Where are the front brake stop switch cables?
« on: January 24, 2021, 12:18:58 PM »
Can anyone tell me where I can find the cable connections for the stop switch for the front brake? In case other 750 variety's differ my stop switch is attached to three way joint. Is there a spur coming from the main wiring loom or does an extension come from the cluster of cables in the headlamp? Any assistance would be much appreciated.

It comes from the main loom at around the headstock area - Green Yellow and Black I think from memory (check on the wiring diagram in Aladins cave)

Yes you are right philward Green Yellow and Black for the stop switch. I cannot see a spur from the main wiring loom with these colours!

Has the loom been re-bound and its been taped into the main loom? You could pick up the green yellow from the rear brake switch and a switched live black (to save unwrapping the tape on the main loom)

I unwound the insulation tape from around the loom but couldn't find any stop switch cables. The original plastic wire/loom casing was in pretty good nick after cleaning off all the insulation tape gum so happy with that.

 I had a look through my spare cables and found these bad boys! The elusive cables for the stop switch. The cable colours are correct, green/yellow & black and have just enough length in them to reach to the headlamp cluster for connection. Problem solved.

If you've got just enough cable to reach the switch then make sure there's enough slack when the steering is on full lock without pulling out of the connectors.
