connecting some new indicators onto my bike and it has a wire from the led indicator and has a connector that says clip it onto the positive indicator wire.
the wires are black and the black with white line.
which one will be positive?
is it the one that goes onto the base of the lightbulb socket?
One, two free, floor!
Strike them together and watch which way the spark jumps... it jumps TO the +ve wire...Originally Posted by soundbeltfarm
Problem is it happens at the speed of light so you have to have your wits about you.
Or you could grab a multimeter, put it to DC and put it across the wires. If the reading is a -ve value, the wire connected to the negative probe/clip is the one you want otherwise its the one touching the positive probe...

On a TL1000S the Black is positive,the Black/White is going to the Negative terminal on the battery.

Lick it. It's only 12v, you'll be fine.. One will give you a slight tingle, the other won't do anything. The one that tingles is the live one.

If you've only got a test light, clip the lead to the negative terminal on the battery, and turn the indicators on. The wire which makes the test light flash will be the positive

Ok im coming out of my closet just this one time, I too kinda have a curvy figure which makes it worse beacuse im a guy. Well the waist kinda goes in and the bum pushes out. When I was in college the girls in my year would slap me on the arse and squeeze because apparently it is firm, tight...
I wear jeans
.....if I find this as a signature Ill hunt you down, serious, capice?

On Suzuki's black with white stripe is earth/negative
Deep in the heart...
Of course if you really get stuck.... you could just do it the old fashioned way and compare it to the other side wiring!
Generally on suzuki's the black is negative and black/? is positive.

i went off tldv8 wiring diagram.
but thanks for everyones help.
i emailed kitt from sportsbikes nz who i got the part from and i didnt know how to slow the flashing rate down and it didnt realise the insulator looking things were to slow it down .
but he a top guy he had an elctronic one there and said i could just have it so thats awesome.
Aargh, photos!
I would have just wired them up and if they didn't work, I would have swapped the wires around.

Meh, that'd have worked. Actually I can't really see why they wouldn't work either way around anyway..

thers 2 wires and only one connects to the led indicator.
so it has to be the positive one.
but they are going strong now.
