Icebear Champion 125cc - wiring harness

[@marioruiz5313]

I'll use this video as a guide... excellent Mike, thank you very, very much ✌🦾

[@FSEVENMAN]

Excellent job well done Mike hands down this is one of your best most informative videos. Thank you😊

[@jeremylacy3306]

Great video, thanks for taking the time to make this. Much appreciated.

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks!

[@stevenmcnaught3648]

I tapped my yellow directly to the battery. I grounded off the yellow lighting from the stator to ground, and I spliced the white to the yellow lighting at the rectifier. Bike runs and charges the battery but all electronics are powered through battery. No issues. I also put a 3 way tapped into the brake power wire to operate the amber and white halo light. I have the famous Amazon led headlight. Super easy and clean. I eliminated all the starter hookups since I got the manual 125 no electric start

[@MiniBikeMike]

Yep, lots of ways to do it. Your stator setup / charging coils are a different style than those on a stock Icebear engine.

[@stevenmcnaught3648]

Only took me a week of thinking and lots of f this to get it working. Shout out to mytrailbuddy for the help

[@StephenMartinez-ve1ey]

​@@stevenmcnaught3648yeah I ordered the extra long speedometer cable from trail Buddy so I could install this digital speed cluster

[@TMichaelJKnivestmichaeljknives]

Thanks Mike! Appreciate the detailed information. Great video 👍🏼

Thanks!

[@cainbeeping8480]

Pretty good example. Thanks for sharing brother

[@71455olds]

Thanks Mike for all the help...

[@lowtoy83]

Damn that's great on the headlight

[@StephenMartinez-ve1ey]

You should put a digital cluster on your bike as well as an LED headlamp. I ordered mine from Bart motor company Orange county California. He has a lot of other parts for them ice bear champion trail bikes. & Honda z50 if you're in need of a longer speedometer cable for your champion ice bear you can order that from trail Buddy here in Michigan.

[@MiniBikeMike]

I’m not a fan of the LED and digital stuff. I want my bikes to look as old as possible, like the bikes I enjoyed in the 70’s.

[@StephenMartinez-ve1ey]

​@@MiniBikeMikebut like I was told it takes less power on your stator actually gives you a little more power. But I noticed the LED light is a lot brighter than halogen one. And they say it last a lot longer. Maybe that's why they put them in all new automobiles today would you get around that would you change the LED lights out on your vehicle for halogen brand that would be expensive

[@StephenMartinez-ve1ey]

@@MiniBikeMike I like my 69 roadrunner the 440 in it and my pistol grip for speed. But it looks a lot sweeter with LED lights. And a digital cluster. Then again to each his own. I have an original Honda 70 in a 1974 QA-50. Like my brother he doesn't like these clone bikes he States there's nothing like our childhood bikes. If you're a traditionalist like him he won't buy a Chinese Knockoff. Like his Harley 1942 panhead.

[@TheMikes1985]

Hello Mike can you do a video on how to repack front steering bearings on the Champion 125 . thanks

[@MiniBikeMike]

I’ll add it to my list of future videos. 👍🏻

[@cdplayadavid7916]

awesome video thank you !

[@brooklynzombie4102]

Mike thanks planning on doing the dc conversion and you made it seem so easy with this setup. Question does the tail light work off the same wire or is it just for the headlight

[@MiniBikeMike]

The taillight is also powered by the yellow stator wire. Unfortunately, on that end, there isn’t a good place to just unplug and replug wires. You’d probably have to cut and splice into the orange wire.

[@daniel.street]

Very useful

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks

[@rogerwright7112]

Mike, for the rear signal lights my harness only has one green wire. Both signal lights each have a green wire. What do I do to rectify this issue. Why in the world would the harness only offer one green wire!

[@fatbuddycat]

How do you get it so it runs on the battery but shuts off using the daytime running switch on the right. Somebody already did the battery jump but the switch on the right only controls the little bulb. (Amigo Rocky 125).

[@MiniBikeMike]

The Amigo should be wired from the factory to run the headlight off of the battery. On every Amigo I’ve seen, that switch on the right handlebar is useless. In stock form, the only way to turn off the headlight is to turn the key to “off”. On my Amigo, the top two positions on that switch are the same, all lights on. The bottom position shuts off the little daytime light and the taillight.

[@backthebadge4009]

Great video Mike……what is the wire gauge size used on this bike?

[@MiniBikeMike]

Looks to be 18ga for most of the harness.

[@backthebadge4009]

[@joelcate2417]

Hey Mike when changing to DC voltage by swapping blue and yellow wires, why plug the yellow wire back in to the neutral socket? Is it needed there for a reason?

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@joelcate2417 If you don’t plug the yellow wire in, you won’t have a neutral light.

[@letsgetit3310]

Omg. Trying to put my bike together. Came to the headlight and there is just a bunch of plugs not attached. And I couldn't get headlight and taillight to work. Didn't even consider this, because as far as I understand it, lights have to work if engine failed. Well one problem solved. But idk why so many extra plugs. .. now I have to figure out which plug is headlight and which is the other 4 pin that goes together I think. 3x 2 pins go no where.

[@kevinspage]

Hi Mike! Great job on your videos. I'm interested in the taillight circuit. The brake light is powered off DC and works when the break switches are closed and the key is on but the taillight is powered from the engine stator windings and only comes on when the engine is running. What is the easiest way to switch the taillight from engine to DC power? Does the taillight circuit show up inside the headlight housing. I've tried looking at the schematic but the one I have in not the exact one for the 2022 Icebear Champion. I tried probing disconnecting and tracing the taillight circuit but was hoping I could find info before tearing into the frame. Can you tell me while looking at your wiring on the bench where the taillight circuit goes? Thanks! ~Kevin.

[@MiniBikeMike]

I’ve been at a wrestling tournament since 7:00am. I won’t be around my bike until tomorrow morning. Sorry, I don’t know the wire colors off the top of my head to help today.

[@michaelcharest1869]

I just picked up a 2021 icebear spartan 125 atv, the tail light and brake light does not work , Is there a fuse for the tail light , brake light

[@MiniBikeMike]

I’ve never owned one of those, so I’m not sure. If there is, it’s typically right by the battery. Have you unplugged the light and verified that the bulb is good?

[@slideoff1]

Nice Job Mike!

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks!

[@markfitts5896]

How do I install aftermarket blinkers with only one wire to my icebear champion ??

[@MiniBikeMike]

If the signals only have one wire, they are grounded thru their mount. When mounted, they will need to be grounded to frame.

[@bamax8845]

will a tb harness work with these engines I would like to buy the labeled one for turn signals previous owner did a bunch of custom wiring I don't understand. would like to keep turn signals and all the street legal factors of the harness sense I know tb has just basic harnesses

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@bamax8845 Yes, a Trail Buddy harness would work. You can also contact Alan Adams, of Cajun Maddogs. He is a dealer for the Champions and sells a stock harness, that should be plug-n-play.

[@bamax8845]

@@MiniBikeMike thank you for the swift reply would it be better to use the tb harness if I plan on upgrading to the lifan 140 manual miss having the clutch besides that really liking my new to me icebear

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@bamax8845 If you go to a TB harness, every connector on the bike or harness will need to be changed. If you get a new Champion harness, the lights and everything on the bike should plug right in. When you swap to a 140, you’ll only have the engine to harness plug to worry about. TB harness or Champion harness…..your call.

[@DIYbecause]

Hello. New subscriber due to this video. I’m working on a Sjyteam Dax clone trying to do this but my color coding is a mess. What I’m trying to figure out is where am I supposed to send my 12DC power to; to the low beam? The high beam? The high/low ground? Or is there a different wire you are plugging into with the switched 12V DC. Appreciate your thoughts.

[@timvandenburgh1023]

Nice How does the break switch work to start the bike?

[@MiniBikeMike]

The brake switch isn’t tied into the starter. You don’t have to hold brake to start.

[@timvandenburgh1023]

@@MiniBikeMike I have only about 7 volts from my A/c stator, is my resistor the problem? just ordered a new one today.. non working break/running or turn signals

[@backthebadge4009]

Mike this was a great video and I already did my headlight….I also swapped out the stock headlamp with a sealed beam headlamp, and it works perfect. Do you have a similar fix for the rear taillight…..I was thinking of switching the rear bulb with an LED, and shouldn’t that be run off the battery to avoid ac fluctuations?

[@iancameron198]

Do you have any electrical schematics for the ct70.and the icebear.that you can put up on your site.so we can screen shot it. Thank you from michigan

[@joeburkeson8946]

Hi Mike, is it common to find that most manufacturers use the same red, orange, yellow color code? Thanks.

[@MiniBikeMike]

Honda did a very good job of using the same coloring for harness wiring throughout their models. Most clones don’t conform to the Honda coloring and use their own.

[@saeedkhan7999]

Hi Mike I have a110cc lifan engine where does the neutral wire connect to thank u

[@MiniBikeMike]

If your engine has a neutral switch, it will be a green/red wire that comes out of engine with stator wires. If your speedo has a neutral light, it should have two wires. One of those wires is green/red and connects to the green/red coming out of the engine. The other wire on the light needs to be hooked to 12v power.

[@saeedkhan7999]

@@MiniBikeMike I can find no switch

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@saeedkhan7999 If there is no green/red wire coming out of the engine, the engine may not have a neutral switch.

[@saeedkhan7999]

There are 5 wire come of the engine plus a green wire separate o @MiniBike Mike’s Garage

[@johnpaoli4032]

I did this and now my high beam and low beam are not working. What is the cause? Did it below the switch for the high beam low beam?

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@johnpaoli4032 If they don’t work, they probably aren’t getting power. You might have switched incorrect wires.

[@johnpaoli4032]

This is a oh shit moment. Would you have a wiring diagram for a 2023 ice bear champion. Mine is not to the manual I have a purple wire from the head switch where I don’t know now where it goes !

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@johnpaoli4032 I have a stock harness at the shop. Unfortunately, it will be a couple days before I can get back over there. I can visualize the purple wire, but don’t recall, off the top of my head, where it connects. I’ll check and let you know.

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@johnpaoli4032 The purple wire in my harness connects to a black/white wire with a double female bullet plug. There is also a brown/white wire plugged into the other female side.

[@GlockPointer]

Can the battery keep up with this? Any downsides whatsoever?

[@MiniBikeMike]

The stator puts out 20+ volts and the regulator cuts it back down to 13v/14v to charge the battery. My bike has 500+ miles on it and the battery is still fully charged and I use the electric start every time.

[@andrewgarbacz8969]

Mike if you could get back with me I have a 150cc scooter I want to put a toggle switch versus the other wires I had for starting the bike and a kill button which wires are my hot wire to run a switch to I'm having a moment here thanks

[@dmlail]

While searching for the reason my brand new Ice Bear Champion would not start (which turned out to be a bad ignition coil), I found an extra connector in the harness under the gas tank. Turns out it was basically another kill switch connector. I'm assuming they may use that same harness for some scooter with a side stand safety. Did you happen to find the same in that harness?

[@MiniBikeMike]

Yep, all Champions have that extra kill harness.

[@spyrosevripidou612]

What dose the pink and the brown wire do?

[@MiniBikeMike]

Pink is Lo Beam wire for headlight. Brown goes to the push button for electric start.
