Well that is best, even if you crimp them at first to just sort out the wires.

 

One more thing, if you still have the connectors you can help identify wires by their placement in the connector. Sometimes it is hard telling wire colors so you run them down or process of elimination.

 

Let start by getting the bike running, but first thing first everyone who wires needs to know how to read a schematic (ske).
A ske is a road map of your wiring, it looks complicated but if you know what you are looking for it is very simple.
If you are going to Florida to Indiana you do not look at texas.
You start at the source or the end and work your way back.
Lets start with getting the bike running.
First it is important to keep your circuits separate, do not wire your turn signals into your ignition unless you would like to have the bike die if you have a short in the signals.
So lights are lights, ign are ign circuits.
Here is the ske with the wires marked for the ignition.

If you go to the source you can enlarge it or copy it.
Let me know if you want me to e-mail it to you.
The red dots are the wires going to the kill/run switch it then goes to the start button (green wire)
It then goes back to the coil, that wire is marked as orange. (It is a white wire)
Like I said there is a wire inside the switches that connect the run to the start button, then that wire goes to the start relay, it is marked in blue. ( it is a black wire)
If you still have your connectors you can help identify wires by the place on the connectors.
You can see on the connectors that some holes are empty, some wires go in but do not come out the other side, they have small jumpers inside the connector that feed it back the same side.
Ok here is your question, again, do you still have the connectors?
Can you take a photo so we can see what we are working on.
Are you changing the headlight? And are you keeping the wiring inside the headlight or moving it along the neck?

 

yes i still have all the connectors and i am keeping the headlight. is there a way i can wire just one connector inside the headlight and clean it up a little?

 

and thanks for all your help man i really appreciate it =]

 

Well you do not need any connectors they just make it easier to disconnect, and unplug the pin from the back of the connector to pull it out of the headlight.
But yea sure you could get by with one with everything you are doing away with.
You will need to count how many wires you have going in and out, then get a connector that size, such as a deutsch connector.

How about that photo?

 

No Problem

 

 

89, that is not as bad as it looks, I am sure by now you know to hook up the green wire from under the tank, to the green wire from the right handle bar. For now you can just twist them together and put some tape on them, or I like to use twist on wire connectors for 110v just for testing, then go back when we are all done and use your connectors or solder all the connections. move the wires where you want them. I like to use a butt solder joint, and shrink wrap.
Do the same with the black and white wires, tape off the ends of all the other wires so that none are touching anything put the battery in and you should be able to start the bike. If it sparks when you put the battery in check for any wires that are touching.
We do one circuit at a time.
Are you starting to get a feel what we are doing?

 

yeah i got it started. bad news though: the guy that had the bike before me added a new wiring harness together and tied them into each other. so i am disassembling everything and starting new
