    What are these wires for?

    I am finding some non-standard wiring on my 83 750E. These wires are branching off of the main harness and are just capped off with shrink tubing. Any idea what they are for? They don't go to the R/R, as that is connected.



    I found this too. It looks like someone tapped into this blue wire, and then decided to cut it and tape the end.

      Well, they look like stator wires. I do have stator wires running from the starter cavity to the R/R as they should be. These wires are coming out of the main harness under the tank.

        Yes, they do look like stator wires. Maybe someone cut the originals and wired the new stator directly to the R/R?

        The blue wire puzzles me. There are very few blue wires on the bike, let alone LIGHT blue and with a white stripe.
        The only light blue wire (no stripe) that I know of is the control wire from the Turn Signal Flasher to the switch on the left handlebar.

          The 16v EF I had had the same strange wiring for the stator where it went into the harness before it made it's way to the RR. Sounds like you've had that bypassed (good move).

          No idea on the blue wire.
          Current:
          Z1300A5 Locomotive (swapped my Intruder for it), GS450 Cafe Project (might never finish it....), XT500 Commuter (I know - it's a Yamaha )

          Past:
          VL1500 Intruder (swapped for Z1300), ZX9R Streetfighter (lets face it - too fast....), 1984 GSX750EF, 1984 GSX1100EF (AKA GS1150)
          And a bunch of other crap Yamahas....
