    just like the titles says.....about to ask some stupid questions. My car got broken into a while back and my phone was stolen. I had all the pictures from my bikes tear down on there. So now I'm not completely positive where everything hooks back up. As of right now I need to know 2 things but in the coming days I may be using this thread to ask more and possibly stupider questions. Today I just need to know where the hook ups in the following 2 pictures go to. If you have pictures of yours it would greatly help but if not no big deal. Thanks in advance.

    In the first picture that heavy wire goes to the starter solenoid beside the battery. Not sure what you are asking in the second picture. These are not stupid questions we are here to help.

    Second pic is ground, one wire to the negative post on battery the other to a grounding point on the frame.

    Like this? If so....I'm guessing the other heavy wire is a ground?

    No that wire goes to the positive terminal on the battery.

    That's the [presence of] oil sensor. I don't recall how it routes through, but it eventually connects to the speedo/tach cluster. If'n there ain't no oil, that makes the little red light turn on.

    I'll check and see where mine is ran when I get home. I think it runs up between that engine cover and the shift/trans cover on the left side and runs under the generator and starter... see that spot where the paint is worn off the engine case where something that ran under the starter rubbed the paint.[​IMG] I think that's were it goes but its been a couple years since I messed with that on mine so i'll have to double check.
