I really dont like the stock one, and cant ever seem to get the wiring right on it. The book tells me its supposed to be red,grey,brown,and orange. I have two oranges,red,and brown.
- Orange is switched power (output of the switch)( note: orange is switched power everywhere on the bike, but some wires have a extra stripe on them)
- red is unswitched power. I forget if it comes from the battery or from the fuse block. Don't have schematic in from of me.
- brown goes to the rear running light. It's at the key switch for the "Park" setting which I was told is an European requirement. Haveing the park setting, not the brown wire at the switch....
Never saw a free FSM to download. But you can get them on ebay used. If doing work inside the engine, the FSM seemed slightly better.
