From what I can tell, the wiring is essentially the same on all VLX's from '88 to '07. Two exceptions I'm aware are:
'99/later do not have a fuel pump and pump relay and the '05/later have a three-wire throttle position sensor on the
carburetor. When I can verify the wiring for the TPS, I'll add it to the drawings. I've not been able to completely verify
the accuracy of these drawings so I'm making them available here for information purposes with the standard 'use at
your own risk' disclaimer.

I've modified this drawing to highlight the wiring associated with several other circuits to make troubleshooting a
little easier. Links are provided below for these other drawings. Click on the link to view them. You can then
'right-click' on an image and select 'save image as' to download it to your computer.
Any questions, comments, complaints? Need more information or if you see an error? Email me.
One last diagram is for the minimum wiring for chopped bikes.
