Hey yall,
So this is my first motorcycle, and I'm super stoked about it. I'm still trying to nail down what model it is, and from what I've read, I've so far figured that it's a DOHC. Can anyone give me anything more specific?
VIN: JYA12R00XCA005784
Only problem is, wiring is not my strong suit, and the wiring on this bike is incomprehensible to me. There are wires everywhere, and some of them go nowhere!
Everything seems to work so far, except no high beams (no clue where to start with that), but I'd rather not start cutting wires out until I'm sure they aren't necessary. It just seems like an awful lot of wires for a few lights and an ignition system, but I'm sure they were put there for a reason. I've searched the forums and read up on it, but I understand most of the wiring diagrams about as much as I do the situation on the bike right now.
I did however find this diagram a member posted in 2012, and It's actually readable and I can follow it. Question is, is it sound? If I follow this diagram, and cut out all the extra stuff, should everything work properly?
Thanks in advance for the help!
