Topic: Easiest Way To Access the Wire Harness

[sh1bby69]

I need to go through the entire harness to make sure all the wires are intact and to figure out why the signals aren't working. Also I have to go through it to figure out why the rear brake light doesn't trigger when i hit the brake.

test your switches and fuses before you unwrap the loom,does it look melted anywhere?

Most of the connections are inside the headlight bucket. Download the wiring diagram, (find one in color) and take your time. I printed a diagram and glued it to cardboard so I could hang it in easy view.

Patience works wonders,
Work your way through every connector on the bike, pull it appart, clean both ends, reconnect, do the next one.
It's well worth a day doing this on such old bikes, even connectors that look good have often built up a
insulating coating internally.
