What bore is the carbs on a VTR 1000?

[buzzer]

Any of you guys got a PDF or JPG of a wiring diagram for a VTR? I am specifically after where the wires which go on the throttle position sensor

The wiring diagram is in the Knowledgebase.

Here's the link, as not so easy to find IMHO:-

Diagram here too:- viewtopic.php?f=31&t=24036#p309540

thanks guys

Hi guys, thanks for the wiring diagram... I can see there are three wires to it, but I am struggling to work out the position of each wire on the sensor.

from the diagram I assume

red - variable resistance signal
yellow / black - 5v supply from the ignition unit
green - earth

can on of you guys look at your bike and tell me which colour goes to which position?

anyone help with the colours as above?

The wiring is coming on well, just a couple of minor circuits to do. I like this fuse box. one lead in, and all the fuses come off that, and it has a single earth point as well. All the ends are crimped and soldered… and covered with the glue lined heat shrink. When its finally done I can tidy it up and tape the joints with self amalgamating tape. As I had changed the location of the coils I needed custom leads, cheap and easy job. That crimp tool has not seen much use since the 70’s though, when it was used all the time! I had better get some resistor plugs as there is not much in the leads!

Also finished the throttle cable. I wanted to make the bracket slightly adjustable, so I made the mounting eccentric. couldn’t be bothered to change the chuck!

1 = yellow/black
2 = red/yellow
3 = green/black

jchesshyre, thank you so much for that! will wire it in today!

You're making good headway

Not much progress of late... I came down with the flu, and its absolutely knocked me sideways... getting there now though, but not quite recovered yet.... here is a 15 second clip of the throttle linkage

There's been a lot of these bugs doing the rounds, they seem to take time to get over.

Cheers for posting the video looking the business,

Chris.

spent a couple of yours in the garage today...  still getting over the flu, so I have not been in there long...  but long enough to get it started!  It actually fired up almost straight away, which I was pleased about.  at first I didn't have a spark though....  Seems the kill switch now works backwards.  it will be a good anti theft!  here its is running for just a few seconds, as there is no water in it yet...

Thanks for posting the video clip, it sounds great, nice and crisp
I like your petrol can / tank

That sounds sweet.

That is one gorgeous motorbike
