Question for you then - how do you feel about rewiring? I'm sure that we can match up the colours so that you can understand what's going on but I wouldn't let those crimp connectors near a bike. They're terribly unreliable and I would want to replace them. How do you feel about doing that, or would you rather buy a new loom?

Second question - is there any sign of an ignition switch to use with the Thorspark?

I’m trying to identify some of the wires by continuity testing.

That's the diagram I would expect, have you asked Draganfly if they supply wiring diagrams for their looms?

Regards Mick
Their website says they do. If the KH is fitted with a Drags loom, the diagram would certainly help

That's what I would do. These looms are so simple, it's not worth messing about with old wiring.

There's a couple of pages on Ariel wiring on my blog.
