Horn circuit kz1000 J3 83

So I have two functioning horns and a button doing Nothing. My wiring is slightly modified just as bike but all Basic functions and wiring/color cables the same.

Is there a relay involved? What type of circuit do the horns run on, plus/minus on/off or current on and earth added? I have some kind of unconnected relay behind the battery with three pins.

When I bridge the button contact Nothing happens so have to start measuring...

The horn button completes the ground to the horn. Power comes from the brown wire.

Great thanks Steve then it´s just good ole measuring time!

I added a second horn (LOUD) with a relay to my KZ650-C1 while keeping the original horn and the original wiring. Below is the diagram I made to document the change, it may be helpful. Ed

Cool so now you have a three part harmony! I'm thinking of switching to something more powerful too. My originals have 12V
and sound a bit when grounded but its not much so some more Dbs is definitely on the table...

I have duel horns I got at HF. The relay is powered by the horn circuit and the horns get their power from the harness. Ground from the frame.

The horn I added is a FIAMM 72112 Freeway Blaster Horn (Low Tone - F). It's tucked up near the steering stem, so it is not visible with the fuel tank in place. Below is a comparison of the stock horn vs. both horns. Ed

I'm happy with these.

Steve, holy cow, that's loud! Maybe I should get one like the one in the video below. :woohoo: Ed

:lol: :lol: :lol: I think he'll have to wipe.

Stock charging system, stock battery?

YUP. The relay takes the power directly from the battery for the horns. Not bad for less than $10.
