Simplified Wiring Digrams

hey guys, I drew up this basic wiring diagram for my project. before I actually get started on it, wanted you guys to look it over and see if its all good. let me know if ive missed someing or something isn't wired right. thanks guys.

I fixed a couple of things in your other post.

Barebones diagram for the Honda twins and singles. Only enough to get the bike running and keep it that way. No lights, signals, or gauges included. Though not pictured, I recommend a 5A fuse on the black wire leading to the coils.
I PM'd you, but I think this will give me what I need. Just wanted to double check though... chassis ground to the body of the coil mount is really the only thing not shown, correct? And I can just leave the entire R/R section out for a total loss circuit, correct? The electric start wiring is easy enough.

Correct on most counts. The coils don't (strictly) need to be grounded though.
 
ok, one other question... I don't think the 360 are waste spark, so it should matter which cylinder the plug wires go to from the coil. Probably a dumb question, but is it blue/left, yellow/right (as seated on the bike) or vice versa?
 
sounds good. So does this seem reasonable for a total loss system that includes a starter (this will be on my starting stand).

I've been attempting to draw a wiring diagram for my DOHC CB750 and I haven't yet seen another DOHC diagram on here so I figured I'd ask. Electrical things are a black art to me but I'd love to get a basic understanding of whats going on.

Just to add, I plan to use a motogadget m-unit control system.

I found this on another forum (through googling). So my question is, if I combine the two diagrams, will this work? Iirc the M-unit removes the need for fusebox?

Thanks!!!
 
No idea if I'm even close on this but I figured I would get some direction.

Its for a CB360 with a starter (The wiring going to the solenoid is whats making me scratch my head). I figured I would ask if this is right, before I add anything else.

If you're running without a kill switch, power going to the coils and power going to the solenoid should come from the same source.

Updated, I hope this is what you meant. Thanks for the help!

Hey Sonrier,

I've made a first attempt based on a combination of the two wiring diagrams. I hope this makes sense. Left out the obvious ones.

Features:
-Headlight always on (no switch)
-Kill button is [START]x2, No kill/Run switch
-No kickstand/ clutch safety switches
 
Red/white coming off of the ignition switch is only for the solenoid. All other power sources should be fed from Acc or Ign poles. Acc is the first and second "clicks" on the ignition and the Ign is the second click only. So Acc would be stuff like parking lights and Ign would be for ignition coils, head light, etc.
 
Thanks for the help Sonreir.

Two questions if you could help me out.

On the ignition switch(Standard Square plug) there are 4 wires, Red, Black, Brown and Brown/White. I'm know red is power and I'm assuming black is ground, what I'm not sure is which colour after that corresponds to Ignition and Accessories.

Second question, on the solenoid (New ebay one), theres two screw posts and then two wires that come out, Red/Yellow and Green/Red. Again I'm assuming that one of the screw posts connects to the battery and the other to the starter. Then the Red/Yellow connects to the starter button and the Green/Red connects to the ignition switch (Which ever colour corresponds to ignition on the ignition switch) Does this sound right?

Thanks again!

Sort of.

Red from ignition switch to battery +, black from ignition switch is your power. This goes to the green/red wire on your solenoid as well as off to the ignition coils, lights, etc. Yellow/red on the solenoid goes to your starter button and then button then completes the circuit to ground.

Brown and brown/white not needed unless you want parking lights.

You sir are a genius. Honestly I should have just read your other posts about wiring in the first place, found lots more answers in your Wire Color post. Thanks for the guidance!
 
I put my own version of the simple wiring diagram together for myself. I wanted to highlight the different systems in the system. And yes, you can start my bike with the key off...
