Fancied a break front scrubbing carb bodies today so have made a start with the wiring on my US K6.
So here’s the short of the issue. The bike originally didn’t have a starter safety switch but the new harness has the block connector for it (aftermarket harness).
.
My bike has one of these ‘rectifier,silicon’ things down there instead:
Now on the original harness the wires for this little silicon rectifier went up and joined the blue/white and brown wires on the starter solenoid. The new harness has a yellow/red wire and a black wire available to connect to the solenoid, which I’ve done here:
These two wires end up in the unrequired starter safety switch block connector, so I can use those two tires for the silicon rectifier. However this leaves 3 other wires which I don’t know what do with. These 3 surplus wires go to the headlight bucket (I’ve not yet wires up the front end). If they’re unrequited can I just leave them unconnected?
Secondly I can’t see what connects into these green and white wires down by the alternator - will they have just slipped behind the alternator cover? I might have put some gasket sealer on that cover so don’t really want To take t back off so thought I would check first.
