Thank you, sir! Of all the various sources of info out there related to wiring the CDI/kill switch, this video breaks it down in the simplest, easiest terms to understand. Thank you for making this so clear!
This is great i appreciate the vidoe too. Alot of people are doing this now and it does help to go straight to the phone for information. Please keep it up.
I had to sub after watching the whole video from start to end bro thanks for this I got a kit from bikeberry and didn’t know how to set this up this was the last step I needed really appreciate the content going to look at what else u have lol 🤘🏾👍🏾
Thank you been watching a lot of your videos, helps out a lot, first timer , been able to get it running but seems to die, trying figure it out , spark -air fuel been there done that idk what up .
The black motor wire connects to the black wire on the CDI (ignition) box. It's the ground wire (negative). The blue wire from the motor connects to the blue wire of the CDI box. It's the positive wire. The throttle wire has 2 little colored wires. You can either connect one of them to the blue wire or both of them, by splicing them together, etc.
Thanks, bud. My clutch thanks you too. Had some bad noise events using the manual shut-off method. 😖 Nice metal during the Samantha Stevens speed-up spell segment, btw. 😝
I use the white wire for the killer switch blue or red will be direct from "cdi" to magneto ... also I use a BPR7HS (no contact with the piston) spark plug with a 0.75mm gap
@@charleneblack2792 when you stop just squeeze the brake and let the clutch out it'll shut right off. You don't need to squeeze the brake but if you don't the bike will move forward a few inches
Hey if you have the white wire to touching the engine can it cause it not to run? Please let me know some helpful tips it only runs when I rivet when I don’t rivet it dies
Digging the videos man but I gotta question Where I want to mount my cdi the wires don't reach is it a good idea to extend the wiring and what kind of wires should one use if so thanks 😀
Mount the CDI so the spark plg wire fits and add in 18ga stranded or solid wire. I'll sell you the wire and some solid connectors or you can source yourself. hughesmotorized.com/upgrade-ignition-electrical-connections-motorized-bike/ just email me how much wire you need if you order and I'll hook you up
My motor came with everything connected, except for the Kills switch ., The kill switch has 1 black and 1 blue wire with connecting heads on the wires, but my 4 stroke motor is all covered . I don’t see a cdi or anything and this is my 1st gas motorized anything. I don’t see any wires coming from the motor with the female ends on them to push the wires in.
Look at the top right of the engine. You'll see the spark plug wire and just underneath it you'll see a wire. That one can be hooked up to the kill switch. If the wire is connected to a switch, you can use that switch to kill the engine or you can tie that wire to the kill switch (either wire) then the other wire coming back from the switch can be connected to the case on the lower right of the engine. All is required to kill the engine is provide an electrical path of the wire just under the spark wire to the engine case and you'll kill the engine
I think zi found it , my motor has a off/on switch on the body of the motor. 1 wire is black and the other is yellow, the yellow wire looks like it’s ran to the body of the motor. Did I find it ?
@@WinstonMyers-il5dl You found it. All it does is provide a path to the case and shorts out that wire. You can splice a wire to the throttle switch and use either one. Just make sure the switch on the body is set back to on to run
I'd like to add that it is quite possible that the wire colors do not always correspond to how they need to be wired up. I bought 2 new CDI units and a new magneto before I eventually thought about reversing the connections so that blue went to black instead of blue to blue and black to black. After doing that I got spark working. I just assumed that the wires were colored properly from the factory and that it was just my bad luck that I paid for non working parts. And due to the cheapness of them, that they were chinese made, and my experience with buying direct from China that I should expect faulty goods. But the wrong colors were a new one for me. Now my issue is a weak yellow spark that has (lol) to be a bad wire issue causing that problem. So I'm going to replace the entire wiring harness assembly entirely. And solder each connection instead of using Spade terminals etc .. I'm currently trying to discern what guage of wire will work best. Any help on that front would be appreciated. I knew going in that frequent maintenance and replacing various parts would be a regular routine but not the 3 weeks of use then this problem which has frustrated me no end and I've left it sitting now for about a year since it last ran. I've exhausted everything except the replacement wiring after which if that doesn't increase spark strength I only have the magneto magnets left to replace or try yet another seller for a quality CDI magneto setup. I've found no difference between the so called high performance ones with red wiring for the plug other than cost and color. I don't think quality parts are even made at all for these bikes unless the sheer volume of junk part sellers has so dwarfed them that is almost impossible to find one anymore. As I'm sure the bad seller just makes a new account when they've destroyed the reputation of one so much that no one buys anymore.
Also want to add that I'm fixing to start on my bike and motor project here soon,hoping I don't have problems,lol!!I'll be using mine for going into town and fun. I really do wish you good luck on your bike and also don't listen to all those a-holes. What you buy and build is yours!!I wish I could help you sir but I'm way behind on any no how on these things lol!! I'm very new to this. God bless you and yours and good luck
@@andrewgonzalez4230 Yeah i do it as slow as i could, what could it break? This dude that i like is pluggin connectors that will do the job so much better than stock if you want to use them. I feel I should not have even brought it up here but it does make a neater bike and your magneto does not have to push current up and down those long wires, only direct short wires to cdi.
i have 3 motorized bikes, i have never bothered using the kill switch. i know its fun for kids to have the button, but i prefer the simplicity, plus i suspect that shorting out the spark wire is asking for trouble from the cdi and magneto. you really dont need it anyway.
@@EliWagnon sometimes i choke it out yes, but usually i stall it, btw the clutch can take loads of slipping, infact the pads don't even wear down in my experience. sometimes i pin it full throttle burnout and stall it that wayto turn it off. have you tried doing a burnout? its fun and challenging, stand over the bike both feet on the floor, hold front brake and try to get rear wheel to spin. its fun!
Ah. A electronics tech with over 40 yrs experience that kill switch is a very bad idea what you really wanna do is a series switch in line with either the black or red wire because with electronics in CDI you going to burn out the transistor that pulses the ignition coil and also short power from magneto coil and both parts are going to go bad a lot faster why I am saying this is because after diagnosis with a multi meter found that happened to me it's doing the same as saying I wanna shut off my lamp Soo just short out the outlet dugh no don't use this method

Thanks alot hughes for a very simple straightforward explanation!!
You're doing the lord's work
Adios 😂! Great drawing. Good explanation. Thanks for the Wago wiring info.
Thank you, man working on our OCC chopper build helped out a lot
Glad I could help
Thanks man. The manual was useless. Someone hand drew a picture of wires
Thank you been watching a lot of your videos, helps out a lot, first timer , been able to get it running but seems to die, trying figure it out , spark -air fuel been there done that idk what up .
Adjust idle? Fouled plug? too much oil in premix? (should be 3.2 oz per gallon)

Glad it helped. Momma told me when I was young "No one will ever find ya handsome son. So make sure some will find ya handy"
Your video was helpful thanks
I don't usually use the kill switch but my chain broke once while I was going about 35mph so it's nice to have just in case
If you don't have a kill switch, how to you turn it off? I'm not mechanically inclined, so I'm genuinely curious.
@@charleneblack2792 when you stop just squeeze the brake and let the clutch out it'll shut right off. You don't need to squeeze the brake but if you don't the bike will move forward a few inches
@@charleneblack2792he is basically stalling the engine to shut it off
You made my day. Ty ty my man
I remember now the white wire is to run a light
It does make sense though, the white wire taking in power. I will Make sure to get rid of that wire. Thank you!
Hey if you have the white wire to touching the engine can it cause it not to run? Please let me know some helpful tips it only runs when I rivet when I don’t rivet it dies
white wire is hot. hot and ground no good.
Thanks so much was more than helpful
thanks for making the video ^^
My pleasure!
Great idea, thanks!
My killswitch frayed, am i able to fix it instead of buying a new kill switch?

Hey Jean how much is it starter kit Lego I have a 80cc high performance
You have to buy the engine that is made for an electric start
Why if you said go ahead cut the white wire why do have there in frost place?
These components were sourced from existing products and have several applications
Eugene, I do not run a kill switch because i believe shorting a magneto to shut the engine is harmful to the magneto.
Am I wrong?
I knew I forgot something in the vid. You are good. I don't use one on my daily runner. Just stop the bike an kill the engine.
What's the recommended way of killing the engine without using the kill switch? I release the clutch, as smoothly as possible. Is that bad for it?

Kill switches will burn out the coil, it would be better to have a toggle switch on the earth or the live wire to stop the circuit.
My motor want fire
Thank u sir. U explain this is suck a way. It makes it easy for my dumbass.
