sv wireing guru required

right im sticking a vapor speedo on the sv after the off but ive got hundreds of wires now going to nowhere so i need to know which i can ditch and which have to stay the bike wont fire as is but i assume thats due to the electrics not having the old speedo to work with

please
remember simple im irish

The Haynes diagram will be your best friend for a while.

I thought the vapour units came with decent wiring diagrams, or maybe that was just the ones I looked at.

wiring the vapor is easy knowing what you can and cant take off the sv is the sticky part

just to let you know all bikes start without clocks so u have a prob somewhere else.....what else got damaged??

OK, start with what functions you want to utilise on the vapour, obviously the speedo... but different vapour units have different functions available.

So what do you want it to do (list everything it's capable of doing that you want it to do)?

I'm on nights so I'll take the Haynes to work with me tonight for you.

EDIT: Yea, I missed that bit above, the bike will run without a speedo (my K6 was doing for a couple of weeks before).

Speed sensor is the orange/red and pink wires. The black/white is ground.

The coolant sensor is a black/green wire. This goes positive when the light should illuminate, so ground the other wire on the vapour.

The RPM on a curvy I *think* is only taken from the front coil signal - which is the black/yellow wire - but my knowdge of curvies is *very* limited so I could be wrong.

Your starting issue (or lack thereof), are you getting a spark (take the front plug out, leave it connected to the HT lead, hold the plug against the frame & hit the starter - please be careful though!)?

point of note the starter dont make any noise at all nothing not even a whirl or click

Kill switch? Check all the idiot switches. Starter relay/motor gone? Battery OK?
