Where do I find same. I have saved the diagram - but see no legend on it. I can start following the colored lines - but it would help to know what the line is called....this make any sense?
OK - I finally found where the blk/yel is identified as chassis - so I gotta study some more to find others ID'ed.
Just want(need) to learn all I can about my KLR. I've been an electronic tech since basic electronice at Scott AFB in 1953 and can get thru schematics pretty good - but wiring diagrams leave me guessing about whats going on. a box with wires in and out don't tell me whats going on IN the box. I'm starting to make sense of our diagram , though. Hopefully I can help answer questions in the future, instead of bothering someone else for answers....
I don't believe there is a rhyme or reason to the color code; the wires are just different colors so that you can trace from one end of the loom to the other. Each wire is unique unless there is a common function i.e. right turn signals have a white wire, left have a green wire, black and white is a common ground wire, etc.
That's what I was coming up with-just makes things harder to trace as we have to keep going back to verify what path we are on....Just gotta remember that electrons flow from - to + and against the arrow of a diode....
I use the color diagram from the FAQ by Big Cee. Here.
I did put it in an image editor and make it a US-only diagram; that's easier for me.
It includes not only colors, but the connections inside the switches (which not every diagram includes).
EDIT: the diagram, in several formats, is a few questions down from the start of the Electrical section.
