argentum40 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Ok i hope you lads can point me in the right direction... Just bought a 1978 Yamaha RS 125 and with the exception of the engine riunning and the horn the other electrics are dead... no lights, brake lights or indicators, neutral light etc...Now i can find my way around wiring fairly well but alot of the wirses have been replaced with ones of a different colour so th emanual is fairly useless...Has anyone an idea where to start as i believe the majority of the wire connections on these bikes are in the headlight bowl but not sure.. any ideas gratefully recieved Quote
megawatt Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Buy yerself a multimeter and a lamp and battery on a wire, ie connect the wires and the lamp lights. Start from the battery/fusebox and work your way around. Buy a pack of coloured tapes and add tapes to wrong colour wires to match right colour wires. ie red and green bits of tape to match red/green wire. Give it a go and repost when you have more probs.

megawatt Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Every single bulb popping would be fairly unusual Quote
