wiring diagram

[LuckyEddie]

Greetings,

Where can I get a wiring diagram for my 1980 XS1100LG?

Rephrase question:

I'd like a wiring diagram because I droped the motor back in after almost two years and have a couple of connectors left over and I'm scratching my head.
One is a dark green female bullit connector that comes off the solinoid end of the starter cable.
The other is a red/yellow male bullit connector coming out of the wiring harness above and to the rear of the tool box.
Any help here will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

if that R/Y is paired with a Tan/Y then I'd say it is for the hazard relay

if the green wire is tapped into the heavy black wire coming off the solenoid
then I would say dont use it.

It sounds to me that the R/Y gets plugged into the green from the starter solenoid. That's the 12V that is the bypass of the ballast resistor during start.

that seems to make sense George. I recently came across that green wire but I didnt use it. I must have an 81 harness that did not have the two R/W wires for the ballast so I used coils with 3 ohms across the primary. and I probably have an 80 solenoid with the green wire, and IIRC the wires to the TCI were missing those red wires that are shown in the schematics. so I am assuming that my clymer manual does not have the latest diagram of the 81 SH harness.
but it does show the R/Y wire from the TCI tying into the starter side of the solenoid.
I knew I wasnt the best source of information on this one.
Let us know how you make out Eddie

Time will tell...

Thanks Guy's for the input.
I too was leaning in the direction that they get pluged together, It just goes against my instincts to plug two wires together that are different colors.

I wonder......

I wonder if there is anyone out there with a 1980 XS1100LG that would be willing to have a look at their wiring and confirm plugging those dissimilar wires together??

definitely a red/yellow wire plugged into the green wire on my 79 special
and I did not wire this bike

Thanks

Steven,
Thanks very much for the pic confirming wire connection.
It is a good thing to have documentation of such a goofball connection.
