350F right hand switch wires color
« on: April 04, 2024, 06:32:44 AM »
I have a 350F mfg in 1972 and titled in 1973. The right hand switch has the following colored wires coming from it:1  yellow red to the starter button, 1 brown most likely to the tail light, 1 black 12V+, 2 blue wires and 2 white wires. In testing the switch it appears the two white wires go to the kill switch. Continuity when kill switch is in on, infinite if to either side.  Has anyone seen this wiring configuration? I want to ensure I connect everything correctly as I am rewiring most of the bike. Thank you.

Do you have a manual with a wiring diagram? According to the diagram, white is for the headlight.

But more simply, if it's a stock switch and you've got a stock wiring harness, all of the wires from the handlebar switch will plug into wires of the corresponding color(s) in the headlight bucket.

Welcome to the forum 350fmainmark
Are you sure the kill switch is white wires? Normally the kill switch has black with white stripe wire. Do you have pictures of the switch on the bar? Are you sure that it's an original switch?
