How to install aftermarket amazon motorcycle gauges

How to install aftermarket amazon motorcycle gauges. This is pt.2 of installing the low-buck amazon motorcycle gauges on my CB750K project. In this episode we bolt on the aftermarket motorcycle instruments and see if they work... or burst into flames.
Some things I need to add since filming the video:
1) I haven't tested out the speedometer yet as it's currently -12 degrees Celsius here!
2) These baby's are BRIGHT! The high beam indicator is craaaaazy bright.
3) The wiring diagram from the Amazon seller was pretty darn accurate. The only catch was that the ground wires for the speedometer were not clearly identified. I had to use Ron's battery (which you'll see in the video)
Here are the links to the parts that I used in this video:

It's TRUE! They do work, but FULL DISCLOSURE... it's currently the middle of winter and I still need to see how accurate the speedometer is. I've got to wait for a warmer day though!

[@dan-andreichira4146]

I am trying to add a digital tach to my 89 Yamaha TW200 but the coil has one positive connection from the CDI and it is grounded on the negative side. connecting the sensor wire to the positive coil wire does not make it work nor does connecting the sensor wire to one wrapped around the spark plug wire like an induction tachometer. Is there a place on the CDI unit or the stator wiring that is safe to connect the signal wire? One that will trigger the digital tachometer?

[@jholloway77]

While working on my CM250c I ended up having to buy two different sets of gauges. Both sets look the same at first glance, but there's a slight difference in the wiring. On the first set the neutral shares the same ground wire with the headlight & turn signals, resulting in the headlight & signal light not working when the bike is in gear. The second set of gauges has separate ground wires for the neutral and the other two lights, allowing the gauges and the bike to work properly. It was surprising as the two gauges look identical, but it turns out they are different models which share the same gauge housing & basic design. On amazon you often see what looks like the exact same product under different names. But in this case, it really pays to review the instruments and wiring in the photos of before you buy. Good thing they're cheap!

So yes... But no at the same time. You are right that in theory everything could ground through the exact same point. However, two things: 1) I was wiring this to be plug and play with the factory harness 2) sometimes having everything ground to a common point, can mean you end up with electrical weirdness. That's why the electrical engineers design multiple grounds in the the wiring systems of motorcycles and cars.

Hi Mike thanks to a very informative video.I got exactly same speedometer and my problem is the two negative cables, can you describe wich cables goes to 1st and 2nd black negative so I can sorted them out,right now my speedometer is allready hooked up and i got some issues as turn signal indicator stops when i put the gear on.I got an 650 Honda cb/Thanks.

Okay. At the 1:49 mark in the video you can briefly see what all 3 ground wires do. They are: #1- gauge illumination ground #2- neutral indicator ground #3- turn signals and high beam ground It sounds like you have #2 and #3 backwards. Swap them and I bet they will work! To find out which one was the ground for which lights, I simply tested the gauges by touching the wires to a battery.

Ok thanks,I suspect that cause the error. I will re-do the wiring tomorrow. This is what happend if you don’t think before you enter a project.😃
