1991 900 Ss Restoration (slow)

Discussion in 'Supersport (1974-2007)' started by wolfram, Jun 12, 2015.

  1. Sorry - i should have made it clear - the wires are actually black - i just highlighted them in a colour for clarity.

    So - interested that your 750 has the battery round the other way?
     
  2. Negative is on the left side; positive on the right.....looking from the rear......Vent tube on the left also...... All OEM.
     
  3. yep, early 900ss the other way round. Negative on right side... looking from rear
     
  4. I assume you have seen this?

  5. Yes, i have this and haynes and original workshop manual and users manual. These do not help much with routing wires though.
     
  6. Point taken..........and I don't suppose pics of my bike in various states of undress will help as it is a later model....but save the attached pic beloew.....you might be needing it when you finally get there.

    What you need is more like this, I guess.

  7. THAT is very useful - and confirms where the 'blue' wire should go - uner the frame lug, not on top!!! THANK YOU
     
  8. Therein lies another difference with mine.............my battery to frame lead bolts on top of the airbox lug, because it has a steel bushed rubber grommet in the plastic lug and the steel bush stops the bolt and washer from crushing the plastic.
     
  9. Is that "blue" wire the lead to the side stand. Our 91 bikes have a different setup on the side stand warning switch
     
  10. No....he used colours to identify black leads to avoid confusion which caused the confusion.
     
  11. Here you are...this is what I meant about my airbox......note the rubber grommet, but the steel bush is missing.

  12. Yep - i have those - with the steel bush. I had not thought about the steel bush preserving the plastic lug, but now you mention it... I still think it is better placed under the frame lug as in the diagram you sent. In fact, I have just ground off the paint on the underside frame lug ready for the earth lead.

  14. I got the colour thing. That's why I put ""blue"" in quotes. I still think that the black wire may be the sidestand wire
     
  15. Here's the full set, because I don't know how to link threads, perhaps there is somewhere more obvious to place these so others can find them? wiresa.jpg wiresb.jpg wiresc1.jpg wiresc2.jpg wiresd.jpg wirese.jpg wiresf.jpg

  16. Exceptionally useful! Thanks! Think it is a 750SS - the battery may be 'the other way'

  17. you're welcome, glad I could help.

    edit: yes my bad forgot the caveat as mentioned in other posts, some of the fine detail is not 100% accurate with 900ss.

  18. Wow!!

    thanks for sharing.

  19. Yes, it is a 750 (or possibly 600).......look at the clutch casing.
     
  20. you're welcome (hit and miss as to whom may stumble upon these as they may need them, or if I happen to notice a need, apologies I missed yours, has to be a better, more efficient way to share this kind of data?)
