Co2 high pressure shifter solenoid electrical connection ZX-10R
I have a air shifter from pingel with Co2 mods to replace air bottle. Question:
Anyone here done this hook up??
There are two Two black wires coming off solenoid for co2/bottle
was told (or understood incorrectly) to hook up one on the horn (horn has two wires to it) and another to ground.
Pingel says that set up gives me a 12v signal from the horn( true) and may not work..that I need a negative signal? anyone know this stuff that might clarify?
I have an older air shifter set of instructions and they do go to the horn button with black wire of solenoid but take the other horn wire at horn out of circuit and ground it. Also instead of going to ground with the first wire they go to a 12v source.
What is correct or may work if anyone knows...
Thanks in advance...
trying to have ready by tonight so I race this weekend...

The horn has two wire (+ and -). use a test light with BOTH HORNS UNPLUGED to confirm!
If i remember right the (+) is constant and waiting on (-) to blow the horn.
One shifter wire to + (battery, tail light, or the hot horn wire) other wire to the horn ground wire.
You can put a switch in the ground side to either blow the horn or shift the bike.

Asked Pingel.. duh...Thanks for responses . been working a tight schedule to get lockup, two step ,wheelie bar and air shifter ready..
blew the schedule.. after I hooked everything as I thought it should I am sputtering on trial test run and fuel injection light came on...
not sure yet but suppose I pinched a air line under the gas tank or disturbed something while hooking up new connections at the coils??
just guessing at the moment .. any ideas what might be the cause of sputtering like I am missing one cylinder....I done something wrong ??
need to reopen her up and hope it is not hard to figure out... never went racing cause it was too late at night when I discovered I have a problem.. can wait two weeks.. have more time to sewt up anyways...
Thanks in advance for responses...

The horn is an open ground connection is it not?

no ..."the switch at the clutch is"...which is what gets the two step to hold in a lower RPM ..
Electrical diagram shows a 12v source going to my horn (ZX-10R) ....The horn circuit gets completed when horn button is pressed...and it in turn activates the shifter stuff...
I basically disabled/separated the horn by cutting both wires from the system and am using it as my shift switch...
don't seem to have any problems now...
