Battery Wire Upgrade Guide [Pudding Cable Installation] - Triumph Sprint ST 1050 | Part 1 

Thanks 4 the vid 👍 After crimping the small cables you should have used a heat pistol on the insulation. They’re shrinking and you don’t have to seal them with insulation tape 😉 Cheers/Harry

When fitting these on to mine, rather than join the 2 small black earth wires I just cut the old spade terminal off the engine earth lead, that leaves the original 2 small leads crimped onto the original engine earth terminal. As It's an earth if it's cut very short it is no problem :-) great cables sorted my lazy starter motor out

The hardest part of this job, IS putting the seat screws back in.

Thanks for the video, I have a 06 sprint and it looks like there the same colour. The earlier candy Apple Red as you have. Mine has a plastic tank and I noticed I may have to remove the tank bolt like you did to replace the battery. Do you know any other ways to remove it?

Sprint GT have the same problem? Thanks

Fuck sake I wouldn't let him work on a mechano kit.

Just watched this through, I now know to also to have my glamorous assistant on hand. Nice job. I'll update when I've done mine. Pudding has posted them ..... could be a while before they land as I'm in Oz!

I need to do this on my '08 Sprint. Looks straight forward enough. Many thanks for taking the time to make and share your video.

Personally I would have capped that breather exit. Sods law dictates anything could magically jump down there and ruin yer day!

And today I got it done. Thanks for the video.

what a poor design, understood that Battery will die on you at the worse moment (Murphy's law) and you won't have time and tools to do that job. The metal tank installed after 2007 (2008 ?) has a metal clamp as a seat locator that you remove easily. I have a 2007 and a bad battery. I am pushing it though.

I did this mod today! Big difference. Cranks almost twice as fast on my sprint.

Realise this is old- but I was wondering how much easier for you ( and anyone else) if you’d just put your new leads on in parallel? Of course, I’m assuming that the bolts on any existing hardware would be long enough to cater for 2 lugs I’m looking at doing this on my 595 and I’ve been thinking ( or over thinking) about this process a bit.

Xlnt thanks mate. This will be useful .... ordering mine soon 👍🏼

I'd love to get my hands on these cables, but it turns out the Facebook admins denied my joining request as they didn't like my answers 🤷 Guess I'll try to find a seller who's not blocked by an elitist 🤷

Sweet natural background music

I noticed on my 2002 triumph sptint that the regulator/rectifiers are not the main problem but the underated alternator is. The fuel injector system is very power hungry and this puts a lot of strain on the stock alternator when all lights are on and at motorway speeds when everything is working at its hardest (electrically speaking) for prolonged periods leading to early failure. I fitted an aftermarket alternator when mine failed cooking three coils in a row within the windings, something which should not happen ever on a touring bike. (imagine this happening in the middle of a european tour!) Another weak point is the quality of the connector between the alternator and the rest of the loom. Cheap components are used which are another source of woe as they are at their capacity limit most of the time due to the demands of the fuel injection systemand not very good at keeping dirt and water out causing corrosion. This in turn puts strain on the poor regulator/rectifier which is working hard to try to keep up with the demands of the entire system overheating as it does leading, again, to early failure. Triumph took a long time to learn that lesson but now elecrtics are more reliable. PS, you've made that Job a lot harder than it needs to be, Just remove the entire seat cowl in the first place then access to everything is so much easier.

Where did you get the cables??

Buy some cable and crimp connectors on it.. it isn't rocket science...

What year is this sprint? Im about to open up mine to look for the reg/rec

finding it a challenge to disconnect the fuel line from the tank, any suggestions?

Where did you get the cables from? and the rectifier? Did it make any difference to the bike? Have been looking at buying a sprint st.

Hi Di you lave a link to buy this kit please

Waiting for my new cables to arrive, hope it improves my starting! It’s crap at the moment.

Thank you very much for this video. Really helpful. Job done :-)

That was excellent - really useful! Thanks.

5:21 most important part and is unclear and fast recorded e.e thanks for nothing

Can you tell me where do you bought the upgrade cables?

Can you recommend where to buy this cable upgrade, thanks
