Starter selonoid wiring problem..help please :(

Hi a little help please.. My XJ650 SPECIAL (japan market) been with me for many years.. A few months ago a had starter relay problem and went to a nearby electrician the original selonoid was toast... Having hard time looking for a original parts we used the ordinary relay (bosch) and did work for a few months now i have a new original relay but i can not remember the exact wiring and color coding of the wires.. Do i have a big chance of damaging other parts like TCI or regulator? If i put it in the wrong way? I mean the selonoid... I can't find the red/white & blue/white wires that goes to the relay (selonoid)... Please help

 

Amiel, you have come to the right place for an answer - welcome aboard!

Unfortunatly electricity is not something I know much about.
There are others here that will get you up and running in no time.

 

Look at your existing solenoid. There will be a pair of small diameter wires and a pair of large diameter wires. You'll see the same on the new solenoid; a pair of small diameter wires and two large posts. Just swap the wires by size. The two small wires are the low current trigger wires from the starter button that trip the solenoid. The two larger wires are the two halves of the starter positive lead that are switched on when the solenoid is triggered. If the relay does not click when you press the starter button, just reverse the two small wires (though polarity should not matter in this case).

 

thank you sir.. just finish wiring it tonight, had to do it twice, first time i forgot to connect a red positive wire leading to the main loom.. everything was DEAD for moment i thought i fried something expensive : the i did a double check found the missing positive, now everything is back. thank you k.moe
