4 year old battery, I think it's time for a new one.

Id have to look at a wiring diagram, or pull my seat.
Maybe someone could post a diagram? Or a link?

I want to say its the second wire in from the front left of the timer. BUT, I have trouble remembering my birthday, so i wouldnt do that till I was sure.
You have a wiring diagram?

Yellow wire, green stripe, in the middle on the side with the retaining clip, where the harness connects to the decomp timer. Thats where the 12 V jumps to to make it crank over. Suggest you keep it in neutral, b/c it will crank the engine over, even if the key is off.
There is a single ed wire running under the seat. The tiniest switch you can find will handle the current. I used a micro-switch off the face of a dead DVD player. That switch would fit on my little fingernail. By leaving some circuitboard attached, I was able to tie wrap it up under the frame, by my right thigh. I used 2 fingers off of nitrile gloves to put the thing in before I tie wrapped it. Its been there for almost 3 years, still works fine. Sure would suck for it to short out tho,,, BIG time..


The diagram has the color codes. Its the letters/ y/g is yellow wire, green stripe. IF there is a g/y, that would be a green wire with a yellow stripe.

Where is the decomp timer and what does it look like? What is behind my airbox and rear fender? Pics sure help a dummy like me.
