Having trouble wiring

[showtime]

Hi everyone. I'm working my first chopper build on a '81 XS650. I have a XSCharge PMA and advance system installed as well as the capacitor battery delete and I'm working on the wiring. I haven't seen much on a battery delete wiring setup here but I did find one photo of a wiring guide I'm working off of.

What I'm confused about is the wire from the fuse block to the coil (killswitch I'm not confused about). How am I to connect that? This is my first from scratch wiring job.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

There are two low voltage terminals on the ignition coil. one gets the red from the "kill switch +12 and the ignition module. the other connects to the green wire from the ignition module. The module opens the coil ground connection at the right time to create the spark you need to go vroom vroom.

Ok so the same connection on the coil that has the red lead from the advance is also the connection from the fuse box? Like I put those two in line with each other onto the same pole on the coil?

For your typical dual output coil, polarity doesn't matter. One terminal to power, the other to your ignition.

Show us the diagram that came with your ignition.

I was just looking for it and found it again on mikesxs that showed it with the same connection another lead like Gary was saying. Thanks guys!

yes what is going on is that +12 from the kill switch is also feeding power to the ignition module to run it's electronics so it can time the ground to the coil.

Thank you. I'm going to work on this. Hopefully get the bike up and running soon.

You might care to note that in my opinion, the 20 amp fuse is in the wrong place. Being next to the capacitor, it leaves the ignition switch unprotected for faults. On a stock XS650 the 20 amp fuse protects the ignition switch. I would move the 20 amp fuse so it's between the regulator output and the T off to the ignition switch. Then it still protects the capacitor, but it also protects the ignition switch too. Choice is yours.

I would add a dedicated ground wire, tying all the components together, including a branch going to a crankcase or head bolt. That head light will work a lot better if it's not trying to find ground thru the steering bearings or the clutch cable.

Yamaha placed the 20amp fuse in the same place from 70-83 on the red wire from battery to fuse then after the fuse to rectifier or reg/rect, (80-84) with no fuse between the rectifier and switch???
