Hi guys
So iam gonna attack the dreaded wiring. I have it up and running and basically only need wiring done.
So gonna remove tank and get started, but one question in particular

Ive tried to use the instruktion Chuck made in his thread Which is awsome, but the red wire that goes from the rectifier in this ignition kit, when i mount that on plus(positive) on battery it start
To almost spool up in the rectifier and if buzzes in the entire frame. 🤷‍♂️
Not sure what i have connected wrong here but Any tips, help is appreciated :)

Red wire on this picture is my make shift from the rectifier

rd400greenhorn

Well
When applying the red wire to plus Its actually starting to spool up in the engine casing it sounds oike, from the ignition / rotor🤷‍♂️

Dvsrd

Follow the instructions that came with the kit.

rd400greenhorn

Yeah well i believe i did 😅🤷‍♂️ thats why i dont quite get the issue

Check the wiring inside the vape. There have been posts before of wires rubbing inside there and shorting. It may have been chucks post where the vape had to be dismantled wires repaired.

Also are you using the stock kill switch, and how did you wire that?

rd400greenhorn

Yeah so not sure what has happened, tried to be carefull with wires and did lot follow the installation 100 procent from Chuck. Just as referance.

Ehm, i just found a wire that went live when ignition is on, and connected that to the Black wire going from the rectifier.
Just for getting the bike running. But somehow, no matter if that Black wire is on or not, ignition also off, it buzzes when i connect that red wire to plus.
I need to investigate under the engine cover..

Im confused. The black wires from the rectifier go to the stator. The rectifier is circled in red in the pic
Pole 85 on the relay - circled in yellow - gets connected to the kill switch on power wire

Second pic is where the wires can get expose inside the stator.

 :umm:
Hmm.. As I recall the Black wire from the rectifier was a single wire with No connections on, 🤷‍♂️
So where on the stator does that go?

rd400greenhorn

I need to dobbel check that wire tomlrrow

I just tried to mount the rec/reg from my 'custom' rd and fitted it to the silver rd
No buzzing.

So, that rec/reg is not good.
