wiring

I'm doing my first wire up for a kick only '78 xs650 hardtail. I've got a wiring diagram but I've never connected wires, etc. Looking for advice on types of terminals/connectors to use when wiring up my bike. Thanks.

I'm in the middle of a cafe project on a 1980 xs650. A few months back, I ordered a Chinese tachometer/speedometer setup. Some of you may have seen it around (link below). I've gotten the wiring almost completely sorted in spite of the useless directions. The only issue that I have is that I...

I've been trying to get the wiring for this bike done all winter, but something just doesn't add up. I went to mikesxs.com for a wiring harness that matched the vin number on the forks. The problem is that the harness didn't fit at all. Now I notice that some parts in the manual are showing...

Hello everyone, thanks in advance for any support on this one... Currently trying to button up the install of a replacement wiring harness from Mikes, into the 76' resto project. I have been following the diagrams from Clymer, and Jayel's that's in the tech section. There are few...

Hello everyone, I am attempting to get a head start on some work for the weekend. Looking to make a dent in a re-wire. I want to rule out and errors or wire color mis-matches when comparing the stock diagram, and the replacement switches I have lined up... Is there a chance anyone has...

Hi guys, I don't know if this will be possible but the M Unit done by Motogadget is so damn expensive and so small, it looks like something that could be created DIY. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this or think its possible...

Hello I'm new to this site, so don't know where to post this. Recently put new turn signals on my 1980 xs650, also put in a new 522 flasher relay. I had the turn signals working a couple of weeks ago but after taking them off and reinstalling them I think I messed something up. The signal fuse...

Wiring gurus, I need some help. I worked up this diagram but now I wanna make a couple changes. First off, does anyone see any problems with it as is so far? Second, I want to add in a relay for the headlight but not sure how it gets wired in to the mix. Also, I have a cool momentary push button...

I got the bike last summer and didn't do much with it in hopes to do a cafe/tracker build over the winter. (didnt happen) Spring rolled around and I finally pulled the motor and rebuilt the top end. Now the motor is about ready to be mounted and its time to look at electrical and that's where...

I have a rephased (thx Hugh) now an XS750, with the Pamco electronics for the rephasing. I'm not using the green monster coils due to space limits. I'm using a Dyna DC3 mini coil, (dual output, dual fire; couldn't find a dual output single fire when I bought it). I know someone has done the...

Just got this bike as a basket case for 2,000, came with tons of stock parts extra set of rims and wheels, all that good stuff. I have encountered a problem though. It's a 1974 and it didn't come with a wiring harness or ignition system. So I got no key or anything. What steps am I going to...

So I picked up a 1972 XS-2 basket case for less than a hand full of green backs. I have it built and am just finishing up the wiring. I am using the radio shack rectifier / NAPA regulator and I am stumped. I have poured over diagram after diagram and can't find this one little answer. Where...

so i have a few questions, start from scratch my bike has a morris mag so has no coil, has battery for lights no kill switch etc etc, not sure what brand stator. now I'm wanting to get rid of the morris and go boyer ign my question is am i going to run into trouble with the wiring of the coil...

OK so the one thing that I forgot to take a pic or ten of when stripping my bike is how the wiring harness runs along the frame. Does anyone have pics of how this bloody thing is supposed to be run? Im missing something here. I will be forever indebted!

What are you all putting / able to get in your electrical boxes? Any interior pics would be AWESOME! Thanks!

So I'm on the final steps of my winter project on my stock 1975 XS650B, and the engine starts fine, everything works, thanks to you guys. But I hit one final snag: the electrics. The headlight and horn don't work! I've disconnected and re-wired it five times and it's driving me nuts. In detail...

Hi guys, I've got an '80 xs650s that I just put a new pamco and PMA in. Between the previous owner and myself, a bunch of the "bells & whistles" have been stripped off the bike. I'm about ready to make a new wiring harness for the bike as I have it set up now, but wiring isn't exactly my...

Good morning boys. I would be grateful if you could help me organize the steps to making an electrical harness for my 1982 XS 650. I've studied my Haynes manual, gone cross-eyed reviewing the great diagrams and comments in the Tech section, and I am now just dangerous enough to dive in, fire...

So I'm wiring an 81 xs650, it has a rotor on it that is not the original and not sure of the year that it came off of. I have everything wired but when I turn on my ignition switch ( which is a generic automotive style) it pops my main fuse. I have the green brush wire going to the green...

I purchased the basic pamco high output ignition set, part # 14-0911. I've been off at college and haven't had the chance to install it and just hooked everything up to see what it's going to be like however i'm having issue (not the best at electrical work) I followed the instructions for...
