CB360 Wiring question

[Craizeehair]

I’ve started to connect things back up on my 360 and I thought that I had taken plenty of notes and pictures but I am a little stumped as I actually didn’t take enough.

In the wire cluster that sits by the fuel tank, I have one spare wire, there doesn’t seem to be anywhere for it to connect?

I also have two spare wires branching off the main harness near the front off the bike.

I’ve looked at what needs to go back on the bike and I can’t see what these wires would be for, could they be spares and not used? I find it strange that I didn’t get a picture or note it down somewhere but this is my first ever attempt and I have no experience so could easily have missed it, any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve had a good look at the pics that I did take and it does look as though the two wires from the harness could be unused, I can just see one poking through that could be it and it does look a bit weathered, as if it maybe wasn’t connected and covered?

Maybe I didn’t notice the one in the cluster if I started unplugging wires it could have gone unnoticed?

It’s a 1974 with front drum brake if that makes any difference.

Any thoughts???

This is just a guess but the two at the front could go to the switch on the clutch lever so it will start in gear if you pull the clutch, not sure about the single one that looks to be same colour.
Have you got a wiring diagram?

[Craizeehair]

I have the shop manual so I can have a look in there to confuse myself.

I think that light green / red is used for neutral switch / light on the CJ models so maybe that somehow?
I also seem to remember that there were one or two unused wires somewhere on the CJ loom but can't recall where.

Cheers,
Andy

Brake pressure switch?

[Craizeehair]

Thanks all, I will have to give it a good looking at over the weekend, along with a good dose of head scratching. I was hoping someone would say that they are surplus to requirement, not needed, unused and ignore them

Colour wiring diagrams online - red/green looks like the neutral indicator. Is the other red/white? Harder to spot but maybe the indicator /flasher unit.

[ozzybud]

red/green is the clutch lever switch.
light green /red is the neutral light wire

[Craizeehair]

red/green is the clutch lever switch.
light green /red is the neutral light wire

Thank you, I can’t see where to connect them but that’s now a problem for the weekend. I wasn’t ready for this to stump me but it has… well and truly!

The clutch switch was missing on my 400 but found one on ebay at sensible money - might be the same part?
Like this one might be yours is different though.

You know what Ted, that could make sense as there definitely wasn’t one when I dismantled the bike, has a brake switch that looks jut like that though.

Off to get the parts manual!

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

To fit them you just remove the lever & feed it in - it has a slot that slides into the lever bracket.

Mine fitted but I had to file the end pin down very slightly to get it to work properly.

The wiring colours were different but easy to see how it connected - only two wires!

[Craizeehair]

Just had a real quick look before we get ready to go out and it seems as though these early bikes might not have had a clutch switch.

There’s also a brown wire and a green and red wire both free and not connected in the headlight bucket and after a really quick look at the wiring diagram I think these may not be connected to anything either, could be pains over if I’m lucky???

Will have a few hours to muddle through something tomorrow, thanks for all the input, much appreciated.

Brown wire goes to the small bulb in headlight in uk which is not fitted in us, unfortunately it is a requirement to have an "obgliatory" light in uk and would fail mot if not there plus if you got a knowlegable plod( both words in one sentence) it could be an offence.
Depending on light size there are plenty of units out there.

Green and red may be neutral switch to idiot light wire

The 360 ones on eBay look quite different.
