Thanks for all the information. You really know your stuff aha. It’s nice. The only ground I have is the black wire coming from the terminals with...
So I’m still confused. Should those wires be getting constant power or no?
Will it turn power off to the whole thing? Or just the orange/grey wires? Because they’re staying hot. I checked my ohms for my coils and they’re...
Hey everyone quick question... so I rewired my bike from scratch because my harness was trash. I watched a few good videos and looked up some...
So I accidentally bought the “wrong” cdi for my 81 maxim 650. It’s a little taller(?) if that makes sense. But it only has 4 connections other...
okay so I blew my CDI for my Yamaha xj650 maxim. I accidentally bought a cdi for a midnight maxim 650. Mine has 5 connectors on it and the...
I mean it's got gas and what do you mean by not enough carbs?
I cleaned it with white vinegar and some bolts by shaking it around. Then I used some kreem to line it. It seems to be doing good.
Alrighty so I got the gas tank cleaned up and I've been trying to start it. It acts like it wants to start it'll get the low "wump wump" sound...
So my battery was bad. I got a new one today (luckily it was still under warranty.) But... Now my gas is all rusty. I guess I didn't clean the...
Anybody have any experience putting their electronics (reg/rec, ignitor, battery, excess wires) so I'm planning on putting this stuff in a old...
So I charged my battery fully it was at 12.69 When I hooked it up to the bike. It dropped to 10.00 when I turned it over. But the starter is still...
Okay so I decided to put my battery and excess wire inside a old military ammo box and mount it under the seat. My battery level was at 12.00v (I...
Thanks guys. You all have been a lot of help. I'm not so sure it would have happened without you're help and a lot of time on YouTube
Shes running you guys!!! Shes finally running. I turned her over for the first time last Saturday. But... She turned over then revved really...
I havent mounted it yet. I'm still looking for a way to. I was thinking to put 2 screws through it and connect it to the steel plate I welded for...
So I figured out that my CDI box was fried. Kinda feel dumb not to look there but anyways. I ordered a "like new" one off eBay for a reasonable...
I know its been a while. But did that spoked rim work?
I got a question for anyone who has ditched their wiring harness and just rewired the whole bike themselves. Do you have a diagram you used? Any...
Running pods means you had to rejet correct? In putting pods in my xj650 now and I was wondering were a good place to order jets from was
If you don't mind me asking where did you get the fender from?
Thanks guys. I got it to turn over. I was missing a wire to my starter switch but now its turning. But I'm not getting any spark. My battery is at...
I'm selling the airbox of my xj650 maxim. Its best offer so let me know and we can make a deal!
My grounds are good I've checked a few times. I have a starter switch connected to the2 wires coming out of the selenoid. But when I push the...
Hey guys I have been busy with the bike and I've decided to rewire the thing myself. I've got some good diagrams and I've got it almost all hooked...
It's still only a one time spark. Still no spark when I'm cranking only when I jump the cdi and toggle the kill switch. And its only one spark.
Okay tell me if I'm wrong but could I replace the control by connecting the 2 r/w wires and then getting a push button start and wiring the b/w...
Okay so when I jump it I get a spark. So how would you recommend me doing a short term fix? By getting rid of the control? What do you mean wire a...
What do you mean put a jumper across the wires? Just splice them together? Or splice a wire from one r/w to the other r/w?
Thanks if I jump it and it sparks that means my tci is bad? I've opened the right control and cleaned all my contacts already. Ive made sure all...
How do I bypass the kill switch? I was also thinking its the tci because it does give me a spark when I switch it back and forth.
Yes its been pulled since I bought the bike. The PO spliced the wires together.
Okay so I fixed the fuse issue. Now I have a 25 main and 10 for the other 3 including the ignition. But still no spark. Only when I switch the...
Okay so there's obviously a bad short somewhere. Gotta find that. And also. Theres no spark when I push the start button but when I switch the...
Okay so my battery is reading at 12.5 and I'm getting 10.3 volts at the tci, and both ignition coils and 10.3 also at the starter relay
Thanks. I actually had to change a fuse to a little higher amp fuse and now its turning over with no problems. Next I gotta try to get a spark....
She Turns over!!! Finally Hahah! After 2 months of buying parts and working on her shes almost a running motorcycle.
Right I understand what its saying and what to do but on his instructions for step 3 if you look theres 2 red wires coming off the selenoid. On my...
This is a photo of my selenoid. The diagram on the thread to check your starter circuit shows 2 red wires. One going to the main fuse like you've...
Thanks for all the help Rooster53 I'm for sure going to go through it all tomorrow and see where those steps get me. But I was taking a quick look...
Okay I did as you said. The main has power at all times. Around 12.3 volts. No other fuses had power at that time. Then I installed the other...
I also got power to all 4 fuses.
Okay so i got my neutral light and my blinkers back. But still no power to the starter. Or at least its not turning over.
[Q UOTE="Rooster53, post: 568309, member: 14963"]Not sure if you have spliced or changed wire colors, but normally how it goes on the 650 Maxim,...
Thanks for the reply. All this handy dandy wire work is the previous owners doing. I'm trying to figure out what he did. There's spliced and...
