Does anyone have a picture of electrical installation on the motorcycle? I'm new at oldschool bikes (I repair only 2000+ bikes.) I need photos of everything about wiring

You need to pick up a manual, Clymer even will give you the electrical layout, as much as I hate them . Yes they make them I have one of each.
I just buy a manual for every bike I own so all info I need is right there.

This link definitely worked today - http://togs.biz/josip/manuali/yamaha...T600Manual.pdf. It might not cover your exact model but there are a large number of common items between models and ity is certainly better than nothing. I use it for working on my 2001 4PT and it is fine for the majority of tasks.

In a PM it was cleared up as to what he's looking for, It's the rear brake light switch down above the foot pedal. In the parts list they list it as a stop switch assembly, one of those weird descriptions.

Here a pic ,

Hi, can you tell me how to ''brick'' the lock? No, the bike is NOT stolen, it's mine, don't worry, but I'm just not sure if the lock works.

OK, CDI's good, Ignition coil's good, pickup coil has 220 Ohm (normal is between 184-276 Ohm at 20*C), so, wiring must be broken up somewhere. This motorcycle has **** me up so good that I'm good with sex for another three years.

Do you mind posting what you found that fixed your bike. Many others follow and could learn from your repair.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
