KZ 900 WIRING HELP PLEASE

I need to know, in laymans terms, how to wire my starter and my engine, the coils and generator.

With the STARTER, the with wires coming from the engine
case on the left (if sitting on the bike) are a large gauge black wire. I assume to be the ground for the starter.
Then there is a cluster of wires that goes to the terminal block that has a blue plug, which contains 3 WHITE WIRES, 1 GREEN/RED WIRE AND 1 BLUE WIRE.
My question is which wire does what?
And what does each wire connect to?

My next question is which wires are which? With the generator, ie. points and condenser. There is a BLACK wire, a RED wire and a WHITE wire.

Where do these connect to?

And with the coils which wires go where? They have a YELLOW wire and a BLACK wire.
Where do these wires connect to?

I believe the starter is grounded through the engine, what your seeing is the Positive supply cable going to the starter from the starter solenoid and from it to the Positive(+) battery teminal.

Other members will along to help, I have a later bike and my wiring diagrams don't show your wiring.

There's a downloadable KZ900 wiring digram here on site.

In the green ribbon toward top of screen, go to Filebase under KZ Information, scroll down to 1976, and find KZ900 wiring diagram.

Here's the ignition coil and points wiring.

Good Fortune!

THANK YOU!!

Still stuck on these 3 wires coming from the points-condenser-generator. which is it anyway? I've got a red, a black, and a white wire which goes to where? yeah I'm electronically challenged. I've gotten all the lights working by myself though! WHOOO HOOO!

The ignition (points or Dyna S) are on the right side. The generator (aka alternator) is on the left.

If those wires are coming from the right side, it sounds like someone replaced your points ignition with a Dyna S ignition or some other ignition.

Others will have better details on that. Patton?

As mentioned by loudhvx, it will be helpful to know whether the original points ignition has been replaced with perhaps the popular Dyna-S electronic ignition which eliminates the points.

A points system or a Dyna-S system is supposed to be located underneath the "points cover" plate on right (foot brake) side of engine.

The points cover is held on by two screws.

Here's the cover on my KZ900 LTD.

In the following posts, we'll look underneath the cover.

Good Fortune!

Points ignition looks like this:

Dyna-S ignition looks like this:

Let us know which ignition is under the points cover so the wiring detail may best be shown.

It's possible that the ignition under the points cover might be something else besides points or Dyna-S.

Good Fortune!

Sounds as though you're doing this without a wiring diagram....

Maybe this will help....
