what it this orange wire on my CDI?
-
hello guys, im performing some electric works in my DTR and i have no clue what this orange wire is for:
-
-
It supplies power to the ignition coil
@HOTSHOT-III so this Wire should be connected to the ignition cut switch? To quicly Turn off the bike?

No! It should be connected to the coil to supply a spark to the plug! What colour wire is connected to your coil?
Is the orange wire loose?WTF?
@SpookDog previous owner installed a cut switch, this Wire goes to the switch and comes back to the coil primary feeds 12 volts to make the induction in the 2nd coil to generate high tension

It supplies the pulse to the coil as well. I’d be worried about it loosing ‘resolution’ by passing it through other switch-joins. Easier to just use the normal earth to kill the engine…
I’m guessing it was a paranoid hidden kill switch? Otherwise I can’t see a point. I’d definitely put it back to ‘straight to coil’…
The normal kill switch wire is black with white stripe…

@SpookDog yep the guy had a hidden Killswitch in this Wire like a Bolt that when unscrewed cutted the current to the coil

As @SpookDog has alluded to, you don't want any impedance on that pulse coil wire but hiding a kill switch just seems a bit lame, there are better ways to secure your motorcycle than that. Ultimately these bikes are not stolen to order, they're usually stolen for a joy ride and then burnt out, so you just want to deter the thief to move on to some other poor sods bike who hasn't secured it properly...
Always Originate, Never Pirate!

@Calum I removed the Bolt system, and the black and white Wire is connected directly to the Key ignition switch, thats the cable that Originaly has the red Button doing the job right?

Black with white stripe is the ignition kill on my bike
@SpookDog ok, i Will rewire my cut Button to this cable, thank you

The ignition key switch has a kill as well as the throttle switch. There should be a wire behind the headlight somewhere already. Black with white stripe…
@SpookDog yes I have that Wire connected to the Key switch, my interest is to keep the on off Button, i Will rewire it to the black and white cable, even tho it really doesent affect the Spark since the aditional resistance is insignificant
