this guy shows nothing about bypassing the relay. So generally with the type of relay he shows in the thumb nail you would remove the relay from the plug connector then turn key to ON, then a bridge pin 30 to pin 87 or 87a if its a 5pin relay with pin 87a. use at least a 3 - 4mm gauge wire about a foot long. maybe even add a 10 amp fuse in the middle of the wire for safety reasons depending on what your powering up. remember the 2 other relay terminals 86 & 85 are what activates the relay to turn it on, so dont bridge anything into them because one of them is positive ignition feed and the other is a negative earth feed in most cases. in some other cases relays can be wire up in different ways to operate an earth feed and not a positive feed. hope this helps someone.
i have a drag quad im rebuilding, it has the kawasaki zx-10 engine in it. the previous owner just ran gavity fed fuel system. will this be a problem to run and why?
No it won't be a problem. The only reason that some bikes have fuel pumps is the design of the tank, which in most cases , the place where the fuel comes out of the tank is lower than the carbs so there is a need for a fuel pump to pump it up to the carbs. The relay he's referring to is there as a safety device. The relay only sends power to the pump if the engine is running. So in the event that you get into an accident, the bike is laying on it's side and the engine shuts down, the fuel pump will shut off and not cause a big gas spill, (while you're laying there on the pavement in pain, you won't be drenched in a big puddle of gas) So by bypassing the relay (or not having one at all) the pump will run even after the engine dies! So if you're planning on getting into an accident, remember to always shut off the ignition before going down!! LOL
Doing this tomorrow due to original power connections don’t seem to be powering the fuel pump, fuse is good pump works when direct to battery so think relay is buggered possibly
@@robblanorman7161 sounds like you have never been stranded on the side of the road in the desert. Once you do you realize that deleting useless complexity is what gets you back on the road. P.S. Up yours
@@1cont Well, t's not useless complexity: we may not like the additional systems for whatever reason, but that's how the bike was deishned and engineered. If I was stranded I shouldn't just grab a jumper wire and bypass the relay? I should carry that big ol rigged up contraption with me?
@@robblanorman7161 here's my rule. If it causes my bike to shut down and not get me home...it's useless. If I can bypass it and get back to riding...it was useless. A bike that is not running is useless. The needless complexity keeps it from running. The whole purpose of the bike is to haul me around. If the needless complexity keeps it from hauling me around it is not serving the purpose of the motorcycle. Sorry, I'm a bit sensitive about this topic after hitchhiking to a parts store.
Really beat around the bush a bit there, bud. Just say you stole the bike, and here's how to bypass security. There's easier ways th hot wire a bike man. 😂
Yeah, good idea, replace a $30 fuel pump instead of a $7 relay. This is a real bright spark who knows so much more than the engineers employed by the OEM.
