Hi all,

I have a problem rewiring my stop/tail light.
I fiited a stock rear fender complete with light off a '99 model and now can't figure what wires go where.
On my bikes loom I have green, red and black for the tail light and some other wires which must be for indicators.
pleeeeaaasse someone give a heads up on whats what b4 I try and dissolve my troubles with large amounts of ale !!
Thanx
Nik

 

Red and green to taillight, red should be stop, green tail, grays are turn signals. Gray with brown tape is right, violet tape is left. I guess black is a ground???

I don't see a black wire on my wiring diagram, but this is for a 1991, so hopefully some of these are correct for you.

you are correct sir
Wiring is the same in 91 as for 86-90 models
Only turn signal is brown for right
Violet for left

 

Thanks Guys.....from the tail light I have re/white, red/yellow one is stop the other tail, however when connected from my loom power onlt seems to come from the red wire and the green gives nothing at all.
It is cold and dark here now so will be staying by the fire tonite.....will have another go tomorrow and then maybe ask for more advice if possible.

all the best
Nik

 

Maybe the green needs the stopswitch to ground it? Is that a factory taillight assembly?

Hi John,
Yes it is a stock factory tail light off a late 90's model so has different colour coded wiring coming from it that I am splicing the wires from my bike into. So I have figured on the late 90's tailight the stop and the takl light are red/yellow and red/white.
