All sorted lads, BIG THANK YOU.
I had wired it up wrong.
Diode in the bin. Wires swapped around and all as normal.
When I first wired the lamp up I thought as I got the bulb to light up dimly and flash that the wiring sequence I had was correct. Oh no. Lesson learnt.
Cheers guys saved...
The headlight came with no plug just wires.
Red yellow and blue. I'll try a diff wire config tonight and see. Let's hope this works as I don't fancy running the diode.
Sorry I didn't mention Make and year as nothing from that bike has been used apart from alternator, rectifier, and igniter. But it's a 1979 Kawasaki z650
I'm using a Chinese eBay headlamp with a dual filament head light bulb
Wiring is an ultima small all in one job.
When plumbing this in, I...
Working my way through my project and I'm at the stage where I'm trimming all my wires to length and crimping terminals on etc.
This is a full rewire using aftermarket lights and switches.
My headlight has 3 wires, ground, low beam and high beam. When lights are off and I hit the flasher...
Right. I have a custom frame, using a hydraulic rear caliper.
No foot pegs mounted yet.
I don't have any vertical parts of the frame to mount a rear brake master cylinder to, I have one centralised tube that is the backbone of the frame, and inset too far for me to mount the cylinder...
I'm using the ultima plus wiring kit.
I, like you was overcome looking at my old harness and didn't know where to start to renew the thing and simplify it. I got the stock harness for the bike in a bin bag so trying to work out what plug went where too hours of fun.
In the end I looked at...
Speedo is cheap China rubbish.
I've sorted it now, opened the speedo up, desoldered the earth leg of the neutral LED. And soldered a wire onto the leg and connected that to the neutral switch. Job done.
New issue now is my headlight and tail light.
The handle bar switch I have doesn't have...
This the ultima plus wiring section for the idiot lights.
This is my speedo
Idiot light Ground wire
Indicator wire x2
Illumination live wire
Illumination earth wire
Oil pressure wire
High beam wire
The idiot lights can share a 12v but with only one ground out of my speedo I can't get it to work, It's bugging me right off now.
I've tried running power into the ground of the speedo and then using the the idiot wires as switched ground but it won't work. The leds only light up when the...
Sorry to sound dumb but can you explain a little more for me about splitting the ground.
I have one ground wire coming from speedo and if that's not grounded constantly then the indicator and high beam idiots lights won't work.
Where would I split it?
If I wire it the same was as you then it works but the main beam and indicator idiot lights won't work when im out of neutral and riding as all 3 idiot lights share the 1 earth.
My aftermarket speedo has idiot lights built in. They all share one earth and are switched on with the live supply.
My neutral switch is closed/no current passes through when in neutral. And it's open current passes through when out of neutral.
How the hell do I get the poxy idiot light...
It's a Kawasaki z650 1979 c3 but the standard loom has been binned as it was a royal mess.
I am Using an ultima plus wiring kit which was doing silly things with turn signals and not operating like it should so I've just supplied the indicator switch with a 12v supply which my relay is wired...
I'm running 4 led turn signals.
I've bought a 2 pin led flasher relay, Installed it and it's not working right.
When I'm not using turn signals lights are off.
When i use left or right turn signal the corresponding signals dimly light up and flashes brighter. It doesn't go off and on...
Im in the process of trial fitting the ultima plus wiring to my frame and switches etc.
Im building a custom chop and most parts have been bought off ebay so are not specific to a particular model of bike.
The engine is a kawasaki z650. Handlebar switch is an all in one off Ebay.
The...
