Any of you guys got a PDF or JPG of a wiring diagram for a VTR? I am specifically after where the wires which go on the throttle position sensor :thumbup:

The wiring diagram is in the Knowledgebase.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Hi guys, thanks for the wiring diagram... I can see there are three wires to it, but I am struggling to work out the position of each wire on the sensor. :confused

from the diagram I assume

red - variable resistance signal
yellow / black - 5v supply from the ignition unit
green - earth

can on of you guys look at your bike and tell me which colour goes to which position? :thumbup:

anyone help with the colours as above?

The wiring is coming on well, just a couple of minor circuits to do. I like this fuse box. one lead in, and all the fuses come off that, and it has a single earth point as well. All the ends are crimped and soldered… and covered with the glue lined heat shrink. When its finally done I can tidy it up and tape the joints with self amalgamating tape. As I had changed the location of the coils I needed custom leads, cheap and easy job. That crimp tool has not seen much use since the 70’s though, when it was used all the time! I had better get some resistor plugs as there is not much in the leads!

Also finished the throttle cable. I wanted to make the bracket slightly adjustable, so I made the mounting eccentric. couldn’t be bothered to change the chuck!

There's been a lot of these bugs doing the rounds, they seem to take time to get over.

Cheers for posting the video :thumbup: looking the business,

spent a couple of yours in the garage today...  still getting over the flu, so I have not been in there long...  but long enough to get it started!  It actually fired up almost straight away, which I was pleased about.  at first I didn't have a spark though....  Seems the kill switch now works backwards.  it will be a good anti theft!  here its is running for just a few seconds, as there is no water in it yet...
