is for earth on Yams... but have you tested it with a volt-meter to ensure it is an earth??? i never trust old bikes because you cant tell what others have done with them before you got it!!! when i took the wiring out of the headlight shell, i could`nt get the damm stuff back in without breaking something!!!!! I ended up making the holes in the shell slightly bigger to give me a bit more room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hebrew hammer Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks I believe this is a ground now so technically I can cut the wire and tape it up to the inside of the bucket correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedshop Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 You do get odd wires that aren't used, but I wouldn't cut it off, just tuck it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
