Author Message   Northernyankee Posted on Monday, March 12, 2012 - 05:24 pm:        Ok, so I have almost everything back together from doing the Valve check/Cam replacement and I have no power. There are 2 wires that I can't figure out what they are for and I am guessing that these are my culprits. I am guessing by the color of the wires that one is a power wire for something and one is a ground. If anyone has any ideas of what they are for I would be forever indebted.

The long one will possibly make it to the ground if I stretch it. But the short one is not making it very far.   Northernyankee Posted on Monday, March 12, 2012 - 06:01 pm:        I grounded the black wire and extended the orange one to the battery with a longer wire and the bike powers up...now I just need to figure out where I really need to connect it.   Avalaugh Posted on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - 05:03 am:        I'll take a look at mine when I'm home, only picture I have at the moment doesn't show much.   Avalaugh Posted on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - 05:04 am:        Orange wire ??   Alex Posted on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - 07:39 am:        If Your orange cable is in reality red/yellow it goes to the starter solenoid (onto the pin that is connected to Battery +, not to the one that leads to the starter)   Northernyankee Posted on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 - 10:30 am:        Hey Alex, yeah its a red/yellow, I actually did connect it to the battery terminal on the solenoid. Thanks for the info now I know that I did make the right guess in where to connect it. Putting the subframe back on was a PITA, but now that I know exactly how everything routes it should be a lot easier next time.
