I always ride in my docs or desert boots it's suprising how many people think coz it doesent go at sport bike speed you you should wear trainers and a t shirt to ride in summer .road rash ain't fun .off subject there but had to stick mi 2 penny's in Rab i can see the safety issues so i will buy a decent helmet and decent desert boots need to look into some cloth.

Turn your fuel off when your not riding it.she should start on about 3 to 3 kicks from cold with choke first when warm.If you are turning the fuel tap to off its possibly a dodgy tap check if it's letting fuel flow with it off Its a new fuel tap and i turn it off, kicks first time when warm without any effort, i was thinking it might be down to fuel.

Is this what you're talking about? This is my 1979 p200e, the engine pivot bolt hole has what looks like a really thick washer welded to the body(it is definitely steel). As stated in other posts, a picture would help. any chance you could post a picture of your headset wiring?

I have all ready injured my foot at the start of Jaunary trying to kick start after my rebuild and couldn't cycle or go out running for a month, it has me thinking of what type of shoes i will be wearing this year, i usually wear trainers but fear this is gonna be a problem, bike starts from kick with very little effort but takes a bit from a cold start and the choke is working, ye think this is more down to the time of year or does it always take a bit of effort starting from cold?

Frame number is the one between the stars, this happened to me, frame number did not match the reg number, they ended up giving me the original reg number for that frame, took a while though.

Turn the ignition to the 'off' position. Look at the switch. The two connections that are touching are the ones that need wiring as black to green. If two of the connectors are larger than the others, these are the ones. Thats the way i have mine and it kills the engine when in off position.

got side lights, main beam, dipped beam, brake lights and speedo lights working, problems i still have, the main beam warning light is on whenever i turn my lights on, front indicators dont flash unless i remove the grey wire from the warning indicator light and replace it with an earth, then the indactors work fine, but when i switch indicator off the warning light still flashes i have replaced the wanring lamp holders, they are better quality than the one's in the picture. wonder if someone could look at a wiring diagram and help me out. Also i opened all the switches to have a look and noticed i had put plenty grease on them, would this affect them in anyway?

more likely a crap earth on front sidelight or loose bulb in holder ,give it a wiggle , an fronts will still flash without rears connected , an its not uncommon for brake light switch connections to be unconnected as ya fiddle the brake block back into the frame ,ive had it once or twice , but ya gettin close eh, bet ya can already taste the dead flys on ya teeth from smilin as ya ridin , H Lol

I've just had a look at your pictures, the headlight holder wires are fine but there's an earth missing of the ignition switch, there should be two, one goes on the connection below the green wire. I can see you've got one on but i can see the end of the other it seems to be hidden by the speedo. it connects to a double earth, one goes to speedo and the other to hi beam warning lamp, speedo lights are working, will need to wait on new bulb holder to find out if the warning lamp is working. pretty sure there was only one earth on the ignition but im a newb at this.

removed the headset and found the warning lamps bulb holders had fell apart(new from beedspeed btw) unpluged them and the lights came on, front sidelight dont work but its getting 12v so maybe the wrong bulb as the rear and speedo work, brake light dont work, i had put a new switch in so i will have to check that, indicators are untested, will they all have to be connected before i can check them? or can i check the front ones without the rear connected?

That looks wrong to me. The ignition switch only needs a green from the cdi and a black to earth. Nothing else. Only has a green wire and an earth on ignition and it works when i switch ignition off. I plan on doing what you said henri, idiot light? These the warning lamps? They are real bad quality, got them from beedspeed.

Ok thanks, I've read your thread and we seem to be having the same problem fitting this wiring loom. I have know idea how to upload a picture so I'll make some notes and write it out. Have you sorted out the 2 missing earth wires ? been told i shouldnt need those two earths but im gonna put an earth on the frame, have a look at these, but something must be wrong because none of my lights work, im thinking its down to the yellow wire because as soon as i put it on the regulater my voltage drops.

Ok, i bought a new horn, a 12v ac one, still no lights , checked the voltage from were the blue wire connects to the loom and it was only reading 2v but when disconnect from the loom it was showing 20v on a fast idle, so i connected to loom again and its back to 2v, i then disconnected the regulator and it went back up 20v. does anyone have any sugestions on what to try next? btw the horn was working.

got the smallest sockets buzzsolo could get and they are still too big for the wholes on the frame, the sockets are 13mm wide, the wholes on the frame are 10-11mm, would drilling the whole to 13mm be considered as molesting the frame?

Cheers for the info, one thing i did notice is that the spring clips for holding the hose on are to big for the new hose, will need a closer look carb side.

have checked to be sure fella p series either did not have any or got px indies on the front the rear id say were different anyway as the pannels are a lot narrower and different but yours looks like it has no rears anyway. i have been in contact with buzz solo, they say there is two different sizes of sockets and i have ordered some, not a lot of info on the web for UK p200e's, thank god for this forum

beedys have been having supplier problems for months now with a few suppliers . ive ended up buy parts elsewere normaly buzz solo or twisted rods. all the px sockets are the same fella id stay clear of lml they do the job but are clearly cheaper and lesser quality when you sit it next to a genuine like for like part especialy on things like switches Px sockets the same as the P range

dont know for sure but think the indie sockets are same for p200's an px's , cant say ive ever noticed any difference , if youve got old 1's out take em to nearest shop n compare before buying , or ring beedys or allstyles an ask before buying , H Tried to order from beedspeed, just said they couldnt get them from supplier, i allready have the old ones out, i will try what you suggest.

Cant seem to get these anywhere, will px or lml be the same with a different connection for the wire? Or are they totally different?
