fullscreenaging Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Tonight I've been attaching a stop light kit to my top box. This will give me a tail light, stop light and indicators. I've got everything routed and fixed where it should be no problem but now I'm stuck. I need to connect the kit wires to my bike. There are 3 wires on my bike and only wires for the kit +£ -There are also to connectors to attach. How do I proceed? See all pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 so you have + & - for each indicator and and the stop light so 6 wires in total ??I wouldnt use the scoth locks they are shite and this modifies your OE wiring! I would look at buying the same connectors thats on your wiring loom and make a separate loom to plug in its a bit of faffing but safer in terms of bad connections you need the use of a multi meter to find the live on the brake side and the earth too indicators shouldnt matter unless they are LED then you have to find the live and earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullscreenaging Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Thanks Stu. All of that went over my head lol I'm not good with wires so think I'm gonna need some physical help. I suppose Yamaha is the best port of call for the connector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 nah you won't get one from yamaha you will have to find one possibly one of these http://kojaycat.co.uk/epages/950000457. ... -90-MT-TRIhave a look around that site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullscreenaging Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 That looks exactly the one! So....What else will I need make a loom?Any specific type of wire and how many? How many connectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 excuse the crap drawing this is what I would do this way you arent butchering your wiring top drawing is current set up bottom would be the new loom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullscreenaging Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Right. I think I've got that in my head. Am I right in saying I will need a female connector to fit the 3 way that you linked to?Sorry about all the questions....I really don't get on with wires lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 you will need a male and female as the loom will fit between the two oe connectors then you run your brake lights off this section leaving the stock wiring untouched the next problem you will have is you need a special tool to crimp the connectors........I have one if you want them doing get the bits and come for a ride and we can sort it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullscreenaging Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Nice one. Makes sense now. Thanks for the offer Stu!One more question.....Any sort of wire required? I have some spare from when I ran a cigarette lighter on my last bike to charge my phone. Will that do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 thats probably more than good enough as it can take more than 10 amps thats all I used on a recent one!this is what you would be making but with two extra wires attached which run to your brake light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullscreenaging Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Great!I can't bloody find a female connector that will fit the male! I'll keep looking. Cheers Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 before you order them check ebay for them as postage is usually cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullscreenaging Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Can't find anything on eBay. Just put that in my basket and with postage and vat on top it's nearly £10 cheeky bast*rds! I'll have a look on Amazon too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
