coil relay modification question

[Guest]

I think the answer is a definite 'YES', but I'm gonna ask the question anyway...

PORT 30: fused line from battery
PORT 87: split line to power coil 1 and coil 2
PORT 85: ground directly to engine ground
PORT 86: can I use one of the two power lines (Orange/White) that is currently used for powering coil 1 or 2 (and that will be replaced by one of the two lines coming from port 87 ?

That would save me from going into the wiring harness finding the 'source' of the two Orange/White lines...

thanks

Isn't it great when you can ask a question and answer it yourself

Let me try...

What kind of oil should I use in my bike?

Rotella 15w-40

Hey that was fun..

Hi,

is there a difference in using wire that is solid copper instead of the twisted copper wires, besides of the fact that the solid copper is not so 'bendable' (if that word exists...) ?

I have some wire lying around that I used for the electricity in my house (bigger wire, solid copper)...should that work as well for the coil relay modification ?

stranded wire is better under vibration. Dont use solid house wire for your motorcycle.

He could use wire nuts to join the connections

Somehow, that just does not hit me as an advantage. :=k

I chose to do the mod with minimum impact to my harness (mine was new). If yours if crappy then disregard the link; as you would probably not want to rely on the harness at all.

Yea both options have there place. I used as little harness wire as possible and used nice thick lower gauge wire (not romex) I figured I would have best results that way, and it was worth the effort for sure.
