wiring

Hey guys, So I'm about to build a custom wiring harness using the diagram that Phail sent my way (thanks Phail!) that I'm attaching. I'd also like to use the stock controls off my 79 2F. Problem is, I don't know what wires do what. I'm going to run a horn as well I think (haven't quite...

Hey guys, finally at that point in my build, however i have never wired a bike completely from scratch before. What types of terminals/connectors do you guys prefer and where are you finding them? researching around i have found a few places: www.waytekwire.com/ http://www.wirecare.com/...

83 XS. PO was a tool and completely had this bike out of whack. Now as I am almost done with the rewire I am wondering why there are only two wires out of the brake light. This is an aftemarket light that was attached and does not appear to be a motorcycle light. Shouldn't there be three wires...

I see that the simplified wiring diagrams on the "some wiring diagrams" (5th one down the page)page, particularly the 81 XS simplified one that looks oh so simple, appears to be without the TCI.. It has the coil, ignitor unit, pickup coil, but I do not see that it has that little black box under...

What do I need to have hooked up to make sure the engine will run. The ignition switch did not come with the engine so I need to make sure the engine has spark but I was told I need to have the wiring hooked up and everything.... I also apologize for my lack of knowledge with the topic, I know...

I have an 82' Special that I am building. I was using this wiring diagram. But now with the new Pamco I am thinking this is the right one to use. My question is what do I do with the pickup wires? Do I need to do anything different with the brushes? Thanks

Hey guys, I'm about to do a full rewire on my 81 XS650H, this being my first wiring job (an first bike build) I thought I'd have all you geniuses check it over. PDF link to download if you'd like to see it bigger. Any changes I should make? Anything that might explode if I hook it...

Hello All, Been using the guides on the forum for a few weeks now and decided to join the forum and get some more help on the build. The bike is a 1978 XS Special Edition I picked up a few months ago. The bike ran and I took it for a drive a few times but decided I want to take care of the...

HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT!!!!! (stomping foot here) My bike runs, got the tapered steering in, fresh top end, solid bottom, clean title, everything seems like a piece of cake, but this GAWD DAM WIRING!!! ARGH!!! I can deal with the small bowl of spaghetti under my electrical box behind the...

Is there anybody that has a chopper in phoenix that would be willing to help me with my wiring? I have a 79 xs650 and ready to start the wiring, the main prob im running into is the stator to reg/rec! thanks in advance!!!!:banghead:

I have a 1982 xs650. Let me start by saying I don't really know what I am doing and am only basing this work on what mainly INXS has posted (I read it was a composite of many others work...Pamcopete, Jayal, retiredgentleman), so if any of this does not add up please let me know. I apologize...

I know there are multiple threads on this subject. First off, i searched this with no luck and much confusion. I have what i believe to be a '79 and i need a very simple wiring diagram. I am a power lineman but these little wires scare the hell out of me. I will need headlight hi-lo,brake light...

I have an after market headlight that I plan on installing but do not know which color wires are which. Ground, high, low etc. thanks

So I'm planning to run the wiring through the backbone of my wifes bike. what would you do? 1. Drill the frame and add a bung so it maintains its strength and add a wide grommet so the wires don't rub or 2. Just drill the frame and add a grommet so the wires don't rub.

Ok.. I have a 1975 I am bobbing (see at http://rodemyyamaha.com) and I have a Pamco Ignition with the Mean Green coils. I would like to know what else I should replace. I have spent a lot of money on this jewel and want everything to be the best. I will be making my own wiring harness so...

Hey all, Just getting ready to make my custom harness and Im wondering if I can bury this electrical component or if it has to breathe... From the diagrams Ive seen, I think its the rectifier- I could be wrong. But, its the aluminum colored box w/ what appears to be heat sinks molded into...

So hear it is. I am about to start the wiring. This is the last thing i need to do before i get my bike running. obvi. I plan on the bike being kick only. Here is a list of the accesories that ill be using Headlight Tail light Battery Coil Pamco Reg/rec Stator Ignition Switch Speedo and...

So. I am painting my frame and my tank green. I just bought a new wiring harness form mikes and it is black and large. I am going with a custom bratsyle look so I am lowering the seat frame a little and going with a peanut custom tank. I am concerned about the harness looking all janky...

So I'm geting ready to wire my 72 xs650 chopper I built and the problem I'm having is when I took it out of the stock frame I cut all the wires off so I need all new ones. All I'm running is a brake, tail, and headlight and whatever other wires I need to make the bike run. What do you guys...

I'm looking for a B, C or D wiring diagram and an E diagram. Something more legible than the manual. I'm trying to integrate 1975 controls (B, C or D...the digram should be the same) into a 1978 wiring harness (E model, NOT SE). I'd like to have a copy of each I could print out and use to...
