    Starter Motor Lead

    I am trying to change out the starter lead and main lead to from the solenoid to the battery. I was able to find the lead to the solenoid but cant seem to locate the starter lead. I dont have the tools to crimp large wire and I would rather just purchase the leads if possible already prepared. I was looking at some vendors online but cant locate the part number in any of the diagrams. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find the part number/lead?

      Thanks but I was already able to find the battery lead. Still looking for part number from solenoid to starter.

        ime not 100% but it may be part of the wiring harness.

              It's in the electrical page, but not in the diagram.
              The battery to solenoid lead is shown as #6. Go down the list to 6-2 to find the solenoid -starter lead.

              Order that part number from a local or online dealer. Brendan's in Ireland and that's a UK site

                Keep in mind that the negative cable from the battery to the back of the engine is just as important.

                  There is also a chance that you might find one at your local auto parts store. Yeah, they will tell you that they need to look up a part number, just tell them that you want to see the assortment of "universal" cables hanging on the back wall. I think the stock one is 8-gauge. Like Redman says, don't forget to check the ground cable from the back of the engine to the frame.

                    If considering "universal" battery cables, I happened to see some at a Batterys Plus store. THey stock them for use in golf carts, mostly to tie the batteys in series (or whatever). That store only had a choice of two lengths: short, and not so short. Both with eyelets. I did use one on my Honda Shadow battery.

                      Yeah I thought so too at first but that part is listed as superseded by another part number that is Lead Battery Wire (-). I have been looking online as well and I still cant find one.

                      I went to my FLAPS and found a 6 gauge cable in the lawn & garden but it is a bit short at 19". Any other suggestions would be helpful.

                        Does anyone know the length of that cable so I can purchase it elsewhere? I cant find that cable for any comparable older bikes? Whats the deal with that?

                          I've run a piece of knotted string along mine. 22-23"
                          It is probably not original.
