xvs 650 main relay wiring

[tallguy125]

Hello

I have no idea which way the wires go on the main relay for the dragstar. Has anyone got a picture or knowledge of which way the wires must go onto the relay, It is the 10 pin relay in the battery box of the bike.

Any help would be appreciated.

Not so easy, even with the service manual.
You should have 11 pins, according to the Service Manual.

The plug and relay socket have a cut-out on one side. If my Ascii Art is up to scratch, it should look something like this:

__ __ __ __ __
[ ]__] ]
[__ __ __ __ __ __]


So that's 5 spaces up, 6 down (or the other way around, depending on how you hold it). The slot is marked below as 'empty'.

The rest all have coloured wires. Unfortunately the manual doesn't tell me what the top right (B/R) colour actually is, so assuming you have one wire left at the end, that must be it.

Plug end is wired like this:

L/R R/B L empty G B/R
L/B L/Y Sb B/Y L/W B/W


Top row, L to R:
L/R - Blue/Red
R/B - Red/Black
L - Blue
G - Green
B/R - ??????????


Bottom row, L to R:
L/B - Blue/Black
L/Y - Blue/Yellow
Sb - Sky Blue
B/Y - Black/Yellow
L/W - Blue/White
B/W - Black/White

Make sense?

Thank you very much, that helps a lot.

Does it actually work, though? Is it correct?

And what is that bloody 11th colour? Brown? Brown & Red?

Yes it worked a treat, the bike doesnt work properly but it started up. And i cant remember what the colour was off the top of my head right now. I also found it on the wiring diagram of the bike after staring at it for a while.
