I´ll go and check it out right now, but mind you. The Haynes manual says I should check the yellow and red wire and black and blue wire but it has no red wire from the motor BUT it DOES have the red wire where the plastic contact is on the bike.. bb in 5
Those wire colors are for a KZ ignition.
As mentioned the ZX wires are different combinations of those colors.
My signature has many manuals with supplements that cover your bike. I recommend you download all of them (just in case) and look into the supplements for 84/85 specific info. Some of the general manuals skip over some of the specific details.

Yeah, those pages are from my KZ550 site. Mostly KZ stuff, but a little ZX stuff too.

If you suspect one side of the ignitor, try swapping the the two circuits. Move the wires from the ignitor to the coils, over to the other ignition coil. Then move the plug wires also. This will keep the pick ups the same but move the output side of the ignitor to the other Ignition coil.

I am posting this for someone with a gpz550.
I can't seem to login to reply to the topic below. Perhaps it's on a different server and we can't access it?
Anyway, if it's accessible, the diagrams I have posted have a minor error, and should be deleted if possible.
There are two postings of the gif image.
One is on page 1, and the second is on page 2.

Also, not sure how this ended up in the engine forum. Maybe that's the default?

I have attempted to insert the "unaccessible" topic into this thread.
Are the old posts editable?
I think -- but am not positive -- that the ability to edit one's post is currently set to be within 24 hours.
Is it the diagram in each of the following posts that needs to be deleted?
#608937
#609120
Good Fortune!

I can't edit the earlier posts, but you are correct on the post numbers that need images deleted.
Thanks a lot!

Would you prefer just deletion or replacement with the image posted in your #70730 (or perhaps replaced with some other image)?
Good Fortune!

probably deletion. That way if there is another correction, we won't have to chase multiple images.
Thanks
