    Fitting 12v battery gauge/Monitor

    That sounds a bit too technical for me, unless you can give me a link to the relay and a short guide how to wire it in? I understand if it’s hard to explain cheers buddy

    Fitting 12v battery gauge/Monitor

    Yes I could run wires from the battery but I would like it to turn on and off with the ignition so I don’t forget and flatten the battery

    Fitting 12v battery gauge/Monitor

    Ahh I see what you mean so an ammeter is the better option than a voltmeter, you have helped a lot with that recommendation unfortunately I have bought a voltmeter but it was less than a tenner , I will check Amazon for the ammeter this forum is valuable for this reason someone with the...

    Fitting 12v battery gauge/Monitor

    I like your suggestion about using the brown wires at the gauge cluster, and if I decided to go nearer the fuse box how would that work? Would it still be any brown wire at the fuse box? And would the negative connection just go to ground somewhere? Please excuse my ignorance about the wiring I...

    It would be nice to see what the voltage is while riding to check it’s charging and it lets you know of a possible issues with the battery, I’ve recently done the crimp fix and regulator rewire 👍

    That’s great did you wire it into the brown wires on the console or the ignition switch ? Thanks for your input

    Yeah it’s a bit small doubt you can get one that siz; the one I got is about 1 inch by two inches I might stick it onto the handlebar clamp in the middle

    Fitting 12v battery gauge/Monitor

    Hi yes I’ve got the Haynes workshop manual but to be honest the wiring diagrams look complicated I did think the brown wires were live but wasn’t sure if they were live all the time thanks for clearing that up for me so any brown wire up at the yokes area will do 👍

    Fitting 12v battery gauge/Monitor

    Hi all Im going to fit a small 12volt battery gauge so I have a visible display of the battery voltage, probably on the handlebars I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a live wire I can attach it to so that when the ignition is on it comes on and goes off when the bike is turned off so it...

    How to fix neutral light , tachometer gauge not working.

    Yeah the wire was very thin to begin with a couple of inches above the break there was two or three other brown wires that all join together factory crimped so This thin wire is carrying the current for them too! The wire is tiny not the normal size wires on the rest of the bike.your probably...

    I had low voltage not anymore!

    I just followed the steps in the guide cut the connector from the engine stator to the rectifier and used bullet connectors for the three white wires then ran new red positive and black negative wires straight to the battery from the rectifier, I also cleaned the ground wire at the oil filler I...

    Hi all I just want to thank RaWarrior for the excellent how to guide on fixing the low voltage and not charging problem, It was so easy to follow, my bike is a 1200 year 1999/2000, I had 13volts on my battery without the engine running and 12.4volts with engine running so followed the guide and...
