buying a replacement harness?

[lukefrompalmy]

Hello again guys, I've been doing some basic repairs on my electric harness for my 92' SRV250 and have noticed that shes pretty well used and could deffinetly use replacing. Now being a beginner the idea of making an entirely new harness is at the moment a tad out of my electrical league but I stumbled upon a premade generic harness on trade me here http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/motorbikes/parts-for-sale/electrics/auction-1238619515.htm would it be worth trying out or would altering it to fit the bike likely end up causing more hassle than actually trying to make one myself?

TLDR: is this Trade Me auction worth trying out for a beginner?

Thank you kindly

there's a reason vehicular sparkies charge so much.... it's the "happy ending" you get - that saves you acres of frustration and swearing and chasing mVmAACDCno/nc gremlins.

personally: buy a hundred yards of red, and 20 yards of black, 10A wire, and only do the essential shit.

since new looms basically involve stripping the bike (protip: run it inside the frame for maximum man-points) you're looking at more than a plug-n-play weekend jobbie.


save your pennies for a big-boy bike. list on trademe as "awesome bobber project for newbie possible electric fault should be easy fix"

what exactly is wrong with the harness?

Go to jaycar, and purchase the few individual bits you need that require repair / replacement.

Trying to replace or rebuild the whole thing from scratch if it only has one or two small issues will cause you more headaches than it solves.

it's not as hard as yer might think....
I have built 2 haresses for my TTR250...
one for the ignition / starting / charging..
other is a removable one... lights/flashers/brake etc

the only real trick is the starter... the start button
must have AC going to it with a diode to stop
the AC/DC coming in contact with each other..
"the start buttons not big enough the handle DC current."
Yer can pick the AC up from the rectifier...
