  • Electrical drawing help

    Ok, so firstly I am not a mechanical or electrical moron

    I have a new project bike, its a Yamaha and I have managed to track down a workshop manual on line actually I found 2, both different and as it happens drawn poorly and wrong(ish)

    I'm not the best at reading electrical drawings but I get by. I can read this drawing I know where the wires go, what they do etc
    What is really stumping me is the wire colour symbol/codes ............ and before you ask, I have been cover to cover there is no legend or glossary of terms

    Next to the wire on the drawing is a letter that dictates the colour of the wire

    B = black
    Y = yellow
    W = white
    R = red
    Br = brown
    G/Y = green with yellow trace
    Og = orange
    Sb = sky blue (?)
    P = pink
    Dg = dark green (?)

    The above I'm pretty sure of but there are 2 that have me bewildered

    L
    Ch

    WTF colours are L and Ch ? As I said before the drawings are incorrect and average quality scans, I checked on the bike and tyhe colous dont match

    ??????????????????????????????

    Pure speed in sixth gear on a 5,000 foot straightaway is one thing, but pure speed in third gear on a gravel-strewn, downhill, ess turn is quite another.

        My google Fu has paled into insignifigance compared to your's [MENTION=6797]Sprint[/MENTION]

        Thanks for your help, it helps because one of the wires I checked on the bike was blue, and marked L on the drawing
        There are still faults on the drawing but this helps a lot with me chasing a half torn out and missing tangled mess from 1976 that has been bush bashed and collected shed filth
