Hi,
New user here, been reading for a month and decided to ask for help. Just got a pretty beaten up barn find, I believe it is a 1973 TX. Bike needs lots of love and I started to tear it appart a few days ago. Found some major electrical issues...
Kill switch is not working at all, found that wires have been cut off under the tank. Ignition switch is working but is not stopping the engine. It only shuts lights, horn and flashers.
I read the wiring diagram a few times and pointed some issues around the starter relay.
see bottom picture...
1. I have my positive coming from battery wired to the right pole of the relay. The question is, I dont have an electric starter... do I really need that relay?
2 and 3. I found that those two relay wires have been cut off, can someone tell me the function of these? and how should I wire them back?
4. This wire is coming out of the main harness, it has a red plastic cover and a round female connector I believe. Any ideas of what it is?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
