Hi there,
Has anyone got an LC loom to hand to check something out?
I seem to have a spare black earth wire up by the coil end. It has no terminal on the end which makes me suspicious it’s been snipped off?
Can’t see any terminals with the connector missing a wire though?
Jon

I think it has a ring terminal on the end and bolts to frame
If ypvs motor I think it has an extra earth from stator ?

Check it with a meter to see if it is another earth.

It will be an earth either for the frame or the engine.

Does the wire go forwards or backwards?

Does the wire go forwards or backwards? Forwards. I’ve got another question also please. The connector for the indicator is 3 pin, with one of the wires being yellow with a green tracer to a bullet terminal about 5cm from the connector. This plugs into a matching colour wire which heads off for the cancelling unit. However there is also an earth wire in black beside the bullet terminal. It looks to me to as if in some circumstances the yellow/green wire can be plugged into earth? Maybe a model without the indicator cancelling circuit. It’s a dotted line on some wiring diagrams. I’m thinking of not bothering wiring in the indicator cancelling circuit as 1) I never use it. 2) the reed switch in the speedo is usually broken 3) it strips down the wiring loom. Jon |

youre right Jon, its for running without the canceller and is standard to be unconnected.

From memory the most likely was something fitted on non euro bikes as an earth. Jon |

I don't have indicators on my LC . The law here is , you don't have to have 'em , but if you do they have to work .
