Unfortunately I don't know your bike all that well, but in most electronic systems, green is reserved for ground - at least in power (small current signal wires aside).

That's the way my truck is wired but it's a mistake... -Dave On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 8:43 PM, Kurt Nolte <[email protected]> wrote: > Super-weird.
