It doesnt matter which way round the big cables go but it does matter which one the small red goes to which is the one from battery

Yes, the yellow/red and black wire is "pointing" towards the airbox if that makes sense.

Hopefully a replacement relay will solve everything.

I did have to replace the coils since they where faulty to.

Is it  just random that both coils and starter relay malfunctioned at the same time? Voltage regulator?

The reason the bike went dark, yes.🥴 How embarrassing.

I will argue with anyone that the issue with the turn signals and oil lamp was way more complicated. And i fixed it by my selfe.🤪

Thank you for the tip.👍

Just seemed natural that thats where the wire should be due to the shape of the wire and layout. Even took a picture of it, but after i loosend the terminals with the red wire right above the left terminal. It simply moved over by it selfe. Oh well. Im just glad it was a easy fix.

Thank you for all the help.

Replaced the coils and fitted new NGK plug caps. Everything looks ok and i got a nice strong spark. Turn signals and oil lamp is now working.

Now its just the final assembly and the bike should be completed, fingers crossed.

Thank you all again.
