A wiring question
Posted: 03:24 pm Jun 11 2016
The bike I'm working on is an H series KDX 200.
A previous owner replaced the stock headlight with a UFO that has a dual filament 35 W bulb. In doing so, he made jury rig connections, snipping off the bullet connectors and twisting some wires together. I'm trying to upgrade this setup with proper connectors and a high-low dip switch.
I'm having a confusion about where some wires go. The wire harness that runs from just below the ignition coil up to the headlight area has 3 wires down by the coil; black, yellow, and red.
I know black is ground to the frame. Yellow is power coming from the magneto. Now, the red one is just one lead by the coil, but comes out of the harness in the headlight area as 2 leads. Both are red and they both have continuity with the end down by the coil.
Two questions:
1) What type of bullet connectors should these previously snipped off red leads have; male, female, or one of each?
2) Where should these red leads be connected to?
I have a copy of the stock wiring diagram, but am having a problem with orienting the diagram with what's actually on the bike. I've added in the dip switch to the wiring diagram, so that's no problem. I just don't see where and how those 2 red leads are supposed to be connected.
All help would be greatly appreciated.
