Virago 1st Gen Bare Bones Wiring Harness Example - Includes A Kill Switch Circuit

[@MrBuffaloBrent]

Now I can link this video to the multitude of forum posts I see about this issue.

👍. Yep, sometimes it’s easier to see how to wire one up by seeing the actual harness connectors and wires vs. a diagram. Using the connection for the side stand relay with the Normally Closed “Blue” relay makes wiring up a kill switch super simple as well. All the best ! Steve

Hi Steve, Great video and presentation of how the Virago connection/protection and charging circuit works. Very good...thank you

[@StevesDIYs]

Thanks 👍. Yep, it was nice to finally layout this simple circuit vs. just throwing an old harness on the motors when I test them. The wiring is pretty simple as the wire colors remain the same for the circuits so they can easily be traced down even on the manual’s diagrams. Thanks again and all the best !

Great demonstration Steve.

[@StevesDIYs]

Thanks man 👍. All the best !

My XV750 is mad at me right now because I refuse to reinstall the old loom. I’ll show her this vid.

[@StevesDIYs]

lol, yep, they do get grumpy from time to time when messed with ! All the best ! Steve

Hi is it a three phase stator

[@StevesDIYs]

Hey ! I’m actually not sure if it’s called a 3 phase stator, but it does have three separate coil sets (three output wire legs) 👍

[@Bias_Prineus]

@StevesDIYs yes, it's a three phase, theese windings should not be grounded to chassis

[@StevesDIYs]

Yep, there’s only the three white wires that connect from the stator to the TCI 👍. The motor case is grounded for the starter motor.
