All,

Putting this thing back together and trying to figure out what the red wire/plug in the picture goes to. Connector on left side of bike and runs along the back side of the battery in a small harness to the right side of the engine. It's just a single red female blade connector.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

It's an 85'. The female plug in the picture is exactly like the female plug connected to the red wire on the starter relay. But that is all hooked up. Just got it back together after 5 years and numerous things are needing rewired after I put some juice to it, so it's hard to tell what's not working. I'm doing some repairs to the other wiring and will try again. Starter didn't motor, no neutral indication and a lot of others, LOL.
 
UPDATE-Keep in mind this is a work in progress....Still no starter engagement and my neutral switch is actually illuminating my oil pressure light. Gonna have to check my connections for that one, LOL. May not have enough juice to turn starter at this point. Battery is junk and I have a charger on it to do these checks.

Fire-Medic -- Thank You for the PDF manual at the beginning of this chapter. That is going to help a lot.

Another Update-- My neutral switch and oil level wires (bayonet plugs) were swapped. Neutral now working. Starter tries to engage but battery is too low. Still no turn signals and brake light is on and flickering (aftermarket LED)> I'm going to get a new battery in the morning, and I'll see how it goes.

I still don't know what that plug goes to that I started this thread asking about??
 
This will sound sarcastic but isn't intended to be; you need to look for a similar connector.
If memory serves well (dubious) there is only one like this on the loom and may be from or to the alternator.
