    Dude, thank you for this video. I am a research nut before I start a project. This has been one of the most helpful as far as planning the next stages of my build. Cheers from Chicago

    Happy holidays I watched the revival videos and I thought that if you used the auxiliary terminal it opened it up for another button for lights and stuff

      Alberta Boy Happy New year! The auxiliary is constant voltage supply for the ignition curciut. Not intended for use as aux power far as I know.

    I am going to be doing the same setup on my xs bobber. Way to clean for an ocd guy like myself to a pass up. On a side note I was wondering what master you were running. I have been looking for a replacement other than stock and the Hugh's Handbuilt Slim is damn near nonexistent anymore. Thanks and super clean build.

      stubbs2k5 I got that master cylinder from Mikesxs.net part number 08-0262. And I made the custom cap for it in my shop. Had to look it up couldn't remember.

      furnimaker Thanks, definitely not the easiest part of the build. I had one oversight for the backlighting on speedo contacted motogadget they got right back to me quick. Told me to wire it to the auxiliary port.

      Glad they were responsive, I have some motogadget components that I am using on my project too(m-unit, m-lock, etc). I am looking forward to (and dreading) the wiring part, but I think it will turn out fine, and I'll learn a lot. My bike is fuel injected so it isn't going to be very straight forward, but I'll get it done...eventually. Cheers!

      furnimaker Well one thing made it lil easier I made 2 ground points and ran a 16 gauge wire from headlight to ground point under the seat where frame ground so didn't have to run grounds for each thing back to frame ground made it lil easier. Revival cycles has a nice wiring kit with all the wires and charted out to make it easier. Are you doing a xs650?

    where are the wires for the switches why cant i find any pictures of how the wires get to the switches

    • @todaystopic3527
      @todaystopic3527  3 года назад +1

      The switches are wired through the handle bars so you can't see them. That's how the switches are designed to be wired. So if that's out of your comfort zone I wouldn't buy these switches. It takes some time doing it so wires don't get pinched. But only way to go if you want nice clean bars.

      Hey Cody. I don't have a diagram but maybe with lil more info we can help you out here and other thing is motogadget was great when I had questions on how to wire my auxiliary lights. So back to your problem. It turns over slowly or not at all?

      @Broseidon_GOTB 7 лет назад

      I'm still running the stock Ignition unit, coils and solenoid. I press my Aftermarket starter switch and I hear it trying to turn over. I've pulled the plugs and confirmed that I am getting spark. I have starter switch to m button to m unit. Start output goes to solenoid. Aux output goes to ignition coils red and white wire as well ignition unit.

    • @todaystopic3527
      @todaystopic3527  7 лет назад

      I would check voltages at the starter by disconnecting starter see voltage levels make sure those are good then I would drop starter out and turn starter over and check voltages that way sounds that if starter is engaging it's wired up right I would suspect bad starter itself. Let me know what you find.

      @todaystopic3527  4 года назад

      I just sand blasted the stock levers and gave them a fresh coat of black spray paint. I assume your asking about front brake and clutch levers. Oh wait no the front brake master cylinder is from Mike's XS with a custom cover I milled up.

      @todaystopic3527  7 лет назад

      Ya I ran from battery to the frame ground next to m unit then ran another ground wire from there to a ground lug in the head light and tied everything up there to that made it way easier.

    Did your XS650 come with TCI? My XS1100 has a TCI and was wondering if I can delete it with the M Unit?

    • @todaystopic3527
      @todaystopic3527  6 лет назад

      The M unit can incorporate any type of ignition. Far as I know. But it won't replace the ignition system all together. My xs650 did have TCI. I replaced it with a pamco ignition and charging system.
