Okay so recently I posted a thread on my motorbike and that it wasn't starting at all no electrics were coming on.

https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=238806

Now I was just looking at the bike today and noticed that a wire was loose. I know a posted I wouldnt go on this thing again but I need some sort of transport for the next 2 months so I can save up for my other bike.

I cant be sure, but at a 'best guess'... it will be to carry electricity Rolling Eyes

Other than that.... not REALLY giving us much of a clue to help us help you here, are you?

One on left looks like it may be connector block from the generator; one in your hand MAY be a side stand cut-out switch connector, but otherwise, they are just 'random wires'.

Off the top of my head...

Looks like it should be going into a fuse box.

/me is no help at all.

Is the box connector (left circled image) linked up to anything Question

if it is then it might be worth following the wire and report back might solve the problem if not have a look for the other half connector in there.
If it has come loose it will be in there if there isn't one then it is most probably a wire just left in the bike from something else.

From the colours of the wires, the left one could be for lighting. If you can't find anything to connect them to and everything still works as it should, maybe they are for optional extras... could the right hand connector be for diagnostics?

Maybe the same wiring harness is also used for different models that have more electrical stuff.

yeah the box connecter is linked up to another box connecter this wire was down by were the alternator is located. There is no electric power in the bike no lights no nothing they only come on when the bike is kick started is it possible it coul be from the alternator ?

If it was from the stator it would be AC, check it with a multimeter.
It does look like it could be a diagnostics connector but that would go to the cdi.

It does look like it would connect to an external device rather than something currently on the bike.

I would say take more pictures of where it goes to on the bike. Follow it until you get to the end point.
