If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. I crashed the bike a while back, and had to replace the headlight assembly. I had to disconnect and reconnect all the wiring. The issue I'm having is that the tail light blinks when the blinkers blink. In addition, the brake light is not...

Unfortunately, it seems that I've come across some electrical problems while I was moving my bike. It seems the tarp that I was using to cover it decided it would rather fray than do it's job, and the end result became it getting wrapped around my rear turn signals and ripping them off. Now I...

Im still having trouble getting my bike to start. I thinks its a bad wire but I just cant find it. There are a few splices in the wiring harness that I think are from a previous owner, maybe not I dont know. Would it be more work to try to build a new harness (All the ones online look just as...

Hi there, Yesterday a wire came loose and broke off the alternator of my bike. The bike is a 2000 Triumph Sprint 955 RS. I tried using electrical tape to connect the wire back to the plug thing. The battery is no longer charging and the bike now won't start. Pictures are below: As you can see...

This is my first bike, and I am running into some issues with the wiring. The bike will start up and ride just fine about 70% of the time, but it has a very strange problem every once and a while. The lights will come on when the engine is off and they will all work fine, but once the engine is...

Hey there happy people of motorcycleforum.com, just hoping to pick your brains on a small(hopefully) wiring issue on my recently acquired bike. The rear signal lights, do not work. All the wires are good, and just today I stuck a volt pick, that was connected to the negative terminal, into the...

Hi, I'm a new rider that just bought a '72 Honda CB350. She runs and drives great but has some electrical issues. Mainly, whenever I try to use the right blinker it shorts into the neutral light, pops the main fuse and kills the engine. I'm not sure where the short is. Is there somewhere I...

I have a 1984 vf500c and the guy before me tried to strip it down and make it look more like a "chopper", now I'm trying to get it back to looking like a "motorcycle". He stripped the casing off a lot of the wiring harness so he could remove the fuse box mounting, change the headlight to a round...

My friend just got a*1997 suzuki intruder 800. He's asking me to make him a custom LED tail light, which I would love to do. I'm not concerned about the actual light unit, but I know nothing about motorcycles so I want to get it straight before I start planning.* It will be a tail/brake/blinker...

I have an 84 VF500. The guy before me took off the gauges and instrument cluster, the flashers, the horn, changed the headlight to round, put the fuse box in the headlight and added a Short Stop circuit breaker. Everything worked great until today when I decided to see what it would take to put...

I just picked up a nice 1986 Yamaha Radian 600, bike's generally in good shape, runs great, only 16,000miles! My only question is about the wiring coming off the r/r... I noticed that there are 2 wires that are cut between the r/r and its harness. One is white and one is red. I would imagine...
