Have been trying to sort out the wiring loom for this bike for years now. Made my own wiring loom off a diagram I got off the internet. Everything seems to work except that when the headlights are turned on the everything dies and the voltage drops. No clue why, when I swap the day and night wires coming out of the magneto, the issue goes away. Tested the day/night wires and the voltage coming out of them seems to be ok. Higher voltage for night, and lower voltage for day. Any ideas? Also the wiring from magneto seems to differ colour coding wise from the specified in wiring diagram. y/w (night about 7-8v on idle), y/r (day 6-7v on idle) and green (assuming a second earth as gives a lower voltage with other two wires campared to when tested with earth off engine and not neutral wire, that I have figured out) come out of magneto whereas in the wiring diagram there are only two wires coming from magneto, y/w and g/w and second earth running off cdi.
Seriously hitting my head against a brick wall here. If anyone has a spare magneto and or bits of wiring loom lying around, give me a yell, would be interested.
Any advice welcome!
