Would I be able to go battery less on a 78 750? With battery my bike usually takes about 3 or more kicks to start. And if possible would you be able to do this schematic bare bones for kick only? Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks I really appreciate it Loudvhx.

if i may sir. could i get a bare bones diagram for a 1982 honda cm 450. i want a toggle switch on/off instead of igniton. headlight bright only. tail light. and brake light. electric start only it doesnt have a kick start. if you could include what guage the wires need to be that would be awesome. when the toggle switch turns on lights go on and it can be started. toggle switch off kills the bike. not sure if thats possible but thats what i am ideally going for...thanks in advance dude...really a great service your doing here spreading the knowledge.

Sorry, I don't have any info on a cm450.

No problem sir. Thanks anyway. I have learned a lot just reading this thread.

Im looking for a bare bones wiring diagram,for a 83 kz550f1

For reference --- Here's the essential wiring needed for Kawasaki's electronic ignition, with a battery, to kick-start or bump-start the engine and keep the ignition firing until the battery discharges.

There's no charging system (i.e., no generator, rectifier or regulator), and no chassis wiring for lights, switches, etc.

Most likely a little too spartan for most street riders, but could be okay for an hour or so of daylight racing.





Good Fortune!

@loudhvx are you still making these diagrams?? If so, I really could use your help.

I have a 1981 GPZ1100B1 which was converted from FI to carb. Right now, my bike is in need of wiring magic. I saw this thread, and can not start to say what amazing work you've done to help everyone out.

With that being said.. I have a wiring nightmare that needs addressing. I would love to have the bike bare bones as possible, and need your expertise. The bike needs the following...

-Battery
-Headlight
-Tail light
-Signals
-Series of toggle switches to replace key'd ignition.
-Button start/kill
-Retain original charging system

The toggle switches will be hidden at my disclosure. The bike will not run gauges or require any safety lights (neutral, blinkers, oil..)

Can you help a fellow rider out?

i know is old though .need to know where /or when momentary start is wired in ..before after kill switch..then that runs to where..thanks is only place i keep getting stuck..also only thing you ever left out...i WE all owe you for the giant brain youve shared in these forums...three heros in restore of old bikes ;sonreir..tyrell..and you..loudhvx...thanks alot man

The momentary button for the starter can get power before, or after, the kill switch. One way will allow you to have the ignition off while cranking the motor. This is handy for doing compression tests etc. But sometimes people will forget the kill switch and sit there cranking trying to start it. For them, it would be better to get power after the kill switch, for the start button. The diagrams probably show some one way, and some the other way.

From the momentary button, the power goes to the starter solenoid. The solenoid has two small wires, usually one black, and one yellow or red. Either one can be used for power, then the other is ground. The factory often had the black as positive, and yellow/red as ground, but that does not seem intuitive, so sometimes some people swap them.

The small wires power the solenoid's coil, which then pulls in the main contacts which complete the battery cable circuit to the starter. The starter body is grounded to the engine.

Matty,

Thanks again for the wiring diagram. Had the bike running for a couple months last season, then put away for the winter. Had to come back to the thread and pull the diagram you made for me. Pulled it off the bike and labeling/fixing old connectors.
