SF1 wiring compared to SF2 wiring

[matchlessman]

I've recently acquired an SF1 in quite good condition but with some odd behaviour in the instrument warning lights that I'm trying to sort out. Using the wiring diagram in the green bible has been a bit "challenging". I've downloaded the nice coloured wiring diagram for the SF2/3. How close is the wiring in the SF1 to the SF2? I have the Lucas handlebar switches.

I used the green book diagram to re wire my SF1 and it works. Are you clear as to how the key works relative to lights & ignition?
I don’t have indicators on my bike so the only lights that operate in the clocks are the green neutral and the red in the rev counter.

Sorry don’t know how this compares to SF2 but obviously SF2 has ND controls so possibly different connections/colour wires.

More knowledgeable owners on here will no doubt comment.
Good luck.

My problem is the "Beam" and "Flash" lights are on all the time.

From memory the flash indicator light is from the wires to each flasher, it is not itself connected to earth. The high beam light is a wire from the high beam and earths via the common earth in the meter (green).

Thanks for this information, however, I've got ND instruments. Based on your answer does your suggestion would work? I don't have an ammeter.
