Looks just like my bike before I dressed it up.
I paid $275 for mine, and sunk in another $1000, but I like it.
If you do a search you will find a link to a .pdf factory service manual with the full test procedure and wiring diagram. I down loaded it and its clear and easy to print the page you need. Chapter 5 page 33, once you down load it.

Speedo and odometer are electric, speed sensor on front wheel.
What kind of new fangled motorcycle has an electric speedo?:blush: Sorry about the bum cable advice, my bike is more mechanical/less electrical. Ed

free is good! this is great i can see this board being very useful. im ready to get my hands dirty and get this bike running nice. i have goals of getting it to stand up. i imagine this shouldnt be such an absurd goal?The only cables are the throttle and the clutch, and yes I would lube and adjust these pieces. The Manual has all of the procedures, and intervals, and free!!!!!!!!
