I will have a closer look later and see if they match up with any of the stray connectors.

Thanks Patton. As a newbie I hadnt yet seen what is in the filebase. Had a quick look at the wiring diagram before heading to work but needs a bit more studying to see if it will identify them. Am I right in saying that the U.S. model didnt have a pass light switch on the l/h switch?
Mine is a U.S. model imported to U.K. but presumably at some point had U.K. switchgear fitted as it has a pass light switch.

That's correct.
Wiring diagrams for the US, Canada models don't show a "passing switch."
Wiring diagram for the European model does show a "passing switch." (With further information about the "passing switch" detailed in the box at the bottom of the wiring diagram entitled "Left Handlebar Switch Connections.")
Good Fortune!

Just curious, at the handlebar control is ON-PO-OFF a headlight switch of some sort?

Yes. The earlier KZ650 models, such as my 1977 KZ650-C1, used that control to switch the headlight on or off. On mine, and I believe all US models, the "PO" lettering was painted black rather than white like the "ON" and "OFF" lettering and the "PO" position had no function. I may be wrong, but I think the "PO" position was for a European function such as a low wattage parking light. Ed

Yes its a European light switch which has a 5w bulb used as a marker light although in essence everybody has the headlight on full day or night time for the car drivers that struggle to see bikes.
