Motorcycle Electrical Problems : Easy Fix To Save Money

[@OrangeChickenMoto]

Instead of buying new switches and clusters, I cleaned out and greased my kill switch and starter cluster during a throttle cable replacement. When I started the bike, the low beams were much brighter and all of a sudden, my high beams were working too!! Amazing what a little bit of cleaning will do for our bikes.

[@georosendi2637]

I ran out of options and this was the last thing I did and it worked, I didn’t know how much trash was build in the connections. It worked dude thanks

[@GrievenceCapitolist]

My friend is an electrician . He has a note on the dash of his van . It says , " Is it plugged in ? " . Great tips Cody 👍 .

[@Spitfireseven]

This is the finest kind of video available on KZbin. Practical common sense ideas like I see here are what makes the world go round. When I was sixteen years old working for an electrical company in Miami Beach we had a guy that not only did the repair to what was happening to the wall circuit, he knew how to assess what was happening in the whole deal with why something wasn't working. He would straighten out the whole deal. We sure did dump out a lot of lint traps down inside the washer or dryer that the customer had. This harness stuff is exactly what he would have shown me if we were involved with this stuff. JUST WONDERFUL!

[@TheMotorcycleMD]

Really glad you enjoyed it man! That guy sounds like a legend! 🤙🏻 Thanks for the feedback.

[@crpth1]

TIPS: - Keep terminals tight. - Keep terminals CLEAN. - Keep wires and wire looms properly wrapped, fixed and protected. - DO NO pull terminals by their wires. - Protect terminals with a very light film of Vaseline, or any other commercial product of your preference. The first option is simply dirty cheap and readily available. Now to help cleaning those pesky brass fittings. If using "mechanical means". Example: Dremel with a small wire wheel make short work of having bright shiny metal staring at you. A wire brush or sand paper (>400) do the job, its just more work. For those inaccessible terminals inside plugs, females, etc.use (light) acidic solutions! Some examples of very effective safe and readily available acids, in any house. Vinegar, mustard, lemon juice... For what it's worth you can consume them. That's how safe it is. ;-) - Vinegar being a liquid is ideal to deep parts while soaking them. - Mustard has the advantage of the thicker consistence. You can apply on vertical surfaces, etc. Enjoy. Cheers

Can you help me? I was tinkering with the wire of my bike's horn. One side was corroded, so I decided to cut it and replace it with a new wire at the same spot. Initially, everything seemed fine, but at a certain point, my bike suddenly stopped turning on. The screen didn't light up, and although I could start it using the kickstarter, the lights remained off. However, the engine was running normally, just without any screen display or lights.

[@ankhlee6283]

When that happened to me, I found out that one wire was broken in the ignition@@reginald4749

[@fonz1anddone713]

​@@reginald4749 I'm having this issue did you ever fix it?

[@joemeyers9897]

Thank you For sharing knowledge. Some may know and think it's common knowledge, But for many it's not. I'm 1.And appreciate you taking the time to share information.

[@fonz1anddone713]

Just want to update. Lots of people never do. It turn out to be a wire from my rectifier to battery. While battery was reading 12.5 the wire thru the plug was reading 8.1 volts. Changed out the wire and inline fuse even though it wasn't blown and all is happy in my world. Because i never thought a single wire especially a thicker wire would've cause the havoc i was dealing with I replaced my stator, rectifier, and battery. My big takeaway is lesson learned but i learned so much about my bike by digging into engine parts and building confidence working on something i never have. Plus I'd say I'm a bit of a genius with the ol' multimeter now 😂😂

[@1Poe]

Cody, you are soo right.. few years ago I had my H Shadow at 2 different service shops for electrical issues and none of them were able to figure it out. One of them even told me to sell it for 300 Euro and be happy. So , I went home and started to inspect everithing from handlebar switches to the battery and found several rusted contacts in the terminals of the fusebox, (the fix was super easy and it is running perfectly ever since). But from that moment on, I have done all small task/maintenance by myself. Only if I would have some engine failure, I will probably go to a repair shop. I even purchased few 1983 oldtimers , and I have a running project for a cafe racer with H CB250N, and the Yazamha XJ550 is beautifull as it is, so I will just restore few parts.

[@AshfaQ9556]

That's why I specifically went to learn mechanics and electrics.

[@johnDukemaster]

A friend of mine had electrical problems with his Suzuki SV1000. The dash was crazy, the light and indicators didn't do what they were suppose to. He went to a garage who "went through the whole electrical system" and couldn't find anything wrong, therfore it must be the ECU, they said. Expensive! I said to him, "check the wiring, maybe it's a loose end or bad earth?" He did and found a loose connection at the rear light under the seat, plugged it back in again, and result! Cheap! Now, that garage will probably not see any of us again!

[@wolverinebear5357]

Ive given up on taking any vehicle to a certified mechanic garage. They only rip you off. Only time i use a certified mechanic is when i know exactly what the problem is an i know exactly what needs done an parts an its to big of a job to do in my own garage myself. I do feel bad for those not mechanically inclined. Its easy stuff really like a lego set, just follow instructions, youtube is good for this.

[@Mr.CrotchRocket]

I had a sv1000s my bike was running good but then the battery died within 5hours of being off it lasted me a week any ideas?

[@todddennehy804]

I agree! Cars and bikes share this trait. Start with and rule out all the fundamental or simple things.

[@studvickwicklewire8181]

great tip for anyone who messes with any kind of vehicle

[@jontnoneya3404]

Great stuff - I was once left on the side of the road by my MC that had a total loss of power. EVERYONE I talked to said "Oh it might be this component that died" or "check the fuses" and guess what it was.....a loose terminal on the battery. I'd added a trickle charger and didn't put any sort of lock tite on the thread and after about a year, it had wiggled itself loose. That's all it was.

[@randallissimo]

DeOxit D5 spray. I am an electronics repairman, and I couldn't live without it. Won't help your worn out or loose connections, but it sure helps with oxidation.

[@1001CP]

I just saw this! Low tech, common sense approach to all things connected my friend. I signed up for your course. I have been riding for over 50 years and did a LOT of trail side surgery BUT always tr to learn more. Thank you for this and the great course I have coming. Stay safe and well in this new year.

[@jthomp57]

Honda had an internal TSB captioned "a new twist on connectors", back in the early 80's. It worked wonders and the cars weren't even that old. Just a couple of years. If we got to the connector too late, and it was melted, either 2 harnesses needed replaced or you did what we did where I worked. We would cut the wires out of the connector and solder them together. It was a lot faster and cheaper than replacing 2 harnesses. It also got rid of the poor connection that caused the over heating.

[@leestevens4536]

Very good content and advise. One thing that I would suggest, contact cleaner spray and a non-conductive long bristle brush. Clean the connections.

[@TheMotorcycleMD]

[@anthonylevan7508]

Thank you so much. You have single handedly saved me time, money and from going mad. Had a starting issue on my daughter’s KLX140. No spark. I was convinced it was a dodgy coil and was about to buy a new coil after days of testing coil, relays & solenoid. Watched your video and systematically went through all the plugs. Bingo! A couple of pins on my CDI were looser than a hookers money maker. I pulled the connectors out squeezed them up and reconnected. The bike is running like new. Im now subscribed and booked in with your training 👍 Thanks again.

[@romulusboicu660]

I have a 660 Tenere and I'm at my 4th regulator in two years and my second in two weeks. Two times I hade it changed in Paris, one time in Morocco and the last time in Spain. It was awful, I went from Paris to Morocco and remained stranded 3 time because of this... Every mechanic didn't want to listen to me and the fact that it's defintly a problem that causes all these electrical problems... My thought was that it's the plug, but every one said it was ok... The first problem started after a ride in the rain and water got in and burned the regulator. I got am original one and put silycone in the top of the plug to prevent water from getting in, but it failed on the higway, 200km from home... New regulator, but the problems persisted... Now I'm going to order a new plug and have it changed and will se what happens!

Hi, this was a very informative video. I own a TVS Ronin 225 CC recently something has went wrong with the electronic but no service centre is able to help me. So the problem is when I put the keys in and turn it the Dial would not turn on, I need to shake bike to get it on (like move into main stand and rapidly move it out) also sometime when I push the self ignition button the Dial will go out.

[@jimseagle846]

Excellent job. Good explanation and at an understandable pace.

[@Coolatta420]

Haven’t watched yet but I already know it’s a good video thanks kody I think that’s ur name

[@GuaranteedEtern]

This happened to me - the connector from the ignition switch was burnt/melted probably because of this exact reason. The connector was melted inside, and the wires sleeve had burnt so it was well beyond this fix - so I basically soldered the wires together and all good. The other alternative is a whole new wiring harness, which is way more cost/work.

[@jr3628]

something i was told a long time ago, "if it comes apart it can corrode" a tiny bit of antiseize for bolt and di-electric grease on connectors goes a long way to help. any ideas cody, good idea/bad idea?

[@TheMotorcycleMD]

Honestly I cam a big fan of silicon spray. It is a "dry lube" that sprays wet. Makes everything from rubber to plastic slide easy into position then drys. Di-electric grease is great but so many people use it the wrong way. It is inteaded to seal the connectors on the outer sides, not packed into the terminal ends and shoved together. Even though you can use it like that, less is more!

[@billbecher311]

What products and process do you recommend using and doing if the connectors already show signs of corrosion? How and what do you do and use to clean them

[@crpth1]

@@billbecher311 - I just wrote this on another comment. Deep them in vinegar. Possible uses, put vinegar on a small bowl deep the terminals/connectors. If the accessibility don't allow the usage of a bowl. Simple plastic bag held close with a rubber band, can sometimes suffice! ;-) If the position is not practical do deep/soak the part(s). You can use mustard!! Yes the thicker mustard can be applied in a slanted or vertical position and stay there for awhile. Just enough time to make it bright & shiny! ;-)

I have a no crank situation am trying to diagnose on my motorcycle, I've changed the battery, starter relay, I have a good engine ground the starter motor spins when benched testing it yet when I push the starter switch nothing happens the starter relay just clicks. All components in the starter circuit check out ok but the bike won't crank. I think I've figured it out to an earth fault because when I press the starter switch with a multimeter across the battery terminals am getting a very large voltage drop from the battery sitting at 12.26 volts to pressing the switch it drops to around 6.30 volts. Definitely an earth fault but all wires are ok in the circuit as well😔

[@Richard-lionhearted]

There is a liquid called Noalok it’s a fluid when applied to connections, rids the connections of the oxidation film disallowing a proper electrical bond ! ( there is one chemical made for aluminum and another for copper ) use of this can eliminate electrical issues on a motorcycle wiring !

[@crpth1]

Vinegar does exactly the same... ;-)

[@blipco5]

ALWAYS use a quality corrosion inhibitor on your connectors when taking them apart regardless of how old or new your bike. Be careful to not make a mess but always.

[@billbecher311]

Do you have any recommendations for a quality corrosion inhibitor?

[@blipco5]

@@billbecher311 Yes, DeoxIT D5 which is available at electronics stores or online. It’s a spray. Or easier to find and probably longer lasting on the connections.. Ideal Nolox which you can get in the electrical isle at a Home Depot. It is a gray pasty liquid and comes in a small squeeze bottle. I’ve used it for years on my bikes with good results. I use a toothpick to apply it on the terminals. A few ounces lasts forever.

[@blipco5]

The DeoxIT is mainly used for electronics such as scratchy volume controls on old radios.

[@crpth1]

Hello TheMotorcycleMD, I had to replace my ignition switch due to a failed theft on my bike. However I was really slow to get to it because of low funds and got back to repairs almost 2 years later. I thought the display wouldn't turn on due to a dead battery. I bought a new battery and checked the voltage. I plugged the new battery in and... nothing. No display lighting up, no starter sounds when pressing the button. Just dead. I am sure that the theft attempt did not touch any other components of my bike. What am I doing wrong?

My 1992 XTZ660 Ténéré was stored for 10/15 years and the previous owner wanted to send her to the scrapyard. I refreshed the bike, clean the carb and voila, running bike with lots of power. Now, studently, stopped and never started again. It has spark, clean carbs (again) thus having fuel (wet spark), has good compression and doesn't start. The spark is too weak and even with starting fluid doesn't want to start. They are very cool bikes, but the electrical part on them sucks specially after the all these years.🤦‍♂ Love the bike though. 😅

The fuse box is getting 11.9 -12.2 from the ignition switch but the battery reads 13.9 at 5000 rpm. I know the ignition switch will get either dirty or worn and not send the correct voltage to the regulator and it sends too much voltage to the battery and can do damage.
