Since my last attempt was unsuccessful, I thought I'd ask again. I have a new ignition switch on the way for my KZ1100D-1 and I'm sorting out the wiring "bundles" stuffed in the headlight bucket. I have everything figured out except for 3 wires with dual female connectors on the ends. Black/yellow, yellow/black, and white/blue. I'm assuming the black/yellow is the ground for the front signals/running lights. But, what are the other 2 and how and what do they connect to. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated since wiring diagrams are like ancient hieroglyphics to me.

A Black with Yellow stripe is part of the grounding circuit. The other colored wire may be one of two thing's; 1. This harness may have been used in one or more other motorcycles and 2. It may be a aux circuit used for heated items like grips, or a vest. If possible, take a mutimeter, and with the engine running, see if the Yellow/Black and White/Blue circuits are "On" (that is, are they energized, with the engine running) and stopped. Check from the Black/Yellow circuit, as this is a known ground.

Set the multimeter for VDC (Volts, Direct Current), range of 20, put the BLACK probe in the Black/Yellow connector, and use the RED probe to check the other connectors for voltage.
