Wiring problems
« on: July 19, 2011, 12:32:59 PM »
Hmm I really can't get my blinkers to work.

According to the wiring diagram for my model, there should be 3 connections to the blinkers, orange or blue, ground (green) and a blue/ white and orange/ white.

But how to connect the blue/ white and orange/ white to the blinkers?

I have 2 K2 models, but they don't have the blue/ white or orange/ white wires.

Do I use the wrong blinkers? They are the same as the ones I disconnected.

Anyone has a good hint?

I have uploadet a picture of the diagram..

Mine has a strange setup in which it uses some black wires in the blinker system. I assume its factory.

The green wire is the one attached to the nuts in the headlight bucket. The front blinker bodies are grounded to the fork ears.

The front blinkers have two wires, one for each filament.  You'll have to guess at which is for which filament.

My K5 front blinkers also have two black wires and I've seen others that have black and red wires.

The striped wires are running lights for the front blinkers. They need a two filament bulb to use them. They can be disconnected and left alone if you wish.
