[QUOTE="crusierlover, post: 189663, member: 3280"] how about some answers to some basic questions? irregardless of schematics and I know somone here knows: 1.What gauge wire is used for things like the voltage regulator,coils,solenoid,major components 2.How about the lights-same gauge for headlight,taillight,brake light, signals? 3.Best size for the main ground cable 4.In regard to splices do you splice into same gauge with same gauge? How many times can you do that without drawing too much current.I assume the electricity say coming from a rear turn signal should be going through the same gauge in the front signal,or signal light, or horn.etc. 6.how about the fuse block.Biggest gauge of all? One side of the block would go to the positive battery and the other the negative side? 7.If a bike has a safety switch like kickstand is it ok to cut it, or pull it loose, cap it off to disable it without creating an open circuit? 8. Which type connector is better.bullet,spade,plastic with male and female prongs,electrical tape? I had 2 83 ventures.It had about a 1000 wires.It and many other bikes if one wire is cut in the wrong place many circuits are disabled.The schematic written in chinese gives no clue which one that was.So is it basically if one can figure it out best not to splice into the starter,battery,coil or ignition circuits? I wont ask any more questions about wiring,promise. One last one-if there is a basic course about this, did you guys that know this stuff take one as part of job training.I am a registered nurse in ICU for the past 40 years.No way a new nurse can walk in there and start functioning efficiently without someone like me showing them the ropes.So the 8 questions are my starting point.
