Motorcycle Repair: 71 Yamaha 125 enduro AT-1 wiring, voltage reg, yamaha 125


Question
Hi there,  I need help bad.  I bought this 71 Yamaha enduro recently for my 14yr old son for $75, It was very clean but wasn't running.  I took it home and got it started but the wiring is a mess and I would like to get rid of all the wires except what has to be there to make it run.  So, basically I need the rundown on how the POS and NEG go from Battery to Voltage reg..coil...ect. Just the bare basics to make it run.     Any help would be most helpful!  Thanks!
Danny

Answer
Danny,
 I can't tell you specifically what goes where and what color it should be for your particular bike however, a good aftermarket manual should give you the layout with color codes and that should clear up the confusion.  

Here's a link to a manual:

Try this link to contact the operator to see if he has any remaining stock, he went out of bussiness:

Hope this helps,
