Hey everyone I have a 1981 Yamaha xs 400 special and in replacing some wires and I have a little problem... The flasher cancelling unit has 6 wires and every diagram I have looked at only shows 5... The FC (FLASHER CANCELLING) has W/G,W/R,Y/G,Y/R,,,BLACK,, and BROWN.. WHERE DOES THE RED WHITE...

Ok so am I supposed to have 12v on the orange or grey wire when I'm not turning it over??? Or should it only have power when turning over???

Thank you for the advise I'm going to do that because I can't see how I'm getting spark on one side and not the other I was told if the cdi is bad then I wouldn't get any spark so I'm going to go ahead and try what you said n I'll let u know how it's good.. Thank you very much for the advise

Everything checked out and still no spark on left side I'm getting very frustrated

I'm just wondering if it's ok to put my bike back together without the starter in and start it like that????

I'm from NH too but live in Florida

Ok first off does anyone know exactly what DIODE I need that that comes off of the there white wires to the relay ??? I got the three white wires that come from the motor and one branches off to go to I believe to be the headlight relay but but where it branches off it goes to a DIODE before the...

A low battery would make me lose spark on one side??? My battery is pretty low I'm not with my bike right now because it's raining like a siv out side.. Thank u so much for the help I know what I'm doing for the most part but electrical aggravates me lol

I did the continuity test and I have a good connection all the way to the ignitor unit... Would it be possible that my pickup is only half working because I pulled the cap off and there's two points that pick up?????

Simultaneously means the same woops

Yes I have a multi meter and I know how to run the tests..I appreciate that when I get home I'll see what happens... If the plugs don't fire simultaneously then the fire at the same time??? I'll get back to you after I check it out thank you very much for your help

Do both sides fire at the same time or simultaneously???

Ok is there more then one pick up?? And how do I check it how a light to it and kick it over??

No I have not done that I didn't want to puncture the brass floats could u walk through it for me please

Well I forgot to mention that the right side of the exhausted is always wet and the left side always dry.. Same with plug... If I grab that could write wire when it's running it zaps the shit out of me and it has plenty of spark on the plug nice and blue... My intake flames may be the problem...

No he definitely changed the gas tank because he had to cut the center of the frame so that the petcock would fit he welded the front of the tank to the frame but anyway where should I start test all my electrical?OR Do another cleaning of the carb I've already cleaned it several times?? I had...

Yes I think I understand....I'm not positive but the gas tank in the bike is not original, the tank that he put on is gravity fed (not sure what's supposed to be on it or if it matters??)) When you say start at the top with the screw between the carbs what exactly do u mean by that?? All the...
