I Need Help With Electrical Issue
« on: July 11, 2017, 02:08:22 PM »
OK, I'm stumped...

There are two, what I think are ground wire connections (green wires) that I don't know where they go.
1. It comes out of the loom at the coils. It comes out of a connector with a yellow wire, runs about a foot down the left side to about the carbs and ends with a blade connector,
2. It comes out of the loom behind the left side cover, the wire is about 2 inches long and has a 90* blade connector

The only electrical problem that I know of is the rear turn signals. I think I have the mess figured out but until I can get a battery in the bike I'll not know for sure.
Can someone help me with where these wires connect? I've looked all over this thing and cant find any other wires that aren't connected.

Thanks Flybox. I'll look at the flasher to see which type it is.

The one from the coil area is an extra? OK, I'll just stash it somewhere out of the way.
