Yamaha jog race bike wiring issues. i unplugged the rear lighting harness when removing the rack off my bike. Plugged all the wires in the right way and i dont have anything. front light works and backlight under speed works. No blinkers, tail light, or running light. Any ideas/suggestions? Alittle back history on the bike……… I got the bike from a motor cycle salvage yard for 50$. Was sitting there since 2001. I think it was an old scooter rental bike. Brakes were locked up, gas tank rusted through(currently looking for a good used gas tank), Carb cleaned, brake cables shot(also looking for brake cables) Tires dry rotted, kick starter missing(looking for a kick start too). I added an aftermarket pipe i had laying around and she fired right up and ran like a dream. Jogged around the block with no brakes and hit 40mph very easily and fast. really like the bike just need to get these wiring problems figured out so i can legally ride on the roads. any ideas? What the bike looks like now  the night i got the scoot  |

does the battery have to be hooked up? ive got power at the three prong harness for the tail light but no power at the tail light. could the actual light fixture be bad?

Yes, the battery has to be hooked up for the taillights to work. They run off the battery, notice that when you turn the KEY TO ON your instrument panel lights up and some instruments as well. When you squeeze the brake THAT sends Voltage to the BRAKE LIGHTS and to the SOLENOID. If only the SOLENOID is getting voltage then trace the wires back.
Green = ground male to female
orange = left turn signal
light/blue = right turn signal
yellow/green = brake lights
yellow female side/ brown male side = tail lights a lot of times it's brown to brown because they tie the brown on near the R/R and yellow is the light feed wire.

ill try connecting a battery and see what happens….. but with no battery i do have front lights… Just go the front brake cable un stuck, so i went for a ride. hit 45mph very nicely.. Smooth running machine. but the tires from 2001 that are hard and dry rotted didnt go to well. Laid her down at 15mph slight front break tire slide out and im flying through the air. Sucked!!!!!! but im alright and so is the scoot. time to figure out this wiring!!

update still no break lights. traced all wires. tried battery. my conclusion is the actual break light housing is faulty. Anyone ever have a problem like this? granted the bike did sit outside for 10+ years before i got it
