Want to wire this switch up on Right hand side near throttle

wiring

Hi faktor,

I`m sure its yellow to yellow, green to green, and blue to bits
Sorry mate could not help myself (tee hee)

Hope you get sorted, brookester

Looking at your wiring diagram the blue/white is the start wire, the red/white is a 12V supply to the switch unit. Connecting these two together through a momentary push button switch pulls in the starter solenoid (ie spins the engine) & also sends a signal to the CDI unit, I'm assuming to make it modify the spark advance curve when starting.

The grey is the HI/LO spark advance curve signal back to the CDI. The brown is a ground connection to the switch. You would normally connect these together or disconnect them to select HI or LO, but the bloody diagram does not show whether HI has the wires connected or disconnected. You can probably tell from the old switch or someone else might know for sure. I think the switch unit is the same as on the earlier bikes where the toggle is used as an engine kill. If it is then the contacts are closed when the toggle is in the left position when sitting on the bike (Hint - Be sure about your left & right! You said earlier the throttle was on the left side???)

Rather than lose the HI/LO control altogether you could mount a off-the-shelf toggle switch anywhere on the bike & connect it up. I don't know how much difference the control makes but.

Someone correct me here if I am wrong, but I have read on here somewhere (probably before the crash of '04) that if you disconnect the hi/lo switch the ignition will default to hi

Off is the orange wire but it's connected to the left hand switch, lights etc.
I had problem with that one 1.5 years ago so I don't remember for sure and I don't have the bike close. The stop button short cut the circuit.

This is directly from my weak memory. Take it as a hint.
Over the carburettor it will be a connection of three orange wires. One goes to the coil and the other two go left and right respectively. The one routed left goes to the left switch and the one routed right should go to the ignition key. With some luck you will find an orange wire, sometimes it changes colour within the harness, which is cut and put down in the right hand wiring harness. If not and you will keep the left wiring harness untouched, connect a wire to the orange wire from the coil and route it to your button.

It should default to Hi

As Poke says it defaults to Hi - the Hi/Lo switch is merely a switch to earth.
