Disconnect all the wires from the coil terminal with the white wires on it. Are there only 2? Check for voltage on both wires (individually), ignition on, kill switch off. Both should have 0 volts. I suspect one will have +12V. Follow that wire back into the harness and find out where it goes. It is supposed to go up to the kill switch white wire, and I suspect it it going to the ignition switch. The other white wire and the blue wire go to your ignition module. You might want to make sure.

Anyway, one of those two white wires is picking up +12V somewhere it is not supposed to. Either the one that is supposed to go up to the kill switch, or the one that goes to the ignition module has a splice in it going to the switch. You'll just have to trace the wires.

Do you have no tach?

Here's what I found, the junction at rear fender under the seat,book shows w into #4 then out #4. On the bike it's w into left #4 out #3 on top right. Witch should have orange but doesn't. Not sure what it means in book colored dots versus uncolored dots.ie there are eight dots for #3 ,five colored and three not. Close pic included here.

The empty #4 spot has a broke off wire connector down inside, can these two white wires simply just be unplugged and connected to each other? Isn't that the purpose of that junction anyway? Doesn't look like anything else joins those two.

I can't tell from your pic. Too blurry and not the whole schematic. The colored dots are there to help you trace a circuit, typically the ignition circuit.

Now, if the bike's wiring is not matching the schematic, I think you have found where the DPO struck. Problem being that they probably Aggie-rigged it for some reason instead of fixing whatever was wrong.

On the schematic: Follow the white wire from the kill switch. Does it go down to that #4 terminal? Follow the white wire from coil (the one not going to the ignition). Does it also go to the #4 terminal? Are there any other white wires on that terminal block?

On the bike: Put your volt meter on that #4 terminal and check it with the ignition on and with the kill switch on, and then off.

We may have found the issue then. Trace out the schematic like I suggested above to make sure, and check for voltage at #4. It might be just as simple as moving the white wire from #3 to #4.

I can't reallt make out that schematic...But Makes no Diff.

The problem is the white wire plugged in where the orange wire is!
Do the turn signals work??
Orange is Hot from Keyswitch, controlling Turnsignals [among other things].
The White wire originates at the handlebar switch...specifically the [grey I think] wire is hot from Keyswitch to Kill Switch, white comes out of killswitch to Starter button, and to the Coil.

Left #4 and top right on#3 can they be unplugged and connected? Because that empty #4 hole has broken piece inside that I may not be able to get out?

It will probably not hurt anything to try.

Is the #4 terminal power switched by the kill switch? Y/N? If Y, then the broken connection there is probably why the DPO moved it to the wrong terminal. As I said, "Problem being that they probably Aggie-rigged it for some reason instead of fixing whatever was wrong. "
