    How to wire for total loss?

    hey wondered if anyone can help me out with how to wire these two bikes
    CB125j
    and an SL125,

    for total loss, hopint to be able to simply kick start, or push start, so we can throw the battery away, cheers.

    So are you after total loss, which involves running a battery but no charging system, or running without a battery at all?

    Hi
    on our GL145's we run no battery,
    from the magneto we use the black and white wire, run it to the points and coil.
    then run the kill switch which earths those wires to turn it off.

    I am not familiar with CG wiring so dont take my wiring advice as gospel

    On my wifes CB100 I could not use the magneto cause apparently somthing about using ac current or dc current cant remember which but wouldn't produce a reliable spark more then once every 10 kicks so I had to use a battery.

    Hope this helps a little
