Any suggestions for a complete 750m rewire

[ziggy]

Got the rolling chassis together so now its the time to connect everything. Im not electrically minded and dont know whats out there and hence this post. As I need coils, cdi etc basically everything Id appreciate some suggestion of what bits to get to get it all working. The only requirements I have are nice digi clocks (translogic etc), headlight and rear/brake light. Dont need ignition switch, would prefer either keyless or something similar. Cheers

Personally, I chuck bandit looms on everything. 

Might be worth checking with the likes of Robinson’s though, there might be new stuff available for not much money

I was thinking about getting one of those Ignitech units and a fancy tacho so thought there might be a quick way to do away with old loom. Stick coils conversion possibly while Im at it. Dont want to buy stuff only to find out there was quicker/smarter way of doing things and so I thought I will ask what you guys would suggest for a completely new installation.

i did a Motorgadget M-unit, Ignitech re wire on my GS with a Race Technology dash, had a Translogic but they dont make them any more.

Am I right thinking Ignitech will replace oem cdi? So if I went with your setup Steve, would i need anything else apart from coils to get it running? And would they just connect to Ignitech unit?

thats correct, M-unit and Ignitech do everything the oem cdi did, you just need coils/COP which wire to the ignitech, there is an ignitech specifically for COP set up.

Good stuff, cheers Steve, better to make sure I get the cop ignitech before ordering then. Cheers for all the info 

Is there anything else Id need from old loom to make the bike go?

m-unit blue on mine also , no need for relays/fuses as all built in , better with push buttons

Cheers Carl, got 1 on the way already, seen couple of vids on youtube and its quite impressive bit of gear.

starter relay is all i can think of at the moment

[ziggy]

Apparently its got starter relay build in and its just the starter solenoid thats needed. The main fuse being mentioned as well - would that be the big 30A fuse?

The starter relay and starter solenoid are the same thing, it's just semantics. Is this built into the moon unit (it should be given how much they cost...)?

[ziggy]

I was only going by this @ 2:00

Just looking at that picture tells you it has NOT got a starter solenoid built in - all wires that can be seen won't carry more than about 20A. It may have a starter circuit to trigger an external solenoid that sits between the battery and the starter.

[SFC]

yes you need your starter relay , i had trouble with the charging system but all sorted now

What do you use to switch it on/off @370steve- gnition switch, m.lock or just any on/off switch?

M-lock

[ziggy]

So you need to wave the fob before accessing it with your phone? So cant really remotely start it unless you are next to it anyway. Or am I reading it wrong?

And how the remote start works in case of oil cooled engines when they require chock? Or is it only for injected bikes?
