I need to pick your brains once more this week: I'm building my GT250A from bits so I never had the chance to take photos for reference - no, it's not an excuse, it's a reason! This time I need a bit of help routing the wiring harness; I've sorted it out from the headstock backwards, but I'm not sure which route to take around the steering head and up to the headlight and clocks. Some photos I've seen seem to have loop of something under the bottom yoke, but I can't tell if this is wiring or cable(s). The Haynes manual doesn't really help, either.
Any ideas, please? I would rather get it right first time if possible.

Re: Gt250 wiring routing
If you look behind the headstock at the bottom of the yoke there is a triangular bracing plate with a hole in it. The loom routes through there and loops under the bottom yoke (supported by a clamp) and then goes up behind and into the headlamp shell. Kev

That's great, thanks - I suspected the loop under the yoke was something to do with it.

have you any pics of these? I suspect that both my 250 and 380 are routed wrong!
Cheers Gary

Re: Gt250 wiring routing
I can show you the pics for my 380. ~The sequence is from back to front. The last one is where it emerges from the hole.There should be a grommet around the hole which I haven't fitted yet.Kevsuzukigary wrote:Mike/Kevcanaletto5 wrote:Thanks to Mike Yeadon for putting me right on this when I wired up my 380strokernut wrote:That's great, thanks - I suspected the loop under the yoke was something to do with it.

Re: Gt250 wiring routing
For the grommet, I used an old one from a headlamp shell....cut it, then trimmed it so that when installed in the steering head hole, it was perfectly lined up. Its quite a shove to get it in but using a small plain bladed screwdriver it went home nice and neatly, properly clipping around the slot in the grommet edge. I did this because I forgot to install one before wiring the bless thing up! Did the same for the GT380...which had been without a grommet for lord knows how long. They should be installed to prevent chafing.
Cheers,
Mike

Would you by any chance have a picture of the clamp and its location?canaletto5 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 08, 2014 11:49 pm If you look behind the headstock at the bottom of the yoke there is a triangular bracing plate with a hole in it.

Struggling to find a clamp for mine and where its actually fixed

Re: Gt250 wiring routing
Sorry, no. I sold the bike two years ago. There must be some one else on here with one. Kev
