Excess Impulse
XS400 Addict
With winter moving on and warmer temperatures arriving, I have started making a little progress on the bike again. I have removed everything and
(after this picture) ground down all tabs in the "triangle". I bought a hoop from dime city, and have some sheet steel for making a box to put the electronics in.
Now to put myself out there, I have a hard time understanding the wire diagrams, as I'm not sure what the electric symbol is to match the part I'm looking at, and I don't know them by name. So, I'm hoping for some help here to identify some parts.
What is this? It's mounted close to the back of the fuel tank.
Rectifier? The brown and green wires go to a plug that has nothing attached to it, wrapped in heat shrink. What are they for?
This one looks like it is supposed to mount on a tab somewhere, it's zip tied under fuel tank now. What is it?
I planned on using a small alarm battery, kick-start only. Can I downsize this wire?
Lastly, there are 2 sets of wires coming out of the engine, one has a plug with 3 white wires, one has a plug with yellow,blue,green,black. What do they go to? There are empty plugs close to the frame under fuel tank, one has 3 white wires, the other has green,white,brown,black with red stripe- do these plug into the ones from the engine?
The bike was running when I got it, and I don't remember unplugging these, so maybe they are not used? I know I sound completely helpless, I'm better at the mechanical than the electrical, so all help is greatly appreciated.
