KZ 1000 Right side switch wiring issue was created by Larz77
Hi KZ Forum,
I am replacing the right side handlebar switch on my 1977 KZ 1000 A. I purchased a new switch from Z1 but unfortunately they were out of the direct replacement so I bought the 900 switch which is very similar. I have the headlight and speedo/tach off at the moment.
The battery is new and fully charged; if I short across the solenoid the engine turns over with no issue. It looks per the wiring diagram that if I plug in the black (ground) and the yellow/red bullets under the tank and press the start button the circuit should be closed and the engine should turn over - it does not.
I have shorted the clutch lockout to test but still no power to the solenoid. So, maybe I am not reading the diagram correctly and something else needs to be connected to close the loop and send power the solenoid.
Help with the wiring diagram would appreciated.
Thank you
