Tim wired my fj1200 chop from scratch. It’s one of the best wiring jobs I’ve seen! Thanks again Tim👍

Brilliant job. Really helps to explain the one bit of bike mechanics everyone hates! Will watch again a couple of times but I understand better already. Thanks blackjack

thanks, it's very helpful to understand wiring and how it is broken down into circuits.

I've recently lost everything in my life.And all I have is this old Kawasaki.And motivation to get to work and I am rewiring it from scratch and having one hell of a time, I can't get any assistance and all I have.Is this YouTube video Wish me luck.

Thank you. Thank you so God, d*** much. You have no idea how long I've been looking for a man like you with a video like this.

Smashing explanation, a lot easier to follow when you divide it up like that, am I right in thinking that with that simplified wiring the lights would be permanently on?

[johnjamieson]

That's great. Consider doing one about half wave 4 pin reg/recs? That's the one bit different on some pit bikes, and bikes with Chinese pit engines (lifan/cub). There's not 3 yellow wires coming from an alternator, but one yellow and one white to get your 12v from. I THINK I've got it sussed now, but if I had a how to vid like that, it would have made things a lot easier.

I got a black wire that come of the starter when key is turned on it is hot do i need to run it to the copper side of me 30 amp breaker thats were i have my rectifier going to anything info would help

[touchpointpropertymanageme]

On my reg/rec, besides the wires that go to my stator, there are 3 wires coming off it which I assume one is for ground and other goes to starter solenoid.... But I don't know what the 3rd one is for. Can you explain what that's for?

[raymondgarafano]

May I suggest putting a fuse between RR and Battery? I just had an experience when the RR's
hot wire to battery shorted inside the RR and ran the battery down very quickly. Thusly I am going
to put an inline fuse between the RR and harness up to the battery as the circuit breaker possibly
being 31 yrs old never opened up as it should have.

The starter won't stop cranking by beader stardid smoking I took the ground wire off to stop it

[dannyweston]

So what does the white wire on the reg/rec do?

[paddy]
