OK just had another clearer look at the diagram I posted for you. The Wire that is the Red/ white with bullet, should got to a connector, to the fuse panel. At the Main fuse, where here it turns white and runs up to the Ignition switch.
Here is the section of the wiring diagram.



The wiring diagram I posted, can you view that very well? If not, Drag it to the desk top of your computer, and then go to that copy and open it with a picture viewing editing program. If you don't have one Picassa From Google is free to down load.

That is the Pick-up coil, that connects to the Ignitior box. It looks normal in your somewhat fuzzy picture. But your Book will have a test for it. You measure the amount of resistance with an OHM meter. A hand held test meter, Volts, OHM's, etc. Called a DVOM, Digital Volt OHM Meter.
But if it Started and ran, I wouldn't suspect an Issue with the Pick-up coil. It would not start, or act up when hot, if it had problems.

Your bike, if it is like the West GErman bike, has an ignition interlock system. This kills the ignition if the kickstand is down and you are in gear. The system controls the ignition through the pink wire on the ignition module. To bypass the interlock, I'm pretty sure you can just ground the pink wire on the igniter. That means connect the pink wire to the black/yellow wire on the igniter.

The interlock system has been known to get flakey and cause erratic ignition.

You may also want to bypass the starter interlock as I have it drawn on the bare bones diagram.

I don't see a yellow/black wire on the diagram (thanks to Biquetoast for posting it, and MotorHead for finding it). At least I haven't found it yet.

I will post another diagram for you in the mattylight thread including the pink wire on the igniter.

And yes, (from PM) you can use the HEI igniter mod. According to Kawasaki.com, you have the mechanical advancer. The details for the HEI mod for twins are in the link on my signature. It's down at the bottom of the page. If you use that mod, you will just be eliminating the pink wire.

The battery should be between 12.6 - 12.8 Volts DC after resting several hours (no trying to start or charging). If the battery is low - charge with a powersport rated intelligent maintenence charger that wont go over 2amp, anything higher will fry the battery.

The charging system on the old bikes just maintain the battery while running, and dont really charge it till the rpms are up some around full advance like 3500rpm+, while cruising just maintains.

If after the battery is fully charged and has sat for a while, it should read good 12.6+. If it reads 12V - its only going to put out about 2/3rd power under heavy load (most cases) - getting old battery. If it reads 11 anything is almost shot and should be replaced.

Make sure batt is filled correctly to full line on each cell only with distilled water for top up.

Goodluck!
