How in the name of all that is holy did you find that site.

I just know that you adore pink............

Sorry - didn't take any photos - but Mel's LM has had a custom front loom and dash installed so it probably wouldn't make much sense anyway.

What colour wires have you got from which terminals on your ignition barrel - if it's an original barrel you should have the following:

Ignition 2 - Black
Battery - Red
Earth - Green
Ignition 1 - Black / White

Thanks, thats great info, so it would look life it has been tampered with at some stage which I thought was the case. I've only got 3 wires coming out of it. I've got a red one, a blue one and a blue and orange (I did say it had been butchered) All of them are soldered on to the right hand side terminals with the red one being on the top right hand side and the other two are soldered to the the two terminals below. Does that make any sense to you? I'll try and post some photos on here if that possible so you can acutually see what is going on with it.

Thanks
Dave

Def sounds like someone's been changing the wires around, if it is still the right switch for the bike. My LM-f has a 4 wire system.
With the switch in the off pos the black/white and green wire should be closed curcuit, red and black open.
Switch on, the red and black should be closed curcuit, black/white and green open.
If you can find which should be red and black, it may be that the last wire is operating with the lock body as earth. (green).

p.s. my pic is a photocopy and crap.

How do I attach some photos on to here?

I'm fairly certain that you needed to be a subscribed member to avail yourself of the Picture Gallery and create yourself a personal photo album.

Go one, it's only a tenner.......




Or as Mrs Doyle from Father Ted would have it "Go on, go on, go on.".

Thanks for the help so far. It's very much appreciated.
Right then I've tested the ignition switch and it is not doing what you say it should be doing. When the key is in the off postion there is no power going through any combination of wire, and when the key is in the on position there is power going through every combination. So I'm more than a little confused.
Please help me my head is starting to hurt!!!!!

Could you just confrim something for me because this is slighlty contirdicting itself, on this you say that IG 1 and IG2 are both black/ white and on the attached wiring diagram it says that IG 1 is black/ white and IG 2 is Black. Was wondering if you could confirm which is correct. But thanks for the wiring diagram by the way it's so much better than the one I had.

My pic is the same as the one Stormforce8 posted yet my switch has IG2 as black only.
With the switch in the off position there won't/shouldn't be power on IG1 or E but they will be closed curcuit. (Joined). The switch shorts IG1 to earth to cut the engine.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible that my IG 1 and IG 2 wires have been joined together with the other two wires being the main power in and the other being the earth. However if this was the case would the earth still have power running through it when the bike was turned on?
As you may have guessed my bike electrics knowledge isn't that great.
Thanks again
