Help! Where should these wires go?

Hi everyone.

Having a mare at the moment with my XL1000VA10.

I won't start at the moment.

The fuel pump is not priming.

It has always been a minor problem that would pop it's head up now and again - familiar to a lot of us - turn on the ignition and the fuel pump doesn't prime, toggle the kill switch, up and down with the side stand, ignition off, key out for 10 seconds X repeat and it eventually primes.

So I was having a slightly different problem - the FI light was not coming on. 

I took apart the switchgear on the throttle side and sprayed WD40 on it, giving it a bit of a clean. 

I was looking around the area in around the bottom yoke at the very front of the tank and I found these wires (see below) - they were vey clumsily bound together and badly taped.  This wasn't my work so I am putting it down to a previous owner.

Can someone have a look at these wires please and hopefully tell me where they go.  I am presuming they go to some relay and that they are responsible for the fuel pump priming.  I did separate them and lost the FI light.  I connected two of them together and the FI light came on.  Connecting two different wires had the same effect. 

I am hoping that someone can advise me, maybe take a piccy of where the wires go on their bike.

Many thanks in advance.

I'm not sure I understand your explanation !

Those wires are from the immobiliser Sensor.
Unless the ECU has been changed the bike won't run without the sensor and the correct key present.

I wonder what happen if I click on this - Ooops

Hey folks,

Did some digging.. turns out that these should be connected to the immobiliser.

Spoke to an auto electrician and he reckons that an attempt was made to steal the bike.

The bike is going in to him in a week or so when he has a slot.

I did find a wiring diagram on a Russian site and the labels were in German, so I am translating that now and will make it available when finished.

Still happy to hear any opinions

THanks,
Qtour
