Guys
I'm putting the finishing touches to my K2 rebuild and I'm at the point of fitting the headlight, but I've run into a few snags with the wiring - mainly that I've got more spare unconnected wires than there seems to be space/need for. I'm getting my head round it slowly, but was wondering if anyone else has added one of the left hand mount plastic high beam switches to a K2, and if so, what changes needed to be made to the connections?
Coming out of the RHS switchgear, I've now got the following connectors:
Red/yellow - connect to starter circuit
Black - connect to cut out circuit
Black/white - connects to cut out circuit
Black - connects to lighting circuit
Brown/white - connects to instrument light circuit
Blue - high beam circuit
White - main beam circuit
Yellow?
White/Yellow?
All the diagrams I've seen say there should be 7/8 wires out of the RHS - can't quite understand why I've got 9. And for the life of me I can't figure out what the last two wires do.
From the high beam switch:
Brown with blue stripe
Black
I have a feeling I may need to undo a few of the existing connections and reroute them, but like I say, I'm struggling a bit. Any advice as to what needs to go where would be great. Oh BTW - I've tested all the other circuits and they work fine (brake lights, tail light, indicators, horn, neutral switch, oil pressure switch). I 'spose that's what's referred to as a good start . . .
And something else that has just occurred to me - the bike is a European spec K2, which means it has a sidelight (for want of a better word). The lights should, therefore, have four positions - off, sidelight, headlight and high beam. Unfortunately, I don't think this is going to be an easy job - with the K2 switchgear, there doesn't seem to be any way to have the main beam and full beam on at the same time - it's one or the other. Guess that's why occasionally everything used to go dark when switching between the two.
