You should connect the ground to the negative terminal on the battery. Grounds should be at the first point available and you've doubled the length of your ground lead to ground somewhere else. Plus, there's no better ground than the neg terminal, especially if it's very close. Also, and only because you said to place the fuse "in the middle", I wanted to point out to others that you don't really want the fuse in the middle of the wire. The closer the fuse is to the battery, the more likely it is for the fuse to do it's job if there's a short, as it lessens the amount of wire before the fuse which can short without the safety of a fuse. Not trying to be "that guy", just thought I'd share some tips. Thanks for the video!

Hey Kat Mech, I am again in need of your great wisdom. 1990 Kat 600, Vance and Hines 4to1. Just ultrasonic cleaned and rebuilt the carbs, but I still have a weird mid-range misfire... Measured the header temps with an IR thermometer (at idle) and found that header #2 is only getting to 195*F while the other pipes are getting to 500*F. Did a compression test and all 4 cylinders were making relatively similar compression. Tested the wire/plug and was getting a baby little spark out of #2. Took a look inside the #2 plug boot and the contact that grips the spark plug looked brand new. The other 3 plug boot contacts look grayed. Voltage to coils is sitting just over 11V. Coil relay mod? New coils? I'm at a loss. Always appreciate your wisdom. Thank you.
Theirs a few things I’d check. Make sure the holes that allow excess water to leave the spark plug area are clean (check my spark plug video). Then I’d swap everything between the spark plugs and the coils and making sure the spark plug is contacting clean metal. After that I’d throw in the coil relay mod to increase the voltage a little.
@@suzukikatanamechanic5842 I'm going to do exactly that. Drain holes are dirty but not blocked. The contact area where the plug tightens to the engine look a little grimy but ok. Any recommendations on how to clean that area without stuff falling into the combustion chamber? Thank you.
I can’t remember for sure. The original harness uses quite thin wires. I believe they might have been 12 or 14. That being said I always used a slightly thicker gauge everywhere I had to rewire which was most of the harness because of rodent damage. I believe I was using mostly 8 and or 10 for everything I redid. The main thing when choosing wire sizes for this is to not go thinner. I like to go 1-2 sizes thicker at most if I think the wires are too thin for long term durability.
Hello, according to Haynes' manual, the 1998 to 2006 spark plugs firing order is 1243, is yours the same and also what colour wier plugs into the left coil is it the orange and white on top connecter and right side black and yellow top connecter

Or anything else you could think of? Any help is appreciated
@@jakobrandolph3126 could be a few things. The spark is so weak it’s not working, valves are so off it won’t fire, way too much fuel, too little fuel etc. I would recommend starting by swapping parts around.

If you’re able to get a different cylinder to not fire you found the issue.

As long as the relay is strong enough and reliable enough, it should be fine. You have 2 positive wires that go to the coils from the relay and 2 grounds from the bike (you can keep using the original if their in good shape). 1 of the original positives that connected to the coil now goes to the relay (this tells the relay when to fire.

It could be quite a few things. When I had this happen I first bypassed all the wiring and tried to get the starter to work. If it works you'll have to track down where in the wiring problem is. It could easily be the starter relay.
Hi dose the relay have to be the same as yours or will a smaller one do the job?? I have a 1993 gsx750f and it just won’t fire . It’s getting fuel but the spark is very weak so weak that I can hold the screw driver that I’ve put in the lead
It depends on what the relay is rated to take. It might do the job but I would always use a relay that someone else recommends. Its one of those parts where their are plenty of bad ones on the market.
Hard to say, could be you damaged some wiring, didn’t plug something in all the way, got water inside the cylinders/ on the plugs, etc. Check your spark plugs and clean them. Might help.
I'm going to use a transistor to control the power and a voltage booster well I had one its gone now but it had shitty cold start and also I had it running on 2 cylinders for gas mileage but it don't help when going 70
lol, first time I’ve heard of someone running on 2 cylinders for this reason. I’d imagine that alone would make it hard for the bike to start up when cold.
The orange/white going to the coils is a constant power with key and kill switch on, the other wire is flipped to ground when the cdi wants the coils to fire
I had my katana stolen they cut ignition wires and I hooked a battery charger up to the bike to try start it on wires together alone and I am not getting anything could it be needs power of a charged battery or is it the volts it's reading are to high to low or main fuse any ideas?
@@damyonchrysler7818 this could be any number of problems. First check if the battery is able to hold enough charge to do anything. Then I would check fuses to see if any have issues. After that I would look at a wiring diagram to make sure you connected the ignition wires correctly. Then I would start by checking the volts going through different parts of the harness to see where the issue is. Old katanas frequently have issues at the switches themselves so I’d test to see if the starter button is actually able to complete a circuit along with the kill switch. Then check if the starter is able to turn over by connecting the battery directly to the starter. Could always be a starter relay problem too. Considering the ignition wires were cut I’d say the most likely problem is you didn’t connect them together properly.
Hello, I have a suzuki katana 2006 gsxf 600 I want to put down my motor and take more strength, my friend told me to put a cdi 2 step that you sell it or not, thank you
I have not heard of that before. However, you can only get so much power out of a Suzuki Katana engine and having a different CDI setup will only help a little bit. If your looking for more power but want to keep the same bike, I recommend you put a bandit 1200 engine in. Most modifications increase power slightly but the difference is often negligible. Otherwise, if you want more power I recommend a different bike.

@@robinhood5260 You should buy a used wiring harness and start by removing unnecessary wires. Then you should bypass other wires like the side stand relay by just connecting the wires. Finally you'll have to cut everything down to the size you want each individual wire.
Sorry to burst your bubble Buuuuuuut relays only act as a switch they don't increase voltage, only transformers do that either step up the voltage or step it down.
They don't increase which is correct, but in old bikes such as mine, the wires don't carry the same voltage anymore. This relay installs new wires that bring it back to original spec.

any way you can send me a wiring diagram for the relay setup
I don't have a wiring diagram for one but I'm sure you can find one online. Their fairly common and pretty straightforward to install.

Sorry to burst your bubble Buuuuuuut relays only act as a switch they don't increase voltage, only transformers do that either step up the voltage or step it down.
They don't increase which is correct, but in old bikes such as mine, the wires don't carry the same voltage anymore. This relay installs new wires that bring it back to original spec.
Do you have email or whatsup? If you can help me out I just cant get any spark. Thanks
