1979 KZ400H LTD *COLOR* Wiring Diagram??

Is there a color copy of the 1979 KZ400H LTD wiring diagram in here anywhere...? I have a black/white one, but on the bike there is a mystery Yellow/Red female connector up by the neck that I have (A) No idea where it goes/connects to, and (b) no continuity through any of the other Ylo/Rd wires from that connector...a color diagram would be a big help!

I deleted that [IMG] XXXX[/img] file you tried to upload. Have you tried to just load it as an attachment?

Red with a yellow stripe near the headlight bucket may be your low beam headlight wire.
Female connector wire goes to the headlight.
Male connector wire goes to the hi/lo switch.

Yellow with a red stripe is your coil positive voltage wire coming from the kill switch on your handlebar.
Female wire connector goes to kill switch.
Male goes to coil positive terminal.

You may have loose and extra wiring due to the electrical short repair before you bought the bike.

Thanks KZQ; I'll try again...

F64: Yeah, I figured that's what it was; it's the only other red/yellow lead up there...but Thanks though!  

And everybody else - or whoever needs it - I found a color wiring schematic for the 1979 KZ400H in the back of the official KZ400H manual, so I'm posting it here. 

When I'm working on a bike I usually take the wiring schematic jpeg or PDF to Staples and have it blown up to 17x22, or whatever it is; costs about a buck and a half - then I glue that onto some foamcore poster board and trim to size. It makes it a lot easier to see where everything goes. 

Just thought I'd share.

Thanks Dave; I was just trying to put up something downloadable for anyone who has one of these rather rare models. 

I just added the file to the File Base, so it will be easier to find in the future. However, I neglected to include the model designation in the file name, so maybe a moderator can fix my oversight.

Bill will have to do it

This is my Z1 wiring diagram on the wall of my shop.  It's about 3 ft by 5 ft.  Easy to see from my lift.

Wow you keep a "tidy ship" there HRM - nice shop

Yeah he does!
I think I caught flatsurfacitis(the inability to leave a flat surface uncovered) from my wife.

Your shop really does look nice! I'm going to assume that is the only acceptable angle for photography and all of the mess is just out of shot.

I like the roller/hoist device on the RSJ - that looks handy. I'm tinkering with a design for a hoist frame that is self-supporting but uses the floor joist above for lateral support (i.e. to stop it tipping over). It's impractical to leave it in place all the time but it would be nice to set it up for the rare occasion I need to pull/install an engine or something.
