I'm looking at the diagram in the Haynes manual (heard there are errors) for my 74 R90/6 & had a couple of questions about what I am looking at:
1. The wires are all marked with a number like 1.0 1.5 .75, 2.5, etc. What in the world do these designations mean?
2. The switch seems to have 5 positions, O,P,1,2,3. Is this OFF, Park, run with no lights, run with parking lights & run with all lights?
3. What is the parking light & where is it? It shows a "parking lamp", not sure what this is...
4. "dip, headlight flasher & horn switch" What is dip & what is a headlight flasher?
5. What is a "starter cutout switch"? Is that the side stand switch?
6. they show a symbol right in front of the turn signals, in the blue wires that almost look like diodes. What are they? It is an arrow & a rectangle box.
Thanks guys, I'm trying to understand this wiring before I take the front forks off to change them out for dual disks & later model switchgear.
To me, it looks like the wiring on a bike is fairly simple & the connectors all have corresponding numbers or letter designations, like "31", "56a & b", etc...
Thanks!
