Wire Identification

[clivegto]

Am customising a mk2 Bandit 1200 loom for my Harris project with koso clocks. All work now apart from I have 3 wires left from the loom black/yellow, red, and orange/green. Question is which one is the tacho and what should I do with the other 2. All 3 wires did go to the b12 clocks.

Old broken set of Mk1 b12 clocks I have appears to have black/red and orange/green ?

If at least some of the colour coding is the same as other Suzuki looms, then the orange / green will be a switched positive. With the clocks lit up, you should get 12v to earth (maybe only with the lights switched on). On both my bikes black/yellow is the feed from one of the coils to the tacho so maybe the same here. I have no experience with mk2 Blandits, but do they have anything that is on permenently like a clock? If so the red may be a direct positive from the battery and you'll get 12v to earth even without having to turn the ignition on. Hopefully someone who has worked on mk2 Blandits will be along soon

Thanks I have that already. 

To be fair I am no electric engineer but I am a very practical man and some of the stuff on the diagram makes no sense to me when wiring in the koso clocks.

Thanks that makes sense.

Any help?? 1200s

RED/White is from "meter" fuse, Orange Green is from "instrument" fuse this seems common to most models both will be switched power

 Black /yellow splices off from the coil

Red was permanent live, orange/green was switched live and black/yellow was for the tacho. 

Thanks for your help gents.
