Get a 100 ohm 1/2 watt resistor, lift the grey wire from the twist, solder one end of resistor to grey wire, twist other end of resistor together with white and brown. I will not explain what is going on here for obvious reasons.


Post back with your results.

Ok will try that. Thank you.

 

[icemannkw]

Thank you to all that helped. I am about to make my first official ride on my Vulcan in the Keys at night. It is star filled night and cool for here. The perfect weather. SFAIR> Special thanks to you. You are the man.
Will be posting pics of the bike and the rebuild soon to come. It is all because of you.

You are welcome. Thanks go to Pacomutt too as he steered me to your post which I had not noticed.

So are any of those wires supposed to be hot? I am having the same issue.. Where is it supposed to be getting power from

 

[Griffin Joe]

If it follows the rest of Kawi's line-up, (and it probably does):

Brown=Ignition
White= Battery
Gray=Ignition
Blue=Taillamp 1
Red=Taillamp 2

Brown is for things that need to be energized, like the radiator fan, etc.
Gray is for the ignition/ignitors themselves.
Connecting white, brown and gray should get you going. Add blue for lights.

Red, together with white is for parking lights.

What if connecting those wires those three wires together doesn't get it going I was not

I have white brown blue red yellow how would I wire this to a 5 prong switch

Hey I'm having the same thing with my 2002 kawasaki Vulcan 800 B I put the red and blue wire connecting it to the battery it turns over but no spark I lost my keys and don't have 135 bucks to spend for a new one and not really understanding what yiu mean on this post anyway you can explain

 

[Jkillingsworth1996]

Do you have a photo of where which wires go where on the ignition cylinder I didn't take a pic of mine and can't remember which goes where

I have 2001 volkun 1500 the white wire has been pulled from ign. And the wire is off the term. That has a resistor. What color wire is the resistor term.also what color is the fuel pump wire

Get a 100 ohm 1/2 watt resistor, lift the grey wire from the twist, solder one end of resistor to grey wire, twist other end of resistor together with white and brown. I will not explain what is going on here for obvious reasons.


Post back with your results.can I solder the two wires that are now loose off the Ign.

I also need color of the fuel pump wire tks.

This diagram will get your ignition switch straightened out, but I need to know if your bike is FI, or carb.

Is there a cheaper alternative to fix ohm resistor and if so where besides Amazon or eBay. My cellphone is 502-631-7281. Please let me know asap

Why won't you explain? I'm having same issue

If you cannot afford a 50 cent resistor, I don't know what else to tell you.

Ok I have a similar problem on my 1998 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 so I thought I lost the key A buddy of mine drilled out the back of the ignition switch and then a day later we found the key in the yard ignition switch still turns on the brake light tail light headlight will not come on unless if I use like a jump wire from a hot wire and touch power to the headlight and remove it and you'll stay on and work properly problem is I'm not getting fired to my plugs could that have a possibility of why I'm not getting fired from drilling the back of the ignition switch

 

[Bandit101]

With ignition switch turned on, check gray wire at igniter for 6vdc.

 

[Ty poulette]

Is there away to send you a video of what's going on that's when I hit the start button it clicks at the fuel pump and at the fuse box and like I said I have to use a jump wire to kick my headlight on when I turn the key on but the tail light and the speedometer light ignition light all comes on but the headlight won't until I jump it and then I take the jump wire off and it still works but I'm not getting no spark to my plugs would that have to do with the ignition being drilled out where anything can turn the ignition
