Sorry, I don't really have time to go through all of the gauges etc. If you're keeping all of that, then a stock wiring diagram will be more useful anyway.

I don't know what year your gpz motor is, but here is a generic diagram to show ignition and charging to get it running, and a generic setup for some lights and basic idiot lights. All the rest of the gauge lights etc can be wired into the area to the right.

This is for Dulcimerbob.

You can probably go off this diagram I made for Cherrymetal's GPZ750. Your 84 GPZ550 should be very similar. Also, yes, you can just use individual spade connectors on the reg/rec. I often do. I like it because it's less bulky and I can hide the wiring better that way. But definitely get a good ratcheting crimper, otherwise you will waste your time.

Here's a decent one:

Can't seem to find this one for some reason.
I suggest using the one for Zeffrides. It is on page 19 of the Mattylight thread.
post number 703075. 14 Dec. 2015.

If I find the original drawing I'll post it here.

Hi to all. I finally got around to wiring the engine using the diagram from Loudhvox. It started the first time, again, thanks Loudhvox.

I do have another question. When I put the meter across the battery posts with the engine running It was reading almost 17 volts. That seems too much. Could the regulator be bad? Thanks again.

I am reposting this here from Snerff's troubleshooting thread just to keep the diagrams all in one place.

1977 1978 KZ1000 , bare bones, with aftermarket REG/REC from Z1 Enterprises and a Dyna S



EDIT 1/6/2019
Reposting this same image from earlier.
The preliminary diagrams for Snerff are gone. This is the final, and only one.

I don't like to trust the frame for any grounding purposes. I tie the ground wires to a convenient point on the frame to ground the frame, but that doesn't mean the frame is a good source of ground. I just run the ground wires to a single bolt using several lugs stacked on each other.

You should be able to use Snerff's diagram and adapt WG relay mod to it. His site will have the details for the relay mod. With new wires, connectors and a new ignition switch, the relay mod shouldn't really be necessary for a couple decades.

What solenoid are you using, and what are the wire colors? Do you have a diagram of the solenoid?
The KZ solenoid's coil wires can be reversed and still work.
