Fitting a new wiring loom

(1/5) > >>

Multiman:
Hi,
The wiring on my bike is pretty horrible.
Apart from the correct connectors the PO has used chocolate block connectors, blue scotchlock connectors and some very non Honda bullets.
There are extra bits here and there, so having thought about it I have taken the plunge and bought a new loom from DSS.

So the first question is...
PO has replaced the rectifier at some stage and it doesn't have the same cable colours as the original.
Also he's cut off the 6 way connector off the loom and added some non stand bullets to connect loom to rectifier.

The new loom comes with a (5 populated) 6way connector. Green Yellow Yellow Yellow and Red (wiring diagram says red/white but whatever)

I can't find a source of the correct opposite (male) connector, but the bike came with some boxes of bits and guess what I found, yes indeed, a compatible 6 way male connector.
I've just ordered some 6.3mm male spades so all should be good.

Still awake?
The rectifier wiring colours are Black White White White Red.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter which Yellow on the loom goes to which White on the rectifier but could someone confirm please?

Many thanks for your expertise and perseverance!


Apologies for the ridiculously long winded question!

Too late for you now but I avoided the DS loom for my 400 as some of the wires are not the same colour as the original.

I bought one from here in 2020 all colours as original & at the time it was a tad cheaper they do 500 ones as well.
Cant help with your colour question about the rectifier with certainty  - but I think you are right.

Cojycat do pretty much all the connectors including the multi block connectors.

Correct on the colour wiring question, any yellow to any white is fine. Black is almost certainly green and of course red to red sounds correct.

Didn't know Electrex did looms Ted, I'll have a look at them although my old 550 loom is in good nick I've sourced a NOS 550 loom instead.

Multiman:
Thanks guys.
All useful information.
Onwards and upwards

Multiman:
Another question.

The new wiring loom has a plastic "sock" for the rear connectors to the brake light and indicators.
Is this "sock" supposed to locate up through the rear frame above the rear mudguard? Anyone got a picture?

My old loom didn't have one.

Many thanks
