    I have a 250s that has had all the electrics removed, with the exception of the coil, the capacitor discharge ignition unit, alternator and the pickup coil. Can anyone tell me what wires i connect to get ignition? The bike has no kill switch, lights, guages, ect. I just need to get it up and running for a basher around the farm.

    Cheers Guys.
