Had some time today to take a look and asses some things.
I jumped the wires on the reserve lighting unit.
I jumped the wires on the safety relay.
Confirmed that the double relay is still there.
Where I left it:
-rear lights still not wired. There are 3 wiress coming from the aftermarket light. Red, blue, black. Connected them to the orphan wires. Nothing. I tested the light with key turned as well as fully starting the bike. Nothing. Do I have to start the bike everytime to see if light works or will it go in with just key?
-left rear signal does not blink. The front leftblinker does nothing. The front blinker looks to have broken off. I am wondering if the wires in the headlight assembly came undone. For some reason I am not feeling the rear signals are wired right. The right rear has a red and 2 blacks (1 solid 1 striped) coming from it. The left has a green wire.
-My starter. So the button has disappeared but the spring is still intact. I pushed it in with a screwdriver and the beast almost came to life. I say almost because previously the button did absolutely nothing. It doesn't sound good though. When pressing it, there is a loud clicking coming from underneath. Sounds like something is not engaging. My electric starter isn't a priority now (I don't mind Kickstart) but will be something I will want to look at.
Right now I am going to search site for electrical diagrams to figure out my lights. With the units and relays removed, and the jumping already done, I want to find the colors of wires that correctly connect to the signals and rear light.
