Wiring nightmare
« on: July 26, 2020, 11:31:22 AM »
Hello. When I got this 78 cb750k the wiring was all hacked up. Following along with the diagrams have helped but I have hit a road block. In the alternator area on the 7 wire plug I have a green with red stripe wire (which I believe is the neutral switch from the diagrams) but I also have a lone green with red stripe wire coming out of the case that I can’t find on the diagrams. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 The wire with the sheath covering your holding in the first pic should go directly to the neutral switch under the engine. Can you trace it and see ? It may have pulled or been removed from a plastic block connection.
  Pull the 2 screws and remove your sprocket cover for a better view where the wires go around there.

So upon further inspection, I pulled the sprocket cover plate and it looks like that lone wire just looks back into the harness and it is the wire that goes to the 7 wire plug. With that Im mine I assume that the lone wire is supposed to be connected to the neutral switch. Honestly I have no clue where that switch is located

 Go directly down from the sprocket area and look for the frame tube under it. Look under the engine around that frame tube a little more towards the front of the engine/shifter and look for a round insert held in by a meta tang and a 10mm bolt head hiding by the frame rail. There she be.
