COLORS OF THE WIRES - IGNITION COILS
21 Apr 2011 20:07
If anybody can send me the wiring diagram for the KZ550 LTD 1981 Bike that would be sweet.
I need to know...let's say you are sitting on the bike and looking down. On the left is 1 and 4,
on the right is 2 and 3
what colored wires go where???
left coil (from on top) then right coil
ok, the ign coils have "2" plug ins on the top and "1" nut washer type on the back of the coils
I have 6 wires:
1. green
2. yel/red
3. Black
4. Brown
5. an extra black
6. and a black and yellow
Where do they go? hmmm...

Ok, I messed up --- the left coil from seat position run 2 and 3 and the right ignition coil runs
1 and 4. Just for clarification to whomever reads this.
Also, I would like a colored wiring diagram if anyone could be so generous to upload
a pic to the blog.

Sitting on the bike, looking down at the engine head, the first spark plug on the left (gearshift) side is #1.
The next spark plug is #2.
The next spark plug is #3.
The last spark plug on the right (rear brake pedal) side is #4.
These are the cylinder numbers used for reference. 1-2-3-4 counting from the left.
These cylinder numbers are NOT the "firing" order, which is for example 1-2-4-3 on the large fours.
Good Fortune!

yel/red goes to both coils.
Black goes to the right coil for cylinders 1 and 4.
Green goes to the left coil for cylinders 2 and 3.
Left and right are swapped on the bigger bikes 900/1000/1100.

Way to spell it out for the "ri-tards" (hangover reference).

By the way, Hawk 111, those carbs in your avatar look to be missing the choke flaps. You may want to do a search on tk-22 choke flaps to see what others have been doing to remedy that. It makes it harder to start the bike when they are missing.
