TOPIC:

Howdy all! I just picked up a 81 or 82 KZ1000 that has been heavily customized. During the time that the Previous Owner (PO) was "customizing" the bike, it seemed that he spent all the time working on the bodywork and little to no time working on the wiring.

This bike has an electronic speedometer with an electronic sending unit. Regrettably, the PO simply cut all the wires at the speedometer and sending unit.

Can any of you shed some light on the wiring for the speedometer and sending unit and post a wire color code to function list. Mostly I am worried about the actual speedo function and think I've got the neutral, blinker, oil, and running lights working.

Many thanks!

Jeremy

UPDATE: I was able to work through most of the wiring and get the lights working on the speedometer. The only wire left is an orange and I think this is the feed for the speedo.

On the sending unit there are three wires (I don't remember the colors at the moment). Any ideas on the function of each wire?

thanks

Go to the KZ Information and hit the filebase and look for your model and year and it will have the wiring diagram in color it did for mine and its a 82 KZ1100 Spectre with a electronic speedo.

Thanks a ton. This is great.
