After careful consideratlion of all the facts presented here.....................I'm sticking with the weed whacker string handle......................I doubt the battery is being damaged (although I could be wrong) but it's just to convenient not to use.................all I have to do is paint...

I've done that on my 86 VMax but not the 93.................I will make that revision soon............thanks for the reminder

I would definitely say that I have a better understanding of the bike's wiring system than I did before............thankfully I stopped with the unwrapping process in the areas where the loom was easily accessable..............somethings went my way

Everything appears to be working fine............I have only fired it up in the garage and let it run for a few minutes.

Yes the rubber boots are still in place and the wires are colored correctly.............the issue is that both positive and negative terminals are identical and the marking for + and - are just imprinted in the case and not highly visible. I have now painted the plus end of the battery with red...

Hate to admit this.................but learning is learning and I may be the only one to have ever made this majestic mistake. I've been working on resolving my short circuit problem on my 93 VMax. Getting nowhere fast and finally removed everything and disconnected everything and could not...

The difference is with the "Neutral" indicator light...............one side of the light is shown connected to Brown and the other side to Sky blue..................the Brown connection is incorrect and should be Red/Black............an entirely different circuit...............don't know where...

What is the recommended way to seal the bolts that attach the fuel tank sensor to the tank............mine are leaking...........thanks

I am currently updating the drawing and will post it again when I get close to what I consider to be the best layout. Will also add the suggestions like legend and drawing version information and date so people can figure out what is most recent rendition.

Thank you.............didn't know this existed. This is exactly what I'm trying to achieve with the 93 diagram although I'm looking at a little different method by primarily using the ladder logic layout. Some good ideas. Is the original dwg format still available? It appears to be an...

Seemed like a good idea...................and I've seen the car battery carriers that slip over the battery posts and then when you lift they lock into the lead..............but I would agree that it is taking a risk that may not be worth it..............so I do have some seat belt material...

Attached is a combination wiring diagram with ladder logic type layout. My objective for me was to generate a layout drawing that was easy to follow and less confusing that the typical wiring diagrams. This drawing covers the Ignition system and I will be doing another drawing for the other...

Just posting my take on a battery lifting handle. Finally got tired of trying to pry the battery out of the battery pocket and not having something non conductive to tie into the battery terminals. I had some weed eater string laying around and I used it as the non conductive handle and...

I've seen a number of references to starter pushbutton switches not working properly, sticking and not returning to the neutral position. My switch started to malfunction over a year ago and I was able to manually move the switch back into the neutral position to get the headlight to turn back...

Finally found a good wiring diagram in a Service Manual under the Model E section.............everything seems to match my 93 and shows the error in the color coded wiring diagram that I downloaded here............just spent the day repairing a "Starter" pushbutton switch and will be posting on...

Here is what I have on the wiring diagram conversion to ladder logic diagram....................somethings not right in the "Neutral" indicator area......................but that is the way it's laid out on the wiring diagram unless I missed something............removed dwg for...

Bypassed interlocks and tied power directly to starter solenoid and used start switch to run starter with no problem................so back to checking out the wiring.......................I did find that the old Starter Cutoff Relay had an internal short between the coil and contact...

Brand new battery...............12.85 VDC

With the Neutral switch off, no light, and the sidestand down and the clutch not pulled in...............the starter cutoff relay picks up when I press the start switch...............??????????...........should be interlocked with the clutch switch or the neutral switch or the side stand...

Thanks...............I have confirmed the difference in wiring between the 1985 - 1989 models and the 1990 - 2003 models...............I also have a 1985 model and it is different........................nothing major just subtle changes.................same basic layout......................I'm...
