CB500/550 / Wiring question
« on: February 07, 2022, 09:31:29 PM »
Hello Everyone
It's been a while...
Finally got energy to crack on and get back to my Honda.
I got a harness from DS unfortunately colours of wires doesn't quite  match to the original...
I'm wondering if it is better to replace old wires with the new colours or to keep the old original colours.
In a way holding on to the OG colours will help with wiring as I don't need to mark up  the diagram with new colours.

Does any one had a similar issue, if so how did you resolve it?

I wonder if any one with new DSS harness has pictures of the connections in the lamp head?
That would be most helpful.

Thanks

Phil, no doubt you have tons of experience!
For folks like myself without any reference points a part of badly messed up old harness it is rather tricky  ;)

Thanks Bryanj!
That's the plan read about the lower wattage, will give it a go, eventually...

If its a 500/550 dont go standard H4 the generator isnt man enough unless you keep the revs high.
I have heard of lower wattage H4 but not had one on my hands

Thanks Dave
Sounds interesting however I will stick to standard low power H4, as soon as i get the wiring sorted...

Try Paul Goff @  http://www.norbsa02.freeuk.com/
He does a range of really bright LED headlamp bulbs suitable for our old clunkers. Paul always attends the Kempton Park Autojumble so a good excuse to pay a visit to one of the best autojumbles in the UK.
I'm going to get a full set of LED lamps for my Triton from Paul if I ever get the chrome back to finish it!

Hello Everyone!
Gosh It's been few years since I last worked on my Honda.

Finally decided to do a bit of a push, on electrics now...
So I got a ready made loom from DSS unfortunately since wiring on my bike has been badly butchered I'm struggling with working out what color goes where as they obviously don't match... 

I wonder if anyone of you folks have a similar experience and could advice...

Also, to my untrained eye, all the wires have same thickness and I wonder should it be like this?
I have read here :) that headlight's should be thicker cable, I'm planning to go for a H4 upgrade and not sure if that's good idea.

Many thanks
G

Presuming the fuse blows when you press starter button?
If so you're sending 12v positive straight to negative or in other words a dead short which you obviously know as the fuse is blowing. Really solution is to inspect your wiring connections against the wiring diagram for your model one by one and you should spot the problem. Have you by any chance mistakenly bolted a switched live to the frame instead of an earth? Did you have the starter switch apart and trap a wire on reassembly?

Fuse blows when I turn key in ignition,
Point taiken, it has to be something silly as you describe...
Thanks

Thank you Norniron!

Just use 15amp fuse wire to test it.
Saves looking for glass fuses

Thank you for replies.
Still no bloody clue why the main fuse keeps blowing I bet it is something obvious...
I wonder if there's a way of having a fuse which I can re-set it in stead blowing new one each time, so I can test what component is messing me about.

Many thanks!

So here it is pic of my solenoid in stead the congestion charge...
Should I swap it 180 degrees?

Thank you BigAl for response.
I dont have the original solenoid, mine is a nighthawk 650 model, which i got as a replacement of a car solenoid which was fitted by previous owner.
Looking at your post the connections are clear but I wonder if fitting a solenoid 180 degrees(as it is round) will mean that i'm fitting the thick cable from starter motor on opposite side -wrong side. would that make the fuse to blow? does it matter which side you plug the thick positive cable to it?

Many thanks
