OK....Found the wiring diagram in the tech section.
http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1294779818If you disconnected the harness and started jumping wires at the connector still on the frame.....this is what the wires do:
yellow wire is the headlight high beam
white wire is the headlight low beam
the black wire with the white stripe aqppears to be a ground that is run through the safety switch system (clutch, sidestand, kill switch, neutral)
It appears to me you should connect the large yellow wire to the orange wire to get power to the headlight, then connect the black whire with the white tracer to the headlight ground....the wiring diagram does not show that wire coming back throug the connector at the frame - so it may have gone from the handlebar control and then over to the headlight.
The wiring diagram indicates that a brown wire takes power from the switch back to the tail light and license plate light, and a black wire with a white tracer grounds it......and this ground is once again run through the saftey switch circuit. If neither of these is working.....it could be your safety switch circuit is not functioning. You should check and see if you are getting electricity to the tail light.....then check to see if you are getting a ground there as well.
I foun out that the orange wire was the right one, the grey wire in the connector is the rearlight! So I put those two together, now it's all working!
I'm from the Netherlands, it's an old bike an not required to have blinkers. Horn and highbeam are required but I just don't want them...
