    1982 GS1100G Ignitor standalone diagram proposal

    So here is something I worked on while waiting on parts for my apocalypse bike. It basically ignores the charging system and focuses solely on wiring the ignitor in a simple to view way. I'm open to any criticism or critiques on it. I eventually intend to add it all together into one cohesive diagram for the entire bike.

    Looks ok except for the wiring between fuse, battery, r/r and ign switch

      What is wrong with that section? What would you change?

          Just a comment: In the stock wiring; Ignition fuse is 10amp, and also supplys the starter button-solenoid circuit.

            Copy that, I'll drop it down.

              You are powering your coils from a pair of potentials (Switched +12V and ground) right?

              If you just remove what you think is providing that your schematic will be OK. If you want to provide that then follow the schematic I reposted.

                The factory powers the coils from the ignition switch, T'eed into the ignitor. The way I am reading the factory diagram, is it takes four inputs from the crank trigger, then a 12v and ground from the charging system, and outputs to the coils, 12v and ground.

                  Nothing is powered from the ignition switch except the fuse box.

                  The fusebox distributes through 10 amp fuses to all accessory circuits Signal, IGN, Headamp, ACC.

                  The path from battery ==> coils and ignitor are powered from O/W from the fuse box.

                  Battery to "T" to input side of IGN SW is RED
                  After Ignition switch it is Orange to fuse box
                  After Fusebox IGN is O/W.
