Just thought I'd ramble on a bit about my encounter with the wiring harness and color codes for the "whizz" last night. Oh sure, I printed out the PDF wiring file posted here, which is super great, but then again I found some colored wires not even on the diagram, or better yet some of wires coming from the switches colored with a stripe having to go into a solid completely different colored wire. But after awhile I got everything working, blinkers, front and rear lights and when hand spinning the engine I even got a spark out of the plug resting against the head, which made my evening complete! Lucky for me the guy who bought my 2005 NE5 has not picked it up yet so I was able to easily trace some found unknowns. On both bikes there are a few unused ends, and for some reason a spare wire hot wire going and just sitting in the tail light housing with nothing to connect to. Glad I had a continuity tester and a long life 12 volts bat.
I found on this 2000 Pacemaker it uses a round flasher type unit (has a 4 wire white plug with yellow, black, grey and yellow/black wires) where as the 2005 NE5 using the same white plastic plug with same colored wires goes into a solid state black unit which looks just like the CDI.
Well that's my rambling.
