Finally dragged my 1982 Yamaha Sr250 down three flights of stairs and got to cruise around on it this week. Still needs some solid work before it’s completely reliable, but a fun little thumper for the city.

Thanks to everyone who came over Sunday nights to work on this thing. Big thanks to Ricky and Adam. Faulty spark plug wires, burnt starter, dirty ignition. Those dudes found it all.

The stock harness, in my opinion, is unnecessarily bulky with safety relays and switches. This inspired me to see if I could design something streamlined while still using the stock controls and dash gauge… this is what I came up with:

I found the stock diagram at the Philly Free Library. They have a decent selection of automotive and motorcycle manuals in their reference section. “Being a Yamaha owner, you obviously prefer a quality product”… These old shop manuals are awesome.
