Wiring issue
« on: September 13, 2008, 01:23:47 PM »
I've been working on wiring a basket case bike, CB750 K3. Problem is, when I hit the ignition switch, connecting black to black/white, I blow the main fuse. I can sit with the combination switch on without blowing the main. The bike has the Dyna S ignition, so I've followed the manual and connected the coil to the ignition (blue to blue, yellow to yellow... then connected blk/wht to blk/wht also splicing in the red wire from the ignition. I think this is good, but I still blow the main fuse.
Does it sound like I've got the electronic ignition wired up correct and if so, what could be causing this blown main fuse?
Thanks

Black & white plus black wires creates the "kill" switch on my bike.
Add the red to that and you create a direct short I think!

Sorry misread your post, you seem to have the wires right.
Careful if you are using the CLYMER manual as they have an error on their wiring diagrams where Br/W equals Brown/Black?
This is incorrect and it should read Brown/White!
