Greetings from Illinois USA

So glad I found this forum. I am an older rider, just retired and want to get back into it. I am in need of assistance. I picked up this Chinese motorcycle, that some body butchered up the wiring, trying to put on a new ignition switch on. I need a wiring diagram BADLY for a 2006 PIONEER Motors RIVAL XF 250-A. I have looked everywhere for one. It is very similar to the Honda Rebel, but has a few different things. The battery and battery box tray is bigger. Wiring is bigger gauge, and harness is different. Most of the color codes are 90% identical, but again some small differences. Any help or direction will be greatly appreciated. Bike only has 780 miles on it.Attachment 17367

Welcome to the forum. I'm aware of your engine, as I had it in an older bikes, but I don't really know much about the electrical system. I hope someone more knowledgeable can help you out.

Me too. I bought a new switch. Actually a guy sent me 2 switches for the price off 1. A used Honda Rebel switch. And a new switch. Neither have the plug wired the same way or or color coded the same.

If I just had a wiring diagram / schematic of this bike I could figure it out. I can get the bike running, with the 2 wires I put together. But the key doesn't turn it off. Attachment 17372 Attachment 17373 Attachment 17374 Attachment 17375 It runs with these 2 wires hooked up. Just need to know where the others go. There is a Black with white stripe coming OUT of main harness plug, that is HOT when the motorcycle is running. I am thinking that might be the one to use somehow to kill the coils when you turn the key to off. In other words it should go to the ground postion in the switch when key is turned off.

Hello, from Raleigh, NC. I am also an older rider, just retired, ew owner of a 2012 CCW Misfit. Can't offer any help with the electrical, but that's not to say I haven't been there and feel sorry for you...good luck with that, and welcome...from another chinese noob....

Thank YOU MJH - I have looked at that one. This chinese is pretty butchered up in the ignition department. I starts out with a bigger battery 9AH, and someone has cut out the fuses etc. But I think if I can just trace the wires and hook things up like the Rebel it should work. Thanks Man - appreciate it.Attachment 17376Attachment 17377

:eekers:

Its Asian cmx250 the differences are it accommodates a gear position indicator and tachometer. You can see the head cover does not exist on the Rebel, it has no tach and no gear position indicator. Human being posted the details naming conventions Honda uses on their differences on another thread, also Pioneer is a subordinate to Qingqi so that’s another option to search under for wiring diagrams, if you can find their model name/ number. Commonly called an Asian Honda Rebel version.

MJH - The schematic you sent shows the Black with white stripe wire going to ground in the switch. So I am thinking that if I connect it to the 2 blacks on the switch. And put the green from switch to the other greens that go to ground, - then when I turn the key to off it should kill the power to CDI box.Attachment 17383Attachment 17384

I would just try to find the correct switch.

This one is for a CA250 and has four wires.

Since the CA250 is an Asian version then you can reference parts diagrams used in AU.

I think that having the correct ignition switch would work out, it seems like it has two black wires and one green and one red. You should be able to reuse the plug connector. I guess you may have an AC system and bet that when it is all hooked up your headlight stays on when the bike is not running. The DC would cut it off and the AC leaves it connected, could also explain a larger battery, not sure though, good luck.

here is the way to buy parts off Taobao, you need a third party to do it.

Thank YOU ALL. Got it up and running thanks to the wiring Diagrams. Seems the problem I had AFTER I got the ignition switch wired in properly, has 2 green (ground) wires from harness to switch did not go to actual ground on frame. Once I put a jumper on them to direct ground, the switch worked fine. So does the red kill switch. Both shut off the bike. Now my only issue left is that when the headlight handle bar switch (3 positions- Off / Park/ On) is in the OFF position, the headlight is on. Any ideas?

"AUTO on" is norm ages ago http://www.nhtsa.gov/people/injury/p...ycle49-50.html , mod it to "asia version" if u really wants that feature.
