Hi man! Happy that it helps. I was super overwhelmed when starting the whole process of planning the wiring and trying to understand how everything works together. So, hopefully this helps. I definitely gained a much better understanding, which helps a lot because this week I’m wiring up everything on the bike. The video should be out during the next days.
@@MotoWrenchers Cable size needs to increase with length of run, but that's not an issue on a bike. There are a number of online resources available, which can give different results, but a minimum of 4mm seems common, with 6mm offering more peace of mind. The principle is that the 30A fuse should be the weakest link, and that's a fairly substantial current. Also think about cable sizes for the other parts of the circuit, as that sort of fault load will be coming from somewhere ! I shall watch with interest :)
Thanks for your reply! For the final wiring I actually used a 6mm wire on the bike. Just used the 2,5mm for the bench test. And downsized the fuse to 30. I really appreciate you pointing that out 🙏 I hope it helps someone reading this who might otherwise not watch the actual wiring video.
That is a very useful and explanatory video. Thank you for sharing this. I have a 1979, BMW R45 and it in my plans to upgrade it with m.unit and eveything. My only concern is about the ignition, starter etc. since I have absolutely no idea how the system works...
This video might help you to understand the ignition and charging system parts and how they work together: th-cam.com/video/FSAJciIFeRM/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=RMSTATOR
@@MotoWrenchersI think we all have to thank you here for the effort you put into your videos and the knowledge and DIY platform you offer us all... 🙏🏻
The initial power to aux was my biggest issue. Took a while to work it out when I installed the unit on my Harley a few years ago. Glad you mentioned this important step. It’s also an important step if you delete the app and need to set it all up again. Great vid!! Thanks. Good luck to all whom want to run this incredible piece of technology.
That's a good tip, thanks a lot. I still need to set up the app once the bike is completely finished. All the parts are at the powder coater at the moment. I'll get them back next week. Can't wait to put everything back together. Also, thanks for your kind words. Always ride safe my friend!
You're very welcome, thank you for the comment. I'm happy it helps. It's a simple step but it helped me so much to properly understand it. Also, it helped to get a few practice crimps, etc. in.
everything clean, ok, but the unit looks to me like a set of house wiring connectors (mammoet), what about water resistance? there is no crimping at the terminals, wires are hold by a clip to the unit...I see it not very durable
I need to see how it holds up. So many people install munits and I almost never heard any complaints. But you're right, water from the top might actually be a problem where I located it. For that reason I just 3D printed a cover for it that protects it from the front, the sides, and the top.
Hey man, unfortunately I have no experience with that. But I’m sure either Motogadget or the manufacturer of the powertronic are happy to help you. Good luck!
@@MotoWrenchers Thanks a lot for your kind reply. But I would suggest you to fit m unit on interceptor 650 and connect powertronic in it and make interceptor a streamline caferacer and upload a video on TH-cam. This will help us alot. Thankyou again....
That mo.Button is just amazing, allows for such a clean wiring setup. Thanks for showing us how it's done!
Yeah, both Motogadget parts make it so easy. I’m happy that I went for it. Gonna start the actual wiring process tomorrow.
@@MotoWrenchers They're not cheap, but the time saved might actually make it worth it! Looking forward to seeing the complete wiring.
Super useful to have some FRESH videos on this Unit, it's so hard to find out how people do it, especially on more modern bikes. Thanks for sharing

@MotoWrenchers can't wait to watch it. Your moto button video was really useful too
@MonsieurFromLondon thanks mate, means a lot to me
A 2.5mm conductor in series with a 30A fuse is optimistic. That cable will get pretty warm before the fuse blows.

This guy deserves more subscribers.!

Thanks for the feedback, my friend!
I have no experience with hooking up the original ignition system to the munit but I’m sure it works well.

Thank you for the very clear test and the detailed information in the video and the description.
You’re very welcome. Thank you for the support my friend! I can’t thank you enough.

Das ist ja mal ultra clean.
Ja man! Die MUnit macht das ganze Setup sehr clean

How to connect powertronic with M-Unit on Royal Enfield interceptor 650???

@dualstand1406 my next project might actually be a cafe racer. Are you turning your interceptor into a cafe racer?
@@MotoWrenchers yeah I want to but I want you to do that so that I would be guided well
