It wasn't that hard actually...just figured out what the essentials were and redrew the diagram. The only tricky part was trying to figure out the starting circuit with the Neutral-kickstand-clutch switches. I didn't wire it in the stock manner.
I removed the clutch switch and wired it so that if the kickstand is DOWN, it must be in neutral to start. That's it. If the kickstand is up, it will start in gear.
I figured if the kickstand is down I didn't want to start it in gear by accident when I'm not sitting on the bike...but if the kickstand is up (I'm obviously on the bike) I figure I'm smart enough to pull in the clutch before I start it....
I probably eliminated over half or more of the wiring, got everything out of the headlight so I could use the a smaller aftermarket light and made it much simpler to troubleshoot if I have any problems. Well worth the time and effort in my opinion and a great way to learn how your bike is wired in the process.
BTW-the wiring diagram shows the carb heater circuit, but I eliminated that as well after reading all the debates on whether you really need them. So far no problems with icing.
