Assistance req'd -1100 Sporti loom
05/20/12 at 14:37:00
 
Having removed the engine and gearbox of my machine to have a gearbox problem sorted I now have a wee problem remembering where to put the wires!
The attached pic shows the 2 ring terminals coming off the loom below the seat. The red one goes to the gearbox support casting which is retained by 4 bolts and the red ring terminated wire but er... um.. eh... where did the longer yellow marked one go er.. em.. doh..
Undecided

Sorry,  no Sporty in my garage, but what if you just isolate it and look what function is missing once you start her up (hopefully not the 'start up' itself Wink)

Thx Hubert
I believe it's an earth and long enough to go to the starter but there does seem to be a lot of them there already! Wish I'd marked them up or taken clearer pics in January when I started the destruct. The trouble is most people retain the air filter box which shrouds this area so it's difficult to see clearly. No rush as I'm still fettling and don't have time until next week when off work to continue the rebuild. Maybe have it back on the road end of next week with any luck.
Temperatures here in the east of "bonnie" Scotland are finally climbing after incessant cold damp easterly winds off the North Sea. There is still skiing available on the mountains - unusual for end of May here normally.

An earth should have two ends, so perhaps you could out measure this option. Or try to find a connected pin inside the ecu connector and look it up in a manual.
Over here the weather is way to warm and dry, the farmers are rather pissed than pleased. I'm onroad since the end of March so I at least can't say anything negative.

Are you a relative to the racer/manager Farqhuar, btw?

I'll have a look at my Sporti tomorrow (unless I forget) and see if I can find it. I do have the air box in place though.

With an ohm meter, see which pin on the ECU connector it goes to. That might give a clue.

Is  your 1100 sport a V11 or one of the earlier models?

Er no.. the name Mad Farquhar contains a bit of a play on the second word. In my neck of the woods there is a tendency to pronounce it as a bad word Cheesy. We also have a problem with the glottal stop.

Oh, I see Smiley So probably the real one always has a card at hand if he's asked to introduce himself.

Hey, isn't it simply the neutral switch from the gearbox? Pro: I can't see which would be that one otherwise. Con: it should not be a ring terminal afaik, but a spade female.

Wish it was that simple Raz - I have the two spade terminals - one for the starter and, the other for the neutral, identified. Beginning to piss me off (i.e. my stupidity). Hopefully tomorrow I'll probe it out, finished work for the week now and have some time to spare.

OK, so how about this theory: Both go to the gearbox mount. Here is a picture from 2006 (before I messed much with my bike). I can't see it IRL now without removing air box but on this picture there really seem to be two of them. This may make some sense depending on where they each go from there.

Hm, but yours seem awfully long. It's not one of the two that goes to the ECU cover? I think you can see them too on my picture.

I think raz is on the money. I had a look at my V11 but they are different set up to the pics Raz posted.
