Hi to everyone once more.........
As the title states,
i decided about a year ago, after facing a few (Critical) electrical problems to build ,reconstruct,revive ... you choose the word that suits best, the whole wiring harness.
The wire used for the job was a high grade teflon coated wire with silver plated strands bought from the US. The connectors are new type, splash proof, sumitomo's and furukawa's from Japan.
I have also rewound my stator, made new spark plug wires installed the (rare to us here) ER9EH IX spark plugs and replaced almost every incandescent bulb with leds. A volt meter has been installed as well.
There were a few more jobs done as well which i will show you ..... So....
These are spools that were used (there are more, they were on pending orders)....
Here you can see the spark plug wires.....
I had to... lets say... "modify" some older spark plug wires in order to "extract" the part that i needed...
In the following photos, you will see the connectors used for the harness....
The following photos show the beginning of the harness build....
Smaller clocks loom...(did not mess with the T10 rubber bases, could not find them anywhere on the internet as a oem part)....
Side stand switch.....
Main keyswitch / ignition....
Tail light loom....
Left hand side switchgear......
The Left hand side switchgear was later replaced by a cbr900 left hand side switchgear such as this one.....
The right hand switchgear.....
....Which was later replaced by a CBR600 right hand switchgear such as this one.....
As i said above.....leds almost everywhere....
The clocks....
.....And the tail light unit....
.....Testing of the tail light...
The stator.....a painful job...but very rewarding if done right.
Here is what it looked like before i messed with it......
The core...cleaned...
Preparations for the rewiring of the core....
The stator....FINALY....ready to be submerged in the special resin...
Submerging the stator in the resin...
The stator...ready for installation...
The volt meter .......
Thermo-switch / sensor, so that it triggers the cooling fan when the R/R reaches 46 degrees Celsius .....
Other mods....
Hand made R/R stainless steel base...
Relocating the R/R under the pillion seat ....
Hand made stainless steel V-piece mesh....
Top radiator hand made stainless steel mesh (front and rear of the rad).....
TIP: Some of you may already know it , some of you may not. If you are about to mess with teflon coated wires they do not strip the usual way.....You will need a special tool for striping teflon wire insulation.
If you do not have the money for such a tool (I did not) you can make it like i did....you will have to brake down one of these....
and make something like this....
This was a job that took almost a year to complete. It was a painful job (especially the stator) but i very much enjoyed it because i LEARNED A LOT.
Thanks for reading.
