Paintersteve Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Help I’ve just bought a 750 slingshot with a 1052 in it and someone in they’re infinite wisdom has cut the plugs off for the cdi unit and thrown them in the bin then put a shit tone of odd coloured wires in with blue crimp connectors on for good measure. i need to know what wire goes where from the cdi unit. I’m hoping someone has been here and can tell me the sequence or know someone who can. I’ve got some pictures of the cdi unit here. thanks in advance Steve Edited May 10, 2019 by Paintersteve Quote
Captain Chaos Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 hi and welcome to OSS. which ignition pick-up is on the engine (behind right side crankcase cover)? 1052 has double pick-up, the Slingshot has a single one. You need the one matching the cdi unit, which I think is a Slingshot 750 one. Quote
Blue Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) B/W from cdi to sidestand/turn signal relay/starter relay/left indy/stop & tail light. o/w from cdi to coils/RH handlebar switch W from cdi to coil B/Y from cdi to coil/tacho Black/Blue, Yellow from cdi to signal generator Black/Red from cdi to tacho Note 7 wires on 750 1988-91 Edited May 10, 2019 by Blue Quote

I’ll have a check tomorrow I know there’s 2 wires come back from the pickup to the cdi I just don’t know where they’re meant to plug on to it Quote

Blubber Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 You could ask around and get a secondhand matching loom? Sounds like that will sort your problem correctly. Quote
Captain Chaos Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 post some pics of what you already have, like the pick-up and ignition lock and switchgear and stuff. Quote

Captain Chaos Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 damn that looks messy. That's a Slingy pick-up and CDI, easiest option is to find a Slingshot loom and work from there. Only 43 more posts and you can access the Marketplace section Or you could get a wiring diagram and make your own loom. Quote
Captain Chaos Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) hope it's visible: 1) Black/Blue (to pick-up) 2) Yellow (to pick-up) 3) no connection 4) Black/Red (to tacho) 5) Orange/White (+12V) 6) White (to coil 1 + 4) 7) Black/Yellow (to coil 2 + 3) 8) Black/White (ground) all this on my 750L loom Edited May 11, 2019 by Captain Chaos Quote

richyrich Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Or get a more recent complete b6 or 12 loom and the switchgear , no oxidised wires and a smart finish Quote
