Mate the wiring was a shamozzle,a legacy of the previous owner and our rush factor when putting it back together probably didn’t help the overall cause.

One funny thing that happened after we replaced the wiring harness is that all of a sudden the bike wouldn’t start.

After ten or so kicks Tripper pipes up and says,would this black box thingy be stopping it from starting? He was holding the CDI in his hand with it still connected to the old harness.
Yes Tripper that will make a big difference. :laugh:

Another thing we learnt TB is never take anything for granted when dealing with electrickery. :S

GOT IT SORTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After two hours of stuffing around scratching our heads even the auto sparky was getting frustrated with the bloody thing.We even replaced he whole wiring harness with the spare one we had. We still had a working tail light and a working head light and that was all.
That was our down fall,seeing as though the headlight was working on both hi and lo beam we assumed it was all ok. All the wiring for the headlight is in a rubber protector do dad thing and when out of frustration it was pulled off, it became evident that it was very dodgily wired and that it was earthing out all the time, how the headlight still worked was beyond us. A rewire of the headlight and lo and behold everything started to work like it is supposed to.

Mine was so badly delaminated that when I was on the tar riding home,some guy chased me down in his car to tell me that there was something seriously wrong with my back wheel.

Make sure you post up what the problem is Mick when you figure it out. There are a few XR’s floating around here so will be good for future reference.

THat is the plan. Unless it is something I did wrong. :blush:

Harry and his wife are having hard financial times, so they decide
that she’ll become a hooker.

She’s not quite sure what to do, so Harry says, “Stand in front of
that bar and pick up a guy. Tell him a hundred bucks. If you’ve got
a question, I’ll be parked around the corner.”
She’s out there five minutes when a guy pulls up and asks, “How much?”

She says, “A hundred dollars”. He says “Sh*t. All I’ve got is
thirty”. She says, “Hold on.”

She runs back to Harry and says,” What can he get for thirty dollars?”

Harry says, “A hand job”.

She runs back and tells the guy all he gets for thirty dollars is a
Hand job.

He says “okay”, she gets in the car; he unzips his pants, and out pops
a simply HUGE male unit. She stares at it for a minute, and
then says, “I’ll be right back.”

She runs back around the corner and says breathlessly, “Harry, can
you lend this guy seventy bucks?”
