Hi All,
I recently bought a XL 600 LM, it's in resonably nick and I have everything for it, however the guy I bought it off had a go at rewiring it and has totally butchered it, I've been able to get a new wiring loom for it, but am having problems in working out the ignition switch. It currently has 3 wires coming out of it, none of which match up with what my wiring diagram say they should be, Was wondering if any of you have any experience of re wiring an xl and if so if you could point me in the right direction.
Please help because I can't wait to ride it.
Thanks
Dave

Sorry buddy i tore the ignition off mine then stripped all wiring out and even stuck some randem wires into holes,
And then the guru put it all back together better than new.
He hangs around here now and again you know

Dave - just realised you're not a subscribed member - might be worth doing as it's a tenner well spent for all the help, advice, and general madness you'll find on here.

Also - you'll then be able to PM me your number so that we can sort out your wiring - it can't be anywhere near as much grief as I had with Mel's LM - when he says he cut it all off - he wasn't joking

It's all the phillandering sparky's fault.

Well at least he's not philandering around your LM any more







By the way - can I take up your kind offer of advertising in your sig line.......?

Thanks for your quick responce. Yeah think I will subscribe it looks like a cracking site. In the mean time Storm force have you got any photos you could post for me to have a look at as that would be very useful for me.
Thanks again
Dave

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
