Extra wires in wiring harness
26 Jun 2016 15:38
Bought a new main wiring harness for my kz900 ltd everything hooked up right except I have three wires with no home. A red an orange and a brown. They are towards the tail end of the harness inbetween the tail for the hazard relay( a brown and Orange wire) and the coil and brake sensor wires

I'm thinking maybe they are an extra hazard relay wire connection. I've seen some of the relays have 3 connections rather than just two?

I think they are for a heat sync for the hazards. Saw one on eBay but can't find it in the book. The KZ 900 had one under the side cover. I cannibalized the loom to make up one for my Z1.

I've got some of those hanging around. I think one of them at least goes to to the RR. But if the bike runs as it should who cares

Kawasaki Z750P7 Spectre, Triumph Daytona 955i, Honda CBR1000FN

Brown is likely a "hot" wire when the ignition switch is turned ON.
And the unused brown wire may be used for an accessory item.
For example, the brown could be used to supply power to a Dyna-S electronic ignition (as opposed to splicing the red Dyna-S wire into some other harness wire such as the red or red/yellow wire that supplies power to the ignition coils.)
Good Fortune!
