Hi Folks,
This is Dan, let me show you step by step on how I build stuff each week including my CB750 Cafe Racer & the (Honda Scrambler/Tracker build on a budget challenge) SUBSCRIBE to follow my future builds, I'm based in Australia.
=====================================================

[@davidcranswick]

Dan so kind of you to make the effort and break this down. I have an M-Unit and kit to upgrade some crusty wiring on my resto -mod Yamaha TRX and bin a whole lot of components and weight I now feel much more confident about installing an upgraded system. So thank you !! I'm baulking at the switch gear. It can be mighty expensive and I do not want to have switch gear which is confusing to operate such as a kill switch or hazard lights if theres an accident and it's up to a bystander to know which button to use ? I'll figure it out but I particularly like your comment about helping each other out. Cheers Dave

[@AlbRider03]

The way you explained it now it seems very simple , thanks man

[@harryblueskin]

Excellent video Dan, ive never attempted the wiring on my bikes before now, you've opened up a new world for me with moto gadget hardware. This winter (uk) I'm going to follow your advice and rewire my cafe racer, thanks again Dan.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

You wont regret it once you see what the mo.unit is capable of. Make sure you watch the other video showing you all about the mo.unit and what it can do :)

[@anthonyholder5463]

Crazy helpful, I’m finishing up a spcns bike that someone started and couldn’t finish and I’m essentially creating a wire harness for it and this is super help full

[@LordPenny95]

I’m confused as my CDI has loads of wires coming out of it and I’m thinking so I need all of these as yours has bugger all

[@Dirtbagmoto1]

Thanks for the video man I love working on stuff myself but electrical works always been a tough one for me!

[@roninchu]

Just got my first bike. 1982 Yamaha xj750. Will definitely be completely rewiring this thing. This is the perfect video for helping guide in where to what who when. ❤❤❤

[@johnDukemaster]

So much work in this video. Well done Dan! For me, this is like making a household budget. Sooo boooring! But when's started, it's quite satisfying. Motogadget makes really good quality things. A bit pricey perhaps, but you get what you pay for. Cheers!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you for noticing mate and yes you do get what you pay for with Motogadget

[@jackmorcom3540]

Fantastic video mate! Videos like these make the daunting thought of wiring a bike with a M. Unit blue so much easier. Props for the CMSNL key chain too.

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you so much mate I really appreciate your comments like this inspires me to make more videos

[@jobrienphotographer]

amazing video dude thank you! currently doing a custom suzuki bandit build and pulling the harness out i was like... "there has to be a way to declutter this garbage" thanks you!

[@Elvirth24]

One thing he doesn't do that I highly recommend is to get ferrules for the wires going directly into the Mo.Unit terminals, along with a ferrule crimper. It ensures better and more consistent contact and longer wire life at the connection point.

[@slo-motion9292]

is it possible to kindly reply me which mounit(s) i may need for my 1991 GSF400 Suzuki bandit?

[@anthonyortiz1406]

Bro, I got a salvaged Honda CBF300NA from a police auction last week and there were wires and splices for random electronics everywhere. I got frustrated and just chopped most of it off but I couldn't tell what wraps were factory and which were spliced. I spent about 10 hours just tracing the wiring and removing the extra stuff, but it left me without some connectors. Since I'm new to wiring motorcycles, I've been hunting for inspiration on whether to try to simplify it further or take it back to near-factory. This video came up and it made me feel good about not just slapping the ignition on and taking the time to plan the rewire. Thanks for this video. You've earned a subscriber!

[@NathanRodgers-xj5jw]

I’m working on ‘82 Virago trying to install that same starter solenoid but I’m having trouble getting the larger gauge wiring to fit in properly, how did you manage it?

[@albertpoon6740]

Hey Dan! Thanks for another great video! Can you please make a video on integrating this m unit blue with a Yamaha XSR700? I couldn't figure out how to sort out the ECU, ABS, Immobilizer to be connected onto the m unit blue. Thanks in advance!

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Thank you mate I don't actually have this bike, I world recommend Revival cycles site under guides

[@albertpoon6740]

@@CafeRacerGarage No worries! I had already approached them and they couldn't help. Motogadget themselves can't help either

[@MrSprocket2u]

what no star washer .. or even a flat and spring washer ??

[@arniepries6480]

I'm assuming when you do the final connections you will solder the ends of the bare wires connecting to the M unit ?? Or do you leave the strands bare and just tighten the screw to the wires to hold it in place?

[@CafeRacerGarage]

The mo.unit comes with ferrule wire connectors when you do the final

[@lassikinnunen]

Yeah you should use ferrules rather than solder them. For high current especially don't skip the ferrules. On motorbikes or another thing with that style connectors. (For someone reading, ferrule is just like a piece of metal that you crimp on the end of the wire, so when you stick it into a terminal thats screw down or spring loaded or similar the strands don't start moving and the connection doesn't become loose and form a resistance that will then get hot when large current is passing through it. It doesn't really matter all that much for signal wires.).

[@X_Studios]

Thank you

[@scottdog182]

Another great video Dan. I have considered the mo unit, just the price of it is holding me back, just can't quite stretch the funds that far, but may be able to next year

[@CafeRacerGarage]

It's a product that you love once you have it i promise you that :)

[@milmex317th]

Forgetaboutit. Cost to much

[@ceesklumper]

Somewhat confused. If everything was working fine, why go through all this trouble and, it seems, significant expense to end up in the same place. If everything was not fine, this will not solve that, at least not for sure, so you will still have a problem.

[@PraiseJesusChrist2024]

If you have a f-ugly mess of wires. You'd want them looking good. This exactly where I'm at with my yamaha. It's simply cosmetic.

[@NoneYaBusiness1970]

If you have a used bike that everyone has chopped on. These will solve all the reliability issues from said butchered harness. Not to mention you can get rid of the fifty miles of wire and several plugs that Harley Davidson shoves in their head light bucket. That shits ridiculous. Couldn’t even get the headlight back in.

[@CaseyJohnston-fk6bi]

So what if I have no harness at all ?

[@robertwhite9013]

excellent videos buddy.. I need some help, I have a cx500 an just got a m unit an need help wiring the ignition up to start, so if some one can please be appreciated 🙏

[@andrewhall836]

Hi Dan. Great video (also loved the one on the Mo.unit as well). Like Harry Potter, I have struggled with the "Dark Arts" for many years, which on one occasion caused an electrical fire at a petrol station while filling up my trike!!! This did raise a little concern at the time as you can imagine!! I'm currently resto/modding a KZ750/4 into a Café Racer, here in Cairns, Queensland, so I have found your videos to be extremely useful! Keep up the excellent work. L&R Andrew

[@CafeRacerGarage]

That's crazy mate but could happen to anyone. I add me to Instagram and send me a picture of your KZ I would like to see it

[@WowItzAkina]

THANKS SO MUCH MAN I’m currently redoing the entire wiring harness on my 82 XV750 and finding out about the products you showed in this video is going to make this much easier

[@brettjacquin3833]

I just picked up the same bike, and im about to order all these to rewire aswell because the previous owner decided not to label shit

[@WowItzAkina]

@@brettjacquin3833 good luck man, I’d recommend redoing ground wires too while your at it. Look into starter mods for these things, the starters on them are notoriously inconsistent, if you want to make carb tuning easier, drop the $450-$500 on a MINUKI single carb conversion kit, also if you have a 750, swap the battery to one for a virago 920. They’re the same size, but the 920 has higher CCA and higher AH which will make your starter more reliable. Make your own harness with the 1st gen viragos, the stock harnesses are absolute dogshit messes. Hated every bit of it.

[@ceesklumper]

Are you by chance being sponsored by this vendor?

[@AbeyantHero]

I forget, how tall is Lincoln again? hah I wonder what the architect was thinking of not using that indoor space for living. For the suite, I feel like maybe saving the plumbing for a separate water closet possibly making the most of the existing layout.

[@aaronDjVu]

You Should do a video just on wiring in the cdi with a m unit. It can be a very complicated process. Especially keeping in mind the various needs of different cdi’s

[@MuradAkram]

Thank you for this very informative short video! I would like to request/recommend, if/when it's possible you should make a video series to cover how to rewire a specific motorcycle model from start to end, listing out all the necessary parts needed per bike model. For Example: I am currently working on a 1979 Suzuki GS850G and would love to get rid of the old wiring harness, use upgraded LED lights and this new technology you are showcasing in this video, but my electrical skills are "0" but I am good in following step by step directions and I bet there are many like myself out there that are good with the mechanical restoration part of a bike but are rusty when it comes to electrical stuff. So, a video stepping through this upgrade process would help a lot of folks save time/money and frustration and they will not end up with extra part at the end of this upgrade process.

[@stuartwood7252]

Can't wait to see the clean up. Wire/lead/cable management kinda brings the OCD out in me.... Long story..

[@slo-motion9292]

spent all night looking for the this video thought i lost it;im gonna attempt tpo wire my GSF400 as per this video

[@keithm7741]

Hi Love your videos, they have been a great help and have inspired me to build my own cafe racer. I have a Honda CX500E. I bought the M-Unit, and trying to wire up the horn, lights, indicators (turn signals) etc, it's my first time trying to do anything like this. Can you advise if I need to have a separate ground wire for each of the components, or can I solder them all together and then have just one wire going to ground, hope this makes sense. Thanks

[@CafeRacerGarage]

As long as all earth wires go back to the frame of the bike it really won't matter how you do it. I like to have a little earth bus so its neet and you don't have 10 wires all bunched together. Google earth bus and you will see what im saying

[@keithm7741]

Thanks for your reply, appreciated. I'll look into the earth bus, keep up the great videos@@CafeRacerGarage

[@havelmg]

Hi Dan, I've just finished the same bike also with the full Motogadget and Revival Cycles pack and LI-ion battery and Rick's Motorsport Reg/Rec. And my advices to you or whoever is trying this are the following: - Put an eye on the connector with the 3 white wires between the Reg/Rec and the Stator. I used the original yamaha connector and got so hot that it melted. The solution was to hard wire it. - If you notice that you have weak starter for some reason. Run a good thick ground wire directly to one of the bolts of the starter motor. - If you are also planing to use a KN&N air Filter and stock carbs, you will have to modify the internals of the filter, otherwise it will be really dificult to caburate. The solution I found was to restrict the air flow by sticking a 90 degrees PVC pipe join inside the filter leaving the open end of the PVC join pointing rearwards. - I don't know If you also plan to do it, but I also converted the mechanical clutch to a Hydraulic one and still playing with it. Un Saludo

[@CafeRacerGarage]

This is fantastic information mate thank you for the tips

[@CafeRacerGarage]

Follow me on insta and send me some pics of the filter mods If you want :) love to see how you did this

[@lucasazeredo1]

amazing video, just 8 months too late haha... I just did the same thing for my XV750 and it was the first time ever doing anything electrical... it's the simplest method.. not cheap tho, but worth it. I'm sure it will help other people out there..

[@lucasazeredo1]

BTW your video basically covers 3 months of my own research... damn, I spent so much time trying to figure out by myself or from other sources/facebook groups etc... it's all in your video, fantastic!
