so this is the deal... i got a 98 savage 650, and i tore it all down and rebuilt the whole bike and repainted, shaped some stuff, new rims, tires, lots of lil mods etc. well when it came to wiring the bike i had wanted to make it much more simple as well as hide all the wires in the process, nothing on the handle bars but throttle and a brake.. the clutch and shifter are below (foot clutch and jockey shifter) ok so i removed and jumped/brifged all the parts i would not need and i plugged it all back in and it started up ok. at this time i took it apart again to do all the final lil touches and polishing, last minute painting, whatever stuff. i go to do the wiring this time and i get nothing at all!!! i try for hours to figure it out and no luck... so eventually i junked the harness and used a diagram i found on this site for a very basic wiring plan i set it all up to the drawing, when i started it she didnt run, i then junped a hot leg straight to the coil and she kicked right over and i thought i had it! well about 30seconds later it died and wouldnt start again from then... so my question is what do yall think happened? blown ignitor/cdi box? im wondering if i order a new one if someone has a very easy to understand wiring diagram to see, and i mean the most basic of basic, i want no clutch safety or sidestand b.s just start and go, headlight and tail nothing else. i have 2 toggles ready 1 for off and on and the other is a starter toggle, i dont wanna go back to a whole new harness at this point as im afraid the same thing will happen again, this is killing me as the bike is beautiful and as close to a show bike as it gets so please any help would be appreciated.... i would be willing to set it up with an aftermarket cdi box or anything thats gonna work, i just wanna ride her so bad!!! i can post pics of the bike if anyone wants to see it as well; i just figured this was the wrong section to show off a bike...

yeah im gonna give it one more try today, i just found a stock almost perfect condition 97 savage for 900 title in hand i may buy it and steal the harness and just try one part at a time to see whats bad on mine, then use the parts from it to finish my bike right away, after its done i could order a harness off ebay and if i have a bad part i could get that too, and do a quick chop and paint, sty;ing etc to the bought bike, to relist it on craigs for a lil bit of a prifit or atleast cover its own cost... i really wanna get the gold savage goin though its the best part of summer and im staring at a really shiny paperweight

very nice work dude !

thanks for the nice words, she is almost done, should be completely finished by tuesday, i have a 2nd savage on the chopping block as we speak, gonna be very different, 1 of a kind hardtail frame with 6inch rear stretch, 21inch rims front and back, lots of custom fab, tiny 1 gallon wassel tank low clip on bars, maybe a leaf or springer front end etc... i will update as soon as i get a lil further with it!
