you guys probably noticed in the other thread i had fixed the issue about the ignition switch key replacement etc..
but after riding it i found out that the bike wasn't charging the battery like it should be so i think I may have messed up the wires.

those things are so complicated
i tried to follow the wiring back to the coils and used a meter to test electric currents coming out of the battery and i couldnt figure out the purpose of the grey and brown. could not wiring these right make the battery not charge properly?
