The first step would be to determine what functions the trailer wires perform. Does it have 6 wires in the connector being used? Do you have separate turn signals from the brake lights? You should be able to perform a simple test of each wire to determine what it does with a battery and some jumper wires. Determine which one is ground and connect it to the negative on the battery and then touch the positive jumper to each of the other wires to see what lights up. On a rubber plug, the ground is the female socket on a trailer end. if Its a metal connector, the ground should be the socket that is larger than the others, if its wired correctly. You need to determine these things first, then proceed to the wiring from the bike. This is a topic that has been discussed before and should be easy enough to get your answers.
