Just went to move my 800 and I've got no juice when turning key on. The batt. is fine, circuit breakers fine.

I've removed the key switch, and I need to know what wires go where. There are 7:

BROWN, BLACK, YELLOW, (2) RED/BLACK, RED/WHITE, WHITE/RED

I have battery voltage on yellow. If this is the way it's supposed to be, then I have a bad switch. If any other wires are supposed to have battery voltage, then I need to troubleshoot that wire.

THANX for ANY help!!

 

Terminal:Color:Function
A:White/Red: Power from Ign Switch to Starter Solenoid (Start Wire)
B:Red/White: Starting Circuit Power source, comes from Splice inside Pod, hot when Ign is on
C:Red/Black(2): Ignition Power from Ign Switch to Run/Stop Switch D&E, Comes out Headlamp Connector D (red/white) to Splice inside Pod. All of the red and white wires at that splice are the main splice for Ignition Power.
D:Yellow: Power from Battery, connects to 20A Circuit Breaker
E: Black: Not Power Circuit Related
F: Brown: Not Power Circuit Related

 

If you have power on yellow, check the red/black wires at the Ign switch (C). if you have power there, check the same wires at the Run/Stop switch connection(D&E).
If you have it there, check terminal D red/white on the other left handlebar connector.

 

Try wiggling your kill switch. Sounds dumb but my 800 and a buddies have very sensitive kill switches and moving them around a bit seems to help. I hope it is that easy.

 

Thanx a million Bob!! Exactly what I was looking for!!

I'll get out there tomorrow and jump those wires and see if it's my ignition switch. I had to walk away. With no manual, I had no clue and was getting very heated!!

Bigdog, I wish it were that easy. I appreciate the suggestion though.

Take care,

Better yet,
take a look at this

 

make sure you let us know how it turns out

 

Your gonna love this!!!

Turns out, I'm a retard!!!!

Having ridden jap bikes my whole life, I didn't realize the off-on-off handlebar switch overrides the KEY switch!!! The friggin' thing was OFF!!

I always tell people to check the little things first, then I go and do the exact opposite!!!! Master tech Smitty!! That's what I get for doing anything besides drinking after a 12hr Friday shift!!!

Thanks for all the info, Bob. That wiring diagram is mint! Appreciate it! I gotta find one for my brain now LOL!!

 

So it looks like BIGDOG was right.....

lol
