Newbee Electrical Questions…

[LikeyMeYommy]

I was just going to purchase this Sylvania H6024 bulb from Amazon:

What is the H4?? Never heard.

Replaced with the Sylvania H6024 bulb. Both Hi and Low beam work now. Slowly but surely, 1 bit at a time!!!

Confirmed, blinkers do stay on and seem to act as "running lights."

What's your plan on the signals to eliminate their bad wires?

 

[5twins]

Yes, then that's been added. Originals were just a turn signal with one power wire and a single filament bulb.

 

[Bountiful]

Slightly off conversation, but my question
is; if one was to remove the turn signals temporarily or permanently, and leave open connections on the loom would this negatively effect any part of the electrical system ie would the open connections require capping off or joining back into the circuit somehow?

Yes no uncapped hot wires nowhere should it connect to ground .It goes wrong
Taking out the bulb ? ?

If it affects other things depends on the wiring but probably not.affecting

Could you possibly expand on your explanation?
So I should remove the indicator earth/ground wires as well?
I’m a little confused. To be honest I can’t see a problem disconnecting and removing the signal stalks for that cafe racer look as long as the open ended female connection on the loom is maybe taped up with insulation tape, but I thought I’d better confirm this with the professionals…?

Thanks

Yeah, all four signal positive wires (2 dark green, 2 dark brown) have male bullet connectors, so the harness has female connectors left empty and don't even carry power unless the bar switch is activated (possible) so can be left as-is: so long as they are insulated. All the ground wires can simply be removed. Aside: I'd save 'em as you might decide to reuse someday

Sorry I cant do that
Wiring's and Circuits comes in many version Is this a stock wiring ? What year model ?
Should I give a short answer Yes or No and you fry up an expensive electronic component I am not aware of.
I have in some ways caused it --- jp has something above

Thanks JP!
That’s what I wanted to hear!
Yeah I intend to keep everything safely to one side ready for when I choose to return the bike to stock.
Cheers!
