    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...
    See my channel for all the other video's I've made of me building my bike.

    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.

      @JumperXxXCables ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree......I would love to set down at the PC and just watch a video on wiring for 3 hours....the more info I have the more confident I am to be able to do this correctly.

    These are some really great videos, my friend. In my opinion, they are the best on TH-cam 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

      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
      @singerray1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@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.

    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!

    Thank you for sharing. Your work is extremely tidy and I'm learning. But please consider lowering the volume of your very repetitive music. (and consider finding some music that doesn't sound like short electronic loops). I found myself having to mute large sections and potentially missing your voice over.

    • @chiefpepdesign
      @chiefpepdesign  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know. Thank you for the comment and that's mentioned a lot. This was made in a period where TH-cam got very strickt on music usage. I had to make a few music tracks myself since there weren't any real channels or platforms to get copyright free music (I am a parttime DJ aswell so I am kind of in the music too). So we TH-camrs were very hard doing our best to figure out ways to at least have some background music. If you see/watch later video's the music under my video's got more diverse and better. I also was learning as a TH-camr by testing and listening to the audience what works and what not. The editing of everything (cam angles, voice over, editing down 6 hours of footage to appr. 15 minutes, music and volume lay-over and after effects) takes about 6 to 7 hours per week. Next to working on the bike itself, a full time job and a family household with two small kids. You sometimes miss out... ;)

    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
      @chiefpepdesign  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

Ik weet het hoort niet bij deze video, maar ik heb nog een klein vraagje over je blokdemontage, want daar ben ik nu bij beland geraakt ;) Heb jij al de motorlagers gedemonteerd voor het wetblasten ? En heb je achteraf dezelfde terug gebruikt of alles nieuw geplaatst ? Keep up the good work !! Je kunt bijna genieten van je project !

    • @chiefpepdesign
      @chiefpepdesign  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

  • @mcrand7887
    @mcrand7887 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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
      @chiefpepdesign  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      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

      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.

    • @chiefpepdesign
      @chiefpepdesign  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Probably there will be a manual with your system. Furthermore you would need the wiring diagram of your bike and look at the color wires which go to keyswitch and starter button. There will be the wires you will need.

    • @chiefpepdesign
      @chiefpepdesign  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well the bolts is a question I get so often that I took that subject to my most asked question video: th-cam.com/video/i548Yz8FeCs/w-d-xo.html At 14:31 I discuss it with even reference number so you can order the whole set complete. The wire is from a car audio shop here nereby. I can't find it online but perhaps you should also search at car audio dealers. They might have them in stock!

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

    • @chiefpepdesign
      @chiefpepdesign  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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 th-cam.com/video/m2cGSZlpznc/w-d-xo.html

      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...

      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.

    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
      @chiefpepdesign  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

      Negative is ground and minus on the battery. Make sure that the negative of the battery also 'touches' the wire which is connected to your frame. So your negative distribution bus is wired straight from minus of your battery AND has a straight ground connection.
