1980 750H bare bones for mattylight

Wow, awesome, I can finally draw diagrams wider than 500 pixels and they show up! Woohoo! (Do you know how hard it's been to make every drawing I post narrower than 500pxl?)

Everything to the left of the light/accessories switch is off the top of my head, so some colors may be wrong and there are several things missing, but it's just to give you an idea of how it would work electrically.

I drew the ignition switch as a simple on-off without the park option, but this allows for redundant contacts to reduce the chance of failure.

The 20-amp switch has to be a decent bakelight-and-metal toggle. Don't use cheap plastic switches, they tend to melt in the on position (a friend learned the hard way, he had to pull his main fuse to turn off his bike).

So I guess you need to decide if you really want to tackle a complete re-wire or just try to neaten things up, or just troubleshoot the charging system.

Hi to all. I could use some help on the bare bones wiring subject. I have a 1977 KZ1000 engine. I will be using it in a 2/3 scale WWll jeep. I need to do a bare bones wiring on it. It just needs to run and charge the battery. I am having a hard time finding someone locally to do that. Any help would be appreciated. I will post pictures on the build if I can ever get this engine running.
Thanks for your help, this is a great site.

Starter or no starter?
Here's both

really appreciate this, saves me a lot of headaches, thanks again.

Again thanks for the great diagram on the KZ1000. I do have one last question. The points were replaced by a Dayna s. How would that fit into the diagram in place of the points? I hate to sound dumb but I did get confused about the points wiring. The wires out of the engine cover are red black and white.Thanks again.

Are you sure it's red, black, and white?
The instructions for the Dyna S show red, black, and green.

Not so sure now, I will check again and let you know, Thanks. As always, thanks for the quick response, I will check later this morning.

I hope you do not get tired of this. I made a drawing of what comes out of the engine. 4 wires come out of the dayna s and go into a sleeve with 3 wires comming out of the other end. The only 3 yellow wires I can see come from the item on the right bottom of the page. I think I,m getting confused and thanks for putting up with me.

Here's some ID to what you have. If it's a Dyna S, you may need older or newer instructions. Some Dyna S models did come red, black, white. The one for the Suzuki GS shows white instead of green. Are you sure it's a Dyna S and not just part of a Dyna III ? How old is the Dyna? Did you purchase it yourself, or did it come with the motor?

Also, on the white/red wire from the engine, is it possible it's light green/red? That would make it the neutral switch wire.

I circled the wires which get tied together for the charging system. Each yellow from the rectifier goes to one black from the stator, and one of the colors from the regulator (pink, blue, yellow). It shouldn't matter which color goes to which yellow.

Here's a link to the Suzuki instructions:

Notice the black wire is shown firing the 2-3 coil. On a KZ, black usually fires the 1-4 coil. You may have to call Dyna to find out exactly what you have.

I added the neutral light and oil pressure light in case you want them. Also, are you planning to use the starter? If so, you'll need some sort of starter solenoid. You don't need a KZ solenoid, most generic starter solenoids will work.
