Changing Out Different Headlight Switch Connectors on the TALARIA STING R (MX4) || 2023 Ebike

I thought I'd make a video on how I switched out the connectors on a "headlight switch" to match the different connectors on my bike harness. I ordered this switch a while ago, only to find out that the connectors don't match/fit lol. So I did some research and just ordered ones that would match/fit and swapped them myself.
I'm just sharing what I did to get the headlight switch to work. I'm not an expert at any of this. If you own an MX4, and your connectors/wires/harness looks similar to mine, then this video may help. This may not apply to everyone. I do not advise trying this unless you know what you're doing.

Great video! this is going to be a big help to a lot of people that got the square connector!

[@Randumbly]

Ay I appreciate that truly man! Yea I figured it may help some folks out, pretty simple stuff once you just do a little research ha. Hope all is well bro 🤙🏾.

[@freerfixedit]

@@Randumbly you too bro! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@Questrides]

I have the same issue but is backwards is it the same process? I have green and black on the bike. And blue and black on the light. Do I just need to switch the casing ?

[@MoxyDave]

Thanks for posting the link to the connectors. Just got my Sting R last week and I've put almost 100 miles on it already. What a blast! I have a couple different headlights coming, and I bought a bunch of those new connectors as I'm assuming my new bike will have them. Trying to find a good balance of not blinding traffic at night and having enough light for night trail riding. Probably end up with 2 headlights, one for traffic and one for trails. Props!

[@Randumbly]

👍. Haha that's cool man. Be safe out there! But yea someone at GritShift was saying that some Sting R's have the grey oval ones, and some have the black square ones. No difference, just different connectors. I still haven't explored headlights yet lol. Might have to now lol.

[@someonesaidstfu]

You have a sub for EXACTLY the video I needed to see as I have been upgrading my Talaria R MX4. Cheers mate!

[@Randumbly]

Ay Thanks for that!. I appreciate you! Glad the vid could help 💪. Peace and Be safe!

[@zander-lifts]

This actually helped so much you should’ve seen the smile on my face when it worked

[@Randumbly]

Haha same. Glad it helped 🤙🏾

[@GeezerEnduro]

Brilliant! Just fixed mine. A few things were slightly different, wire colors and pin type, but made it work!!

[@Randumbly]

Nice, glad the video could help you 🤙🏾.

[@trevin1691]

Excellent color code guides and instructions ✌️Just put baja designs twin light set up for Sur-Ron on my kids xXx talaria WAY SAFER night riding (light)) housing came pre cosmetically damaged…) soldered into running light circuit brown (+) green ….retained stock headlight

[@Randumbly]

Nice man, I'm glad it helped out🤙🏾.

[@Aarzos]

Thank you for sharing this. Very helpful.

[@Randumbly]

I appreciate you watching. I hope you figure it out! 🤙🏾

[@sinc3407]

Thanks bro this is super helpful❤

[@Randumbly]

Appreciate you watching. Glad it could help! 🤙🏾

[@timwilliams1054]

Worked perfectly. Thanks dude

[@Randumbly]

👍 No prob, glad it helped. 🤙🏾

[@zdw4914]

Thanks man this is perfect

[@Randumbly]

No prob. I appreciate you watching!

[@TonyPreckwrinkle]

Great video, exactly what I was looking for.

[@Randumbly]

Glad it could help.

[@catmanflorida2839]

ahhh great info !!! thanks.

[@Randumbly]

No prob. I was super bummed when I saw the different connectors lol According to Gritshift some MX4's have the grey oval ones, and some have the black square ones.

[@JuanAlvarez-dc8dt]

I don't see the link.

[@hazze4594]

had similar problem with my surron l1e version but i just cut the cables checked the voltage on the cable and clamped them together works fine for me

[@Randumbly]

Yea at first I knew all you really had to do was connect the wires somehow, I figured mine as well use actual connectors so I don't mess anything up lol

[@djdeepcee]

Nice explanation. I’m gonna have to swap out connections too. My MX4 has the old style plug, but the light I’m installing has the new updated plug. Thanks for the info and the diagram you made. 👍🏾

[@YoungWise2011]

Good stuff. just what i needed. keep up the content. Any other mods coming down the pipeline?

[@Randumbly]

I may try out a bigger rear sprocket and different chain. A 50T sprocket possibly. Nothing special or too much bigger.

[@jperalta0000]

Subbed!! I haven’t purchased turn signal kit because of connector issue. Any plans on how to fix the connectors on the gritshift turn signal kit?

[@Randumbly]

Ay I appreciate you bro 🤙🏾! I don't really know too much on the turn signal kit. What you can try though is to just call GritShift and ask them about the which connectors would work, they're way chill. Pretty sure they've been asked before about it so that may help.

[@matthewlizardi1148]

Hey I’m wondering if I could do this same process for my gritshift headlight. Already finished doing it for the switch

[@Randumbly]

I'm not entirely sure, I know nothing about their actual headlight lol but I'm sure it can be done. If I were you I would give them a call and ask, they're aware of the MX4s having different connectors, so they may have some answers, or some good input....🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@mazza8841]

Would this also work on a talaria x3 just curious as all the videos I’ve seen are for the sting and none for the x3

[@blairrr9827]

rather than my wire on the bike being red and black mines are green and blue ? but the green an black wires are the same ? the light iam trying to install only has 1 connection but 2 wires red and black

[@bikelifeforever5806]

Great video! just what i was needing 🫡 loving the content from the uk🏍️💨

[@Randumbly]

Shout out to the UK! Much love! Glad it could help. Be safe!

[@parkerchristie1252]

Not sure if you can help, but I am confused on where your plugging your 2 connectors into. Obviously one of them is going to the headlight cable. But there’s the other going?

[@Apezilla]

did grit shift come out with their updated connectors yet? i can’t find it on the site

[@Randumbly]

I still haven't received any hit up from them since I last spoke with them about it. That was a while ago too....

[@ethan-ongfuel268]

Does this work for the talaria xxx

[@TwoGuysWithBikes]

Hey man, I just got mine and I have a little question, when charging the bike do you have to turn off the breaker and unplug the battery, I just charged mine without even thinking of that

[@Randumbly]

Breaker should be off any time the bike is being plugged into battery, and when unplugging from the bike.

[@TwoGuysWithBikes]

@@Randumbly damn, I hope I didn’t mess something up, it was only one charge so I’ll hope for the best

[@TwoGuysWithBikes]

@@Randumbly I didn’t take the battery out to charge it, just left it in the bike. Does the same rule with the breaker apply there, thank you and if you don’t know that’s all good, I’ll Ask lunacycle

[@Randumbly]

Yea you should ask Luna Cycle lol. I don't want to give the wrong advice. I always turn breaker off, and unplug before I charge. That's just what I do.

[@RZ888888]

it's a shame that it doesn't have the original headlight switch.. This bike is still not as refined as I would like. surron is much better. The only downside is that it's smaller, but it's still better and more agile. surron has many original modifications unlike talaria ……..

[@Randumbly]

Right? I had to get this same switch for my sur ron before also lol. But yea there were a few things I noticed I wasn't a fan of this last month and a half of riding, but I just remember that it's still a new bike and hasn't been around like the sur ron. So things aren't gonna be perfect. There's only really one thing that annoys me about the bike lol. As for modifications/upgrades, Talaria has a decent amount of mods and upgrades from what I've seen, but yea Sur ron definitely has more as of right now.

[@RZ888888]

@@Randumbly I'm also thinking about Talari, but I'm still not sure... Have you had one or the other bike, which one is better for you? Is the talaria more comfortable or similar in size to the surron? I find the surron more snappy and fun than the talaria, How tall are you?

[@Randumbly]

I've had a sur ron for a little bit before the sting r, and the size and weight difference is pretty noticeable going from one to the other, at least in my opinion. I'm 6' tall. Yea the "eco mode" on the sur ron definitely felt way better. Sometimes I think "sport mode" on the R is way too powerful for me lol.

[@DoZiDoz.]

Is there a way to have a switch for the tail light?

[@Randumbly]

I saw a switch made by Gritshift called "The Duster Plug and Play Switch". It has a red button that has 3 modes and one of them will switch the tail light off I'm pretty sure. I didn't really read up on it though.
