Thanks!
This is the first part of wiring my bike. I first start with replacing a faulty stator. I noticed it had a short circuit while I was making my video of how to check your electrical components (watch it here: • Wiring a motorbike (or... )
There will be more parts on this topic since I can't put it all in one video.
- The distribution block is a Blue Sea distribution block. Please just Google it to find the easiest way to find it in your country.
- The thickness of the cables are mentioned in my second part of the 'basics' video. Link here: • Wiring a motorbike (or...

I think you greatly underestimated the value of producing and sharing this information. The all inclusive approach is spot on and leaves no gaps or doubts about the process. Great job. I will refer back to this often.

Been watching this from the beginning. It’s the education reasons I watch. TRV does a good job with the diagrams, but having a video is much more valuable to me. Don’t shorten the wiring videos, this is what I have been waiting for.

@singerray1 5 лет назад

These are some really great videos, my friend. In my opinion, they are the best on RU-vid when it comes to this kind of sharing. I have a suggestion, anyone can take it or leave it but on the coil side of the solenoid (with the small nuts), It's wired this way, one of the small of the terminals goes to positive feed and the other small terminal goes to the momentary starter switch. (which in most cases grounds the circuit) when pushed completing it and causing the solenoid to activate.. Some solenoids have a copper connector going from one of the large terminals and it goes to the small terminal right next to it...the big wire (always hot high amperage battery cable) from the battery goes to this one, so it makes one side of the small terminal aways hot as well. When I wire a bike from scratch I use a 12-volt red LED (polarity observed) in the solenoid - starter switch circuit on the low amperage wire coming from the starter switch to the solenoid coil terminal. It's a simple thing to do, and it lets me know instantly if there is something wrong in that circuit If anyone sees a problem with doing this please let me know. But if anyone thinks it's a good idea...well please let me know as well. :) Keep up the good work Chiefpep. "Bob's your uncle."

@chiefpepdesign 5 лет назад

Hi Ray. Thank you so much for your compliment and your suggestion. It sounds really interesting. Although I think I have to read your suggestion two more times I think when I consider to this, I think I understand it will be some sort of 'all systems ok' dashboard light but then under the seat. Right?

@singerray1 5 лет назад

@@chiefpepdesign Actually, I put a USB charger (fused) connected to the battery and a miniature LCD voltmeter (only about an inch in diameter) on my bikes, They make some especially for motorcycles that have both the USB charger and a voltmeter It tells me the condition of the charging circuit...battery, stator, rectifier, fuses etc. at a glance. They just may keep me from being stranded somewhere I don't want to be with a dead battery. Usually, I install the voltmeter on the left side cover on the top if it's flat there (they come with a rubber flap which keeps the water out.) That's where I sometimes put the starter button too on the left side cover (under the left side cover) on the bottom out of sight. The USB chargers and the voltmeter can be bought on eBay for a song, as can the green or red 12-volt high amp leds.. The best part is if the led ever goes bad it shorts so there will still be current flow when you hit the starter button and I'll know that it's just a bad led cause that is all it could be.. You see the LED in line with starter button circuit can be mounted on the top of left side cover as well. Red or green your choice and it only lights when there is current flow to the solenoid. You can put it all USB and LCD voltmeter and the 12-volt led on a bike for around $15.00 to $20.00. Well worth it.

@1stoneOf8 6 лет назад

Cool video as usual...for me that would be the hardest work relating to the rebuild,(editing the video clips)! The only suggestion i have for better, cleaner looking wiring with minimal future trouble, would be: get more heat shrink tubing, and use it instead of tape wherever possible! Heat shrink tubing is relatively inexpensive, comes in any length, many different colors, sizes, thickness, and etc... It helps to keep the connections and wiring more secure, more water and outside environment resistant, and it won't unravel or leave any sticky residue anywhere. (when you think about it...tape really does suck!) Heat shrink tubing is to electrical wiring like a sunny day and winding back roads are for motorcycling! Keep up the great work! Enjoy!

@chiefpepdesign 6 лет назад

Ron Vail You are completely right. To be honoust I forgot them on the negative 10 gauge wires... I am considering to solder them loose and do them again... And now that you mention it and saw it, I will. I'll give you a shoud out in my next vid when I mention the topic ;)

@davidholtz8301 3 года назад

How how do you match the wires when the color codes don't match older bike after market switches

@chiefpepdesign 3 года назад

I kind of do the same in my video's. De the switches don't match the bike. But obiously, they do the same. They let the positive feed through, or they close the feed. That's it. You can put any wire in that gives positive current. So basically what you need to do is for instance, find the headlight positive lead, and connect that to the switch of the light. Then it just needs positive current from the other side. Very best is to just watch this video and really don't skip it and watch it to the end. Take a cup of coffee, or a beer, and just watcht it carefully. You will be so much more confident afterwards ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m2cGSZlpznc.html

En heb je achteraf dezelfde terug gebruikt of alles nieuw geplaatst ? Keep up the good work !! Je kunt bijna genieten van je project ! grtzz

@chiefpepdesign 6 лет назад

Hi Kenneth. Ik meen dat ik dat bij de demontage video's over de video vertel. Ik haal alle lagers eruit behalve de krukaslagers. Ik vervang ze ook allemaal voor nieuwe. Ik ben toch met revisie bezig dus waarom niet... Het luistert heel nauw om krukaslagers weer terug te plaatsen vandaar dat ik die laat voor wat ze zijn. Je kunt lagers laten zitten, maar dan moeten ze wel extreem goed worden afgeplakt. Als je kijkt naar mijn fotoalbums op mijn facebook pagina zie je daar foto's van mijn vorige project. Bij die liet ik ook mijn blok wetblasten en heb ik bepaalde lagers laten zitten. Daar zie je hoe Van Ginneken ze heeft afgeplakt. Succes!

Hey, great video on wiring! My question is where do you get your colored-wires and wire connectors kit from?

@chiefpepdesign 4 года назад

I am from Holland so I guess it doesn't really make sense to mention the Dutch shops. It's a mix of several shops. These are just sorting boxes from the Home Depot. I use as I mention in the start of the video that these are AMP superseal connectors. The wires I collect from several online shops (mainly Dutch). Most of the time I go to car audio online shops. They have the nicest and broadest choices in my opinion. Also Marine (watersport) shops are very nice to have a look at. For instance the Blue Sea distribution block comes from a Marine shop.

@ThePoetandThePeople 4 года назад

Chiefpep Thanks a lot!

@mcrand7887 6 лет назад

This is the most interesting part (Electrical) for me to watch, this is going to be a benchmark for me to follow. Very simply explained and you are doing a Very fine work. is that the fuse box or a M-Unit, you mounted? what gauge wires are you running to do the overall wiring (besides 2 main ground and + from battery.) I see you have fixed Airpods filters to carbs, what are the dimensions (size) of it? I am always looking forward for your next episode. Thank you.

@chiefpepdesign 6 лет назад

Hi Nirjan. No it's not a M-Unit. It's just a distribution bus and fuse box. The distribution bus is very handy since a lot of wires need the same source. And, you need a fuse box anyway so why not combine both. It's from Blue Sea. You can Google it. The gauges vary. I like to use the most thick ones (the thick ones for ground and secondary part of the Solenoid) are 10 Gauge. The next would be 14 and thinest 16. I try to use the same thickness as the original harnas tells me. Otherwise I use the Gauge overview of Dan (aka totallyredvirago) of the Virago forum. You can use that sheet. In most cases you use 14 gauge for positive in to something that needs feed.

@chiefpepdesign 6 лет назад

Charrel Slokker Durf ik niet te zeggen. Ik vermoed dat je wel echt iets aan je sproeierbezetting moet doen. Ik breng hem voor de fijnafstelling altijd naar Mobu Motors. Daar gaat hij op de Dynojetbank en worden de sproeiers indien nodig ook vervangen. Maar de filters kosten bijna niks dus je kunt ze zonder dat het je een rib uit je lijf kost gewoon eens proberen. Kijken hoe de motor reageert. Ik ben ook wel benieuwd.

@mustenternamegooglenonsens1713 3 года назад

You've inspired me! why did you choose to use tape 15.30 on the solenoid wiring rather than shrink wrap all the way?

@chiefpepdesign 3 года назад

1) This keeps the wire more flexibel to route it. And 2) it would take a lot sleeve and 3) this looks better imo... More 'technical' instead of 'slick' in a negative way.

Hey Pep! At 12:02, you create a ground/negative cable from the battery to the distribution box. But your Distribution is already grounded to the frame. My question for you, does the battery - or distribution box - require a negative/ground wire connection to each other (battery to distribution box)? Or can both the battery and distribution box just have their own grounds to the frame? Asking because my battery and distribution box are far from one another. Thank you in advance for reading and replying.

@chiefpepdesign 3 года назад

The ground is very weak on this bike. Since my distribution box spreads all the wires to the bike I make sure in this way the best possible ground is made.

Hi sir I’m a big fun with channel… watching from NY and I have a bike Kawasaki kz650 sr that I’m trying to re-wired using a moto gadget any video from ur channel I could watch… thank you and god bless

@chiefpepdesign Месяц назад

I don't like moto gadget. Costs a lot of money and basically does nothing special. You still have to connect the wires (like I do without the gadget).

Try to lift the harnes and see where what touches the frame. Can only be a short circuit.

Is there any possible way where we can use this stator as a motor to help the engine in moving the wheel? I'm thinking if we apply enough reverse voltage we might be able to make a hybrid motorcycle?

@chiefpepdesign 4 года назад

I don't think so...

@JH09SUMIT 4 года назад

@@chiefpepdesign What might be the reason? If we apply enough voltage.. Won't it work as a motor to rotate the crank?

@chiefpepdesign 4 года назад

@@JH09SUMIT First; those magnets are way to small for enough power, second, we need the stator to generate voltage, third, where are you going to collect your power from?

@chiefpepdesign 6 лет назад

jickel dagala I am sorry but it is too hard for me to advice you from such a distance... Could be so much. But it sounds like a bad wire. Check the coil lead first. That could be bad...

Hi there my key wires was cut inadvertently where do I put it back its two wires

@chiefpepdesign 5 лет назад

That's just a loop. It's a plus wire which now it 'cut'... Follow my sceme. Then you'll find it. I also mention it.

Do you think getting an M-unit is not worth it then? Better to just rework the wiring and connectors?

@chiefpepdesign 6 лет назад

Theo If you feel comfortable with wires 'n stuff: FOR SURE!

@spraylondon 6 лет назад

Well I'm completely new to it all but getting the hang of it. At the moment I'm just trying to get the bike running so I can get a feel of it. I've managed to get power back but now nothing happens when I hit the ignition switch, I've replaced the starter solenoid but still nothing. The ignition switch is in terrible state but I assumed if I made the connection from the wires themselves i would get some sort of ignition. Anyways I'm still troubleshooting the old loom for now, slow progress...

@chiefpepdesign 6 лет назад

The M unit is only for the lights and horns... This won't solve anything. The rest is basically my 'part 2 of 2' barebone video. You could try and wire it up like that... If you have the time and patience offcourse. It's always easier said than done.

@spraylondon 6 лет назад

Ah, thanks a lot for the heads up! M-unit doesn't save that much space then! hehe

@ethansherer8837 5 лет назад

What does grounding your starter do? I’m working on an XV750 myself and was curious because mine has no ground.

@chiefpepdesign 5 лет назад

Well, the starter needs a plus and minus (positive and negative) in order to work. It get's it positive straight from the solenoid, but the negative is from the engine (ground). It's just pressed to the engine with the two long Philiphead bolts (I replaced them for alllans). That ground is not enough. It's very weak. Therefore a lot of starter motors rotate not so strong and fast due to the weak negative/ground. If you give it a strong straight to the starter negative, this is solved. I explain this in the dedicated video on starter motor problems. You should watch it to better understand it.

Just look at my video where I discuss the main components you need to start your engine. It's the video about 'testing your electrical components'. Of you hook these up, which I do and explain in the video's after, all will work.

That seat release is cool - what bike is that off of?

@chiefpepdesign 5 лет назад

I don't know... It came off the scrapyard... I think it's from a racebike. Like a GSX-R or something. They have those plastic seatcovers with such a system

@absurity 6 лет назад

My virago stator reads 1 ohms on all the connectors, but the manual says it needs to be 0.5. Does this mean my stator needs to be replaced?

@chiefpepdesign 6 лет назад

absurity Well everything between 0.1 and 1.0 Ohms is ok. The lower the better. What you could check is the part where the wires come out of your engine. They often had a horrible life at that point since the sidepanel comes off and on there. The wires get crushed if you don't watch out. It's exactly the spot which I re-taped in my video. If some of those wires are cut, then the resistance goes up...

@absurity 6 лет назад

Makes sense. After I watched this video, I looked at the wires closely and one was very exposed. I tapped it. You're the best! Have you thought about selling stickers, t shirts, and other merchandise? I have bought stickers from all the youtubers that have helped me out with their videos.

@chiefpepdesign 6 лет назад

absurity Will consider that. Thanks!

@chiefpepdesign 4 года назад

It's of a sportsbike. Every sportsbike has such a device in the rear seat to lock rather a) the solo seat cover or b) your passenger seat. You can buy them new on CMSNL or used at any scrapyard.
