--Electrical System Wiring: Wiring harness components and related.
ELECTRICAL WIRE HARNESS PARTS: INTRODUCTION:
Wiring issues tend to cause quite a bit of confusion and distress to many people, for a variety of reasons, the foremost reason being that some electrical device isn't functioning properly, or at all! An that's when the intimidation starts to set in, staring at a maze of seemingly identical wires, connectors, terminals, etc............sometimes even hidden inside their protective sheathing.
We're here to help............with the physical aspects of your wiring system components, at least! Don't ask us about the electricity that flows inside those wires and terminals, though, it's a complete mystery to us, too..........
As a more familiar and easily understandable introduction to the entire wiring subject, let's take the case of a typical household situation: your toaster.
A toaster is what we will call a device. It is one of many types of devices that you can plug into the main electrical wiring harness that runs throughout your house (which starts at the fusebox or fuse panel located somewhere in your house). This main electrical wiring harness is normally hidden behind the sheetrock walls, and is normally only "visible" to you when an electrical outlet (or, a light switch, etc.) branches off of it and pokes thru the wall.
At that point, you see a wall outlet, the common three-place receptacle that you could plug your device (toaster, TV, computer, etc.) into. This wall "outlet" is actually composed of a few component pieces though:
- the wires that are part of that main wiring harness. In homes, which use AC current, you typically have 3 wires that go to each outlet: positive, negative, and a neutral. DC electrical systems, as used in most vehicles, typically only have a positive and a negative ("ground") wire as part of each circuit.
- each of those wires has, on each of its ends, a metal wire-end terminal that allows the physical interaction between two wires that are being hooked into one another to be secure.
- those three wires are all joined together, for organizational and safety purposes, into a plastic connector block or "shell". The wire, with their (typically, brass) metal end terminals, are placed within and permanently aligned and oriented in relation to one another within this connector block or shell.
Okay, so good so far........
But once you start thinking about it, that device that you want to power----the toaster, the TV, the whatever-----it also has a plastic connector block or shell on it, also. It's what we typically call a "plug", but once again, what we call a plug is really composed of the same three component parts: wires, a metal wire-end terminal which is attached to the end of each wire, and a plastic connector block or shell (called the "plug") that holds the wires and their end terminals in alignment.
And notice, that the device (the toaster) may have a long length of wire from it to its connector block or shell (called a "plug"). This long run of wire(s), with their attached end plug, is what we refer to as a "lead-in harness", since it "leads into" the device.
Now in order to get our Pop-tarts toasted, we must get power from the main wire harness to the toaster, and of course we do this by joining the connector block on the end of the toaster "lead-in" harness (the "plug") to the connector block on the end of the main house wire harness (the "outlet").
In other words, we "plug" (or "join") the connector block on the end of the "device" into the connector block from the main house harness (the "outlet").
Okay, I know the above explanation is kind of silly, but it's meant to help clarify what the descriptive terms are in a manner that is hopefully easy to understand. On your bike, there is a main wire harness, and this main harness has all types of branch circuits for each final-use device----such as your handlebar control switches, your headlight, each of your switches and relays, the regulator, each turn signal, the coils, etc.
Each branch circuit has the appropriate wires for the device it is being connected to, each device (well, most of them!) has its own lead-in harness, and at the point of connection there are wires, each with a metal wire-end terminal, and all housed together in a plastic connector block or shell. There is a connector block or shell on the device side of the connection, and a mating version of it on the main harness side of the connection.
Since the connector blocks are designed to "mate" together, there are both a "male" and "female" version of each style connector block that only mates into one of its own "kind" (unlike in your house, where most devices can plug into any main harness outlet). On your bike you want to plug in your coil connector only to its proper main harness circuit wiring, and thus different types (shapes, sizes, and colors) of connector blocks are used on each circuit. In this way, it insures that the handlebar switch (the device) can only be plugged into its proper main harness circuit mating connector shell that is on the main harness.
So when you read the description below, and it says that a particular connector shell is used on:
- Starter solenoid lead harness, on the main harness side of the connection: all XJ-series bikes (except all XJ700 and XJ750-X models).
now you will understand what that means-----that the particular connector shell being referenced is used on this particular "device" (in the above example, for the starter solenoid), and, it is used on the main harness "side" of the connection of this device to the main wiring harness. The "other side" of this joint would use the opposite mate of this same style connector block, and would be described as:
- Starter solenoid lead harness, on the solenoid lead-in harness side of the connection: all XJ-series bikes (except all XJ700 and XJ750-X models).
......and thus holds the wires and terminals that are on the short "lead-in" harness that actually goes into the starter solenoid (device) itself.
Also note that in some situation, the same style connectors can be used on different circuits, and for different devices, but are color-coded differently so as to distinguish one circuit from another.
Whew! Ain't electricity fun? If you get confused along the way, just holler, and we'll do our best to get you (and your harness) "connected" properly.
ELECTRICAL HARNESS WIRE:
But not just any kind of wire! We offer only the highest-quality GXL cross-linked PVC-coated wire in the correct gauge stranded copper core in both SOLID-COLOR and TRACER-STRIPE WIRE. This wire is far superior to common chain-store wire and is available in most of the original tracer-stripe color coding scheme so you can keep your harness original or build a new harness and still trace your circuits properly.
A brief comparison illustrates the superiority of GXL wire versus standard wire: most "regular" automotive-grade wire is designated as a "GPT" grade of extruded PVC wire, and it is rated for -40 to +80-C temperatures. This type wire, if it gets hot enough, will not only melt, but it will also catch on fire.....a great way to ruin your day, your wire harness, your bike, etc. GPT grade wire is basically what was used originally by Yamaha in your harness, and is normally what you can buy in retail home-improvement and hardware stores. It is created by heating PVC and then quickly extruding it through a die over a particular size of stranded (or solid) wire core.
GXL grade wire, although still a PVC-based product, is formed by extruding PVC through a tube, under intense heat and pressure, in order to 'cross-link' and change the molecular properties of the insulation to a much more durable state. This is why GXL wire is rated for use from -51 to +125-C (225-F) temperatures. Additionally, although GXL wire will still melt when its heat rating is exceeded, it is not flammable, and that may be a very important consideration for you should a short ever develop within your electrical system someday..........
What size is my wire?:
Unfortunately, factory wiring diagrams indicate almost every other parameter about your wiring harness----wire color, wire connector type, where it goes to and where it comes from and where it's spliced together, etc.-----but does not specify the wire gauge (or size) of the wires used.
A little bit on wire "gauge" sizes. The gauge of a wire is basically what size the inner wire core is, and that size determines the wire current-carrying capacity. The lower the gauge number, the larger the wire size and thus current-handling capacity. Thus a 14-gauge wire is larger (physically and in current carrying capacity) than a 16-gauge, or an 18-gauge, or a 20-gauge, etc. size wire.
Yes, we know that's "backwards", but that's the way it is. In fact, wire gauges (often noted as "AWG", which stands for American Wire Gauge Standard----and yes, there is also a metric wire sizing "standards", too!) are really a medieval sort of thing.....for example, you are holding a piece of wire in your hand----perhaps the solid white wire that goes to your alternator stator----and you're wondering "what gauge wire is this?" I mean, you really do want to know that information, since you want to replace it with that gauge wire or larger (meaning a "lower" number wire gauge size), but never a smaller (= a higher wire gauge size) wire, as the original wire is designed to carry a certain amount of electrical energy, and substituting a smaller wire size could cause voltage loss (think: dim headlights, overcharged batteries, overheated wires, melted connectors, a small fire starting somewhere near your gas tank, etc.-------all sorts of devastation, electrically-speaking).
So how to you determine what size wire is in your hand? Well, this is kind of confusing, but here goes:
- for stranded-core wire (which is what is used on most vehicular applications, including these bikes), you should do the following:
* Make a small cut about 1/2" long and remove the insulation from the wire.
* Then you will need to count the individual strands of copper....how many individual strands are there?
* Next, use a micrometer and measure the thickness of any one single strand.
* Then, look at the following information to determine the gauge of your automotive wire:
# of strands / diameter of each wire strand
7 x .028" = 20-gauge wire
(this example means that a 20-gauge wire has 7 individual wire strands, each strand measuring .028" in diameter)
16 x .030" =18-gauge wire
19 x .029" =16-gauge wire
19 x .027" =14-gauge wire
19 x .025" =12-gauge wire
19 x .023" =10-gauge wire
19 x .021" = 08-gauge wire
37 x .021" = 06-gauge wire
Wow, that's a lot of work, isn't it?
Here's the shortcut method that applies to your harness wires.........you measure the outside diameter of the wire in your hand (meaning, the O.D. of the insulation) and that measurement tells you what the AWG of the wire core is. NOTE: make sure that you measure the wire on a straight portion of the wire, and it's useful to take 2 or 3 different measurements to make sure you are not measuring a distorted, "egg-shaped" area of the insulation:
If the wire OD is 2.03mm - 2.19mm (.0799 to .0862"), then it's 20-gauge (20g) AWG or 0.40mm squared (metric size).
NOTE: 20g wire is rated for a maximum load of 11 amps of current at 12VDC.
If the wire OD is 2.26mm - 2.42mm (.0890 to .0953"), then it's 18-gauge (18g) AWG or 0.75mm squared (metric size).
NOTE: 18g wire is rated for a maximum load of 16 amps of current at 12VDC.
If the wire OD is 2.48mm - 2.64mm (.0976 to .1039"), then it's 16-gauge (16g) AWG or 1.25mm squared (metric size).
NOTE: 16g wire is rated for a maximum load of 22 amps of current at 12VDC.
If the wire OD is 2.89mm - 3.05mm (.1138 to .1201"), then it's 14-gauge (14g) AWG or 2.00mm squared (metric size).
NOTE: 14g wire is rated for a maximum load of 32 amps of current at 12VDC.
NOTE: 14g wire is the largest size wire normally found in the wiring harnesses on these bikes. Battery cables and the solenoid-to-starter motor cable are larger, of course, but of all the main harness and accessory wiring, 14-gauge is the largest that you'll find.
If the wire OD is 3.49mm - 3.65mm (.1374 to .1437"), then it's 12-gauge (12g) AWG or 3.00mm squared (metric size).
NOTE: 12g wire is rated for a maximum load of 41 amps of current at 12VDC.
If the wire OD is 4.32mm - 4.48mm (.1701 to .1764"), then it's 10-gauge (10g) AWG or 5.00mm squared (metric size).
NOTE: 10g wire is rated for a maximum load of 55 amps of current at 12VDC.
So, for example, if you measure your white alternator stator lead wires, you'll find them to be about .1015" in outer diameter, and referring to the chart above, you determine that they are thus 16-gauge wire. And therefore you should always replace them, if needed, with 16-gauge or larger wire (meaning 16-gauge, 14-gauge, 12-gauge, etc.).
If you measure your solid red harness lead wire that comes off your solenoid or regulator unit----which is the main power supply for your harness-----you might find it measures about .1185" in diameter. Again referring to the chart above, it is therefore a 14-gauge wire.
REMEMBER: always use the same-size (gauge) wire as original or a larger size (a numerically smaller gauge size) or otherwise you are setting yourself up for major problems and the risk of fire!
What color is my wire?:
There are two different formats of wire insulation colors in your harness:
* solid colored wire, which is pretty self-explanatory, and.....
* tracer wire, which is a solid color wire imprinted with a permanent, straight, contrasting-color stripe along its entire length. This "tracer stripe" makes it easy to identify any particular wire and what circuit it belongs to.
For the sake of both clarity, future troubleshooting, and safety, we always strongly urge people to replace wires with the same color and format (solid color vs. tracer-stripe) wire as was originally used, or, if you're building your own custom harness, to follow the same color-coding standards as what was originally used by Yamaha (for example: the main power feed wire for the harness is a solid red wire; solid black wires are ground circuit wires; a solid yellow wire is the rear brake light wire; a horn wire is a solid pink wire; the coils are fed by a solid orange wire, a solid grey wire, and a red wire with a white tracer stripe, etc.).
This attention to detail make for a professional harness build or repair, and greatly simplifies your life in the future!
In your factory wire diagram, solid color wires are identified by their solid color abbreviation, which are:
B = Black
Br = Light Brown
Ch = Chocolate Brown, which is a very dark brown, almost black.
Dg = Dark green, which is a very dark green, almost black.
Gr = Green, which could be a light or medium green color.
Gy = Grey, which is a light grey color
L = Blue, which could be a medium or a navy blue or even a very dark blue, almost black.
P = Pink
O = Orange, which is a bright orange
R = Red
Sb = Light Blue or "Sky" Blue, a very light, baby-blue color.
W = White
Y = Yellow, which is a bright yellow
So a solid Black wire would be coded as "B", while a solid Light Brown wire appears as "Br", while a Dark "Chocolate" Brown wire is abbreviated as "Ch".
Tracer wires are identified first by their primary wire color abbreviation (from the chart above), and then a slash mark (/), followed by the tracer stripe color abbreviation.
So for instance, a Black (B) wire that has a thin Yellow (Y) tracer stripe will appear on the diagrams as B/Y or
B/y (the lower case letter makes the identify of the "tracer" color more obvious).
A Red (R) wire with a white tracer stripe would be labeled as R/W (or R/w), while a Red wire with a black tracer stripe would be R/B (or R/b).
Be aware that some tracer stripe colors are very difficult to tell apart from each other (particularly white vs. yellow tracer stripes), while other tracer stripe colors are just hard to see because of the lack of color contrast (for instance, a dark blue wire with a black tracer stripe).
Solid Black (B) Wire:
Used for various harness ground wires, this wire can vary in size from 20-gauge (which is not available, use the next larger size 18-gauge instead) all the way down to 12-gauge, so make sure you measure the wire size you need and order the correct size. If in doubt, use the largest size possible!

Solid Blue Wire:
Although the factory wiring diagrams only specified the difference between the Sky Blue ("Sb") color and a generic Blue ("L") color in their wiring diagrams, there were in fact a number of different shades of "blue", with only the Sky Blue color being somewhat consistent.
- Sky Blue (abbreviated as "Sb" in factory wire diagrams), which is a very pale baby blue color. Your neutral switch and starting circuit cut-off relay use this color wire.
- Blue (abbreviated as "L" in factory wire diagrams), which may be either a:
- Light Blue.
- Medium Blue.
- Dark Blue-------which is a very, very dark (almost black) shade of blue.
We offer a "Light Blue" color which is slightly darker than the Sky Blue color, and a Dark Blue, which a very dark blue color.
The solid blue wires (besides the Sky Blue) are normally used for the rear tail light circuit and some of the dash lighting circuits.
NOTE: many of the original wires on your harness will be 20-gauge. We do not offer 20-gauge wire and recommend that you substitute the slightly larger 18-gauge wire in place of it.

Solid Brown Wire:
Originally, there were 2 shades of brown wire used on original harnesses:
- Light Brown (abbreviated as "Br" in factory wire diagrams), which is a light or medium shade of brown. This wire is used in a variety of places within the harness; it is one of the most commonly used wire colors. Note that the main power feed from the ignition switch to the fusebox is brown, and it is a 14-gauge wire.
- Dark Brown (abbreviated as "Ch" in factory wire diagrams, for "Chocolate") and is a very, very dark----almost black----shade of brown). Your turn signal circuit uses this shade of brown wire.
We offer a Light Tan colored GXL wire which can be substituted for the Light Brown (Br) wire, as well as an actual Light Brown (Br) colored GPT grade wire. The GPT grade wire is not as durable as the GXL wire, but it is a much closer match to the original in color.
The Dark Brown colored wire is a very close to the original Dark "Chocolate" Brown (Ch) shade of brown.
NOTE: many of the original wires on your harness will be 20-gauge. We do not offer 20-gauge wire and recommend that you substitute the slightly larger 18-gauge wire in place of it.

Solid Green Wire:
Originally, there were 2 shades of green wire used on original harnesses:
- Green (abbreviated as "Gr" in factory wire diagrams), which may be either a:
- Light Green wire.
- Medium Green wire.
The above colors are used for the headlight circuit and for the alternator rotor. Note that the solid green wires coming from the alternator rotor brush plate itself is a braided-cloth covered wire, and the standard plastic insulated wire that we offer should not be substituted for the cloth-covered wire.
- Dark Green (abbreviated as "Dg" in factory wire diagrams) and is a very, very dark----almost black----shade of green). Your turn signal circuit uses this shade of green wire.
The "Green" (G) wire could be either the Light or the Medium Green color. It is not unusual for an original harness to have multiple color variations of "Green" wire.
We offer a Light Green and a Medium Green colored wire. We do not have the original Dark Green (Dg) shade of green available.

Yellow Tracer Wire:
Used for the turn signal flasher and flasher canceller, and on some models, the headlight wiring, this wire was originally either 20-gauge (use 18-gauge instead) or 18-gauge. Note that some models used a Solid Yellow wire for the headlight circuit (instead of a yellow with green tracer stripe wire).
NOTE: where used, most original models use a dark green tracer stripe on these yellow wires; our replacement wire has a light green tracer stripe instead.
NOTE: where used, most original models use a red tracer stripe on these yellow wires; our replacement wire has an orange tracer stripe instead. The original yellow with red tracer wires were 18-gauge; the only replacement we have available is in a thicker 16-gauge wire.

Wire Harness Tape:
Factory wire harness bundles were taped with a black electrically-insulating protective VINYL ELECTRICAL TAPE WRAP to provide both an orderly routing of the main harness wires and for additional wire protection. We have the correct 19mm wide black, high-voltage, adhesive-backed, all-weather stretch tape to allow you to repair or re-tape your harness. NOTE: XJ750 Maxim models that used this hard-shell, plastic ribbed tubing to protect the wire bundles had the hard-shell tubing externally wrapped with this tape.

Additionally, most harnesses had a few short turns of COLORED VINYL ELECTRICAL TAPE WRAP to provide visual identification of "what connector goes where?" during harness assembly and installation. Always located just by the connector shell, about 3-4 turns of this tape was used to both tape off any vinyl sleeving and to properly identify what the connector plugged into. Used primarily at the TCI connector (from the pick-up coils) and at the various small "cube" style relays (headlight relays, sidestand safety switch relays, etc.). Since all of these harness connector shells are the same style and type (4-position, horizontally oriented 2-over-2), this small tape wrap served as a way of indicating which of these many identical connectors went to which component.

WIRE-END TERMINALS and TERMINAL SHEATHS:
The WIRE-END TERMINALS are the brass (or, for added corrosion resistance, tin-plated brass) metal ends that are used to actually "join" wires together at their mating point (usually within a plastic connector block or "shell") These terminals come in a variety of original shapes, styles, and sizes to allow you to properly replace the ones used on your harness, and are of the "OEM" (known as "open-arm" or "open barrel") style that allows both soldering and crimping of both the wire core and the wire insulation to the terminal, providing the ultimate in strain relief, security, and corrosion resistance.
NOTE: these OEM style terminals require a special crimping tool to properly attach the terminal to the stripped wire end; regular "chain-store" terminal crimpers (for "closed barrel" style terminals) are designed to be used with those "chain-store" style terminals and will not work properly (nor will, for heaven's sake, pliers!) with these OEM style terminals! The crimping process and specialized tool required can be visualized here:
http://www.xj4ever.com/crimping my style.pdf
Additionally, it is strongly advised that you obtain a few extra terminals beyond whatever number you need for your project. It is very easy to burst the clamping arms on these open-barrel style terminals if you are inexperienced at using these types of terminals and their specialty crimping tool and procedures.
The proper OEM "open-barrel" style crimping tools can be found further below in the "Electrical Tools" section, as can the terminal de-pinning tools (special flat-blade "picks" that are used to extract a terminal that has been inserted and locked into a connector shell).
The ends of all wires are terminated either into a "device" (the oil sending unit, the brake switch unit, etc.) or with a metal WIRE-END TERMINAL. These metal terminals are normally made of solid brass, although some tin-plated brass terminals can also be found (and either type performs just as well as the other). End terminals come in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and styles, such as FLAT BLADES, ROUND PINS, RINGS or SPLIT-RINGS, and BULLETS are the most common. And of course, there are MALE and FEMALE versions of each terminal, and some types also are available in different sizes (small, medium, or large Flat Blade End Terminals, for example or configurations, such as the single, double, or triple female Bullet End Terminals.
Wire-end terminal PROTECTIVE SHEATHS are used primarily with the round Bullet Wire-end Terminals, and usually on the female bullet terminal only. Some of the 90-degree end terminals (primarily at the horns) use a flexible black rubber sheath or cover to protect the bare end terminal.
We offer both the original style end terminals, as well as some aftermarket, general-wiring style of BUTT CONNECTORS and standard FLAT BLADE WIRE-END TERMINALS for splicing or adding in non-stock connect/dis-connect features into your harness.
ALL of our original-style terminals are the correct metric size terminals like the types used originally on your harness, and thus will properly fit (and lock into) the matching male or female terminal "mate" on your original harness, and will also fit and lock properly into your original plastic connector shells. Please note that there are a wide variety of wire-end terminal types available in the marketplace, and most "USA" (inch fractional sizes) will not mate with original terminals, nor do they have the correct retention tab needed to lock into original connector shells!
On your original harness, each specific wire for a particular circuit not only used a designated size and color wire, but at least one end is terminated by a specific style and type of Wire-End Terminal.

Original type Round-Pin Wire-End Terminals:
NOTE: it is easy to confuse these round pin wire-end terminals with the similar "bullet" terminals listed elsewhere. Round Pin Wire-End Terminals are always used inside a hard plastic connector shell, while the "bullet" style terminals are never inserted into a hard-shell connector body, and are instead placed within a soft, flexible, clear plastic sheath. All of these "open-barrel" style terminals are designed to be both crimped onto the wire insulation and to the bare wire.
NOTE: we'll attempt a bit of clarity here, as we realize it's easy to get "in the weeds" over these different types of "round-pin" terminals.
There were originally 2 different suppliers to Yamaha (and probably other Japanese motorcycle builders) of shells (and their matching terminals) which used "round-pin" terminals......note that about 80% of harness connector shells and their terminals are of the "flat blade" (in varying widths) style, and for the most part (but not absolutely!), such terminals and shells are both readily available and interchangeable.
The rest of the hard plastic connector shells are of the less-common "round pin" style, and these types of shells/terminals come in two different flavors (manufacturers), and neither their shells nor their terminals are interchangeable. These 2 suppliers are Yazaki and Mitsubishi.
Yazaki shells and terminals are much more common on the harnesses, and luckily, there are reproductions available of those shells. However, the repro Yazaki shells....while they will physically mate up with an original Yazaki shell...use unique terminals which will not interchange into original Yazaki shells (and vice-versa: original Yazaki terminals won't fit into the repro shells).
The other type of "round pin" terminals and shells used on these era bike harnesses were made by Mitsubishi Electric, and were imprinted "SJD" on the terminal and this identifier was also cast into the plastic connector shell itself (note: male shells had the "SJD" cast onto the front "face' of the shell, and thus it's pretty easy to see.....small, but readable. Female shells have the SJD marking cast inside the terminal cavity, and thus it may be very difficult to see. Of course, if the male shell has SJD cast into it, then its matching female shell is also made by Mitsubishi, whether you can see the marking or not). Mitsubishi got out of the motorcycle terminal and shell business quite some time ago, and thus original shells and terminals are hard to come by. These Mitsubishi "SJD" shells were mainly used on the control switch harness connections and on XJ700 gauge cluster harnesses, and are 6-place shells with a "divider" or separator bar internal to shell that "divides" the shell into a 4-place and a 2-place section.
The HCP28300TP and HCP28301TP terminals below are the correct terminals which will fit original "SJD" shells only. We do not currently have any original or reproduction "SJD" style shells, so these terminals can only be used to replace missing or damaged terminals used with your original SJD shells.
The HCP24540TP and HCP24541TP terminals below are the correct terminals for the "repro" Yazaki round-pin style shells mentioned in their description . They will not fit the original Yazaki shells.
The HCP9326TP and HCP9327TP terminals below are the correct terminals for the specific shells mentioned in their description. They will not fit any original "SJD" or Yazaki shells, and while the male pin terminal is a "round pin", the female receiver terminal is actually a somewhat "triangle" shaped terminal into which a round male pin will fit.
Finally: some people wonder why one round-pin style terminal can't be stuffed into a shell from a different manufacturer. Basically, it's because the manufacturers of the shells (and their matching terminals) made their products just different enough so you had to use their complete suite of components (shells and terminals) to eliminate competitive substitution attempts. Typically, the differences involve how the metal terminal is designed and/or shaped, and specifically how the terminal is able to "latch" or "lock" into the plastic connector shell....and the unique style of "latching" also means that the internal cavity of the connector shell is unique, too (in order to accept the specialized terminal design).

Original type “Fork” (or “split-ring”) type Wire-End Terminals :
These original style Bullet style Wire-End Terminals are some of the most commonly used style of connectors on your wiring harness, found on the end of brake and tail-light wire leads, turn signal leads, most of the small sending units (brake, oil, and battery fluid level sensors), brake light switches, sidestand switches, and others. All of these "open-barrel" style terminals are designed to be both crimped onto the wire insulation and to the bare wire.

Original type Bullet Wire-End Terminals and Protective Sheathes:
These original style Bullet style Wire-End Terminals are some of the most commonly used style of connectors on your wiring harness, found on the end of brake and tail-light wire leads, turn signal leads, most of the small sending units (brake, oil, and battery fluid level sensors), brake light switches, sidestand switches, and others. All of these "open-barrel" style terminals are designed to be both crimped onto the wire insulation and to the bare wire.
NOTE: it is easy to confuse these bullet style wire-end terminals with the similar "round pin" terminals listed above. The Female Bullet Wire-End Terminals are always used inside a soft, flexible, clear plastic sheath, while the "round pin" style terminals are always inserted into a hard-shell connector body. Male Bullet Wire-End Terminals are typically "bare", although they will, on occasion, have a small, clear protective sheath around them. In any case, just remember that bullet terminals are never found within a hard plastic connector shell.
Note carefully that while the male bullet terminals are always a solitary terminal on the end of a single wire, the somewhat "promiscuous" female bullet terminals are designed to accept either one, two, or three individual male terminals. The dual- and triple-female bullet terminals are typically used to accumulate multiple smaller ground wires back into a single larger main ground wire.
The clear protective SHEATH for these bullet terminals are located further below in the "Connector Block and Terminal Sheath" section of the catalog.

Aftermarket Butt Connector Terminals:
When you want to permanently join two pieces of wire that will not ever need to be disconnected at that joint, then a tubular BUTT CONNECTOR is the proper terminal style to use. Available in either un-insulated or fully insulated versions, there's a size and style for any situation you might encounter, including STEP-DOWN BUTT CONNECTORS when joining two wires of greatly differing sizes (for instance, joining a 12-gauge size wire to an 18-gauge size wire), as well as the latest technological miracle, the CRIMPABLE, HEAT-SHRINK, SOLDER-SLEEVE BUTT CONNECTOR.
Please keep these definitions in mind when determining which type of connector is best suited for your needs:
Crimpable means that you insert the bare wire end into the hollow central cavity of this tube-like butt connector terminal, and then crush the tube with a proper style "closed barrel" terminal crimper tool. This process mechanically captures the bare wire only (and not the insulation) securely inside the connector.
Non-insulated means that the butt connector is a bare terminal; it has no protective sleeve over it, and thus should be covered with shrink tube or electrical tape of some type after the wire are installed and the connector crimped and soldered to the wires.
An insulated connector, or the other hand, comes with a hard plastic outer insulation or, even better, with a heat-shrink material as part of the terminal, making the entire installation process that much simpler.
Solder-sleeve means that the terminal has an internal slug of solder so that while you're heating the shrink sleeve, you'll also melt an internal solder ring that then flows and fills the internal cavity of the connector (and thus the bare wire) with a warm, solder-y goodness.
Now, is this a great country, or what?
Please note that each Butt Connector terminal only fits a certain range of wire sizes, so make sure you order the proper size for the wire(s) that you'll be joining. It's pretty useful to keep a variety of sizes available for use.
All of these terminals are a "closed-barrel" style, and require a proper style crimping tool for such type connectors, which can be found further below in the "Electrical Tools" section.

WIRE-END TERMINAL CONNECTOR BLOCKS:
When a number of circuits (and thus their wires) all go to the same functional area......for instance, to the speedometer cluster.........then all of the particular wire end terminals are placed in specific locations within a plastic CONNECTOR SHELL or "BLOCK" that holds all of the end terminals in a particular orientation, and encased in a protective hard plastic, colored shell. These connector shells or "blocks" come in a variety of configurations, based on how many wire terminals they hold (1, 2, 3, all the way up to 9 positions), their physical configurations (straight across, T-shaped, rectangular, etc.), their color (most are white or off-white, but some are black, red, green, or even blue), and whether the connector shells have mechanical latches on them (most do not, but some of the most vital, "must not come part" connector blocks----such as the main power lead from the battery, and the coil primary input leads----have fail-safe latches to increase their security).
The original style CONNECTOR BLOCKS listed below are sorted by how many wire end terminals they are capable of holding, and each is listed as to where it used on the each model bike harness, and on which side of the connection it is used on. They will correctly replace and mate with the stock connector shells already on your harness, eliminating the need (and temptation!) to fill up your harness with blue butt splices and bathroom caulking whenever a harness repair is needed........

WIRE ASSEMBLY and SOLDERING TOOLS:
In order to properly attach a wire to another wire, or a wire to its end terminal, you will need to both CRIMP the wires together (or crimp the wire to the end terminal "arms"), and then apply SOLDER to the wire to insure both a mechanically strong and an electrically conductive connection. Additionally, you should apply either a SHRINK TUBE over the connection, or use a LIQUID ELECTRICAL TAPE sealer or wrap the connection with a VINYL ELECTRICAL TAPE product.
Remember, corrosion is the big enemy of electrical connectors, and everything you can do to prevent moisture from entering the bare wire joint will save you untold amounts of electrical grief down the road!
Of course, you'll need some professional-grade tools and supplies to produce professional-level results, starting with a precision WIRE CUTTER and STRIPPER TOOL, a WIRE TERMINAL CRIMPER TOOL, some low-temp SILVER SOLDER, and a SOLDERING GUN. We cannot over-emphasize that our experience shows that cheaply-made electrical system tools are simply not worth their "cheap" price....especially the wire crimper. The performance of the wire-to-terminal crimp is determined by the accuracy of the die profile of the tool jaws, and that's exactly where the cheap tool manufacturers cut corners. So don't scrimp on the crimp!
Terminal Removal Tools:
Once a wire-end terminal is inserted into its connector shell, a small metal "spring-tab" or "tongue" locks the terminal into a recess in the connector shell, thus preventing the terminal and wire from coming back out of the shell. Think of it as the terminal equivalent of the barb on the end of a fish-hook----easy going in, not so easy to get back out......
Of course, if you want or need to extract a terminal from its connector shell....for repair or replacement, for instance.....then you'll find the use of these TERMINAL REMOVAL TOOLS to be greatest thing since sliced bread. Proper width flat spring-steel blades formed into a rising wedge shape allows you to quickly and easily depress the spring-tab "hook" back up and into the terminal, thus "un-locking" the locking tab from the connector shell, and a quicky tug on the wire now releases the terminal from the shell. Works on all small, medium, and wide flat-blade style terminals only! Not for use on the round pin terminals.

Wire Cutter, Stripper, and Terminal Crimper Tools:
NOTE: SOME OF THE FOLLOWING TOOLS ARE AVAILABLE FOR RENTAL!!: some tools are a one-time or infrequent use tool, so it may be more economical for you to rent them from us, rather than to purchase outright. Please see the “rental” section within the THE TOOLBOX section of our catalog at:

and review the availability and procedures in the TOOL RENTAL section.
These professional-grade tools put the chain-store variety to shame. If you want strong and secure connections when you're done, don't try to save a few dollars on inferior quality tools. There's absolutely nothing more frustrating than have a wire stripper that pulls the wire strands out (along with the insulation) because it's pivot point won't hold a setting, or because the round holes were not cut to the proper depths. And terminal crimper tools that have an incorrect or poor tolerance profile just won't ever crimp tightly enough, and then the wire will pull out of the terminal crimp----no matter how hard you squeeze!

Wire Solder and Soldering Guns:
While there is a unbelievably confusing array of solder choices, we've narrowed your choices down to one brand and type that we feel is the best: 3.5% SILVER BEARING, LEAD-FREE, ROSIN-CORE SOLDER. Let's go over those features one at a time:
a) Silver is the best material to use for small-wire electrical soldering, due to both the high-strength of silver and the exceptional electrical conductivity of silver (as opposed to lead-content solder).
b) Lead is a poisonous substance, and the soldering process has the potential to release lead fumes into the air....and into your eyes and lungs.....and that's just not a good thing, at all.
c) In the old days, solder was "pure" solder (be it lead-based, silver, etc.) and the cleaning flux was a separate material that had to be applied by hand. Modern "solder" is available with a central, internal flux core so that the cleaning and de-oxidizing properties of the flux----which has a lower melting point than the solder itself----is released first and performs the cleaning task on the wires and terminals immediately before the solder itself melts and flows. The miracles of modern technology at its best..........
NOTE: never use acid-core solder or an acid-based flux when performing electrical wire soldering! Acidic remnants of that type of flux will remain and eat away at your wires and terminals over time.
Of course, you'll want to apply such solder with a professional-quality SOLDER GUN, and since you probably, just like the rest of us, only have two hands, then you'll quickly come to appreciate our super-handy WIRE HOLDER tool that allows you to clamp the wires properly in place before soldering, leaving your hands free for the solder feed and the handling of the gun.

Wire and Terminal Protection:
You have a few choices here, with the only rule being: choose one! Protecting the crimped and/or soldered bare wire connection from moisture and oxygen is the only way to keep it from corroding, which causes all sorts of un-fun problems with your electrical system.
The traditional method of sealing wire connections (wire-to-wire or wire-to-terminal) is to slather the finished joint generously with DI-ELECTRIC GREASE, and then, if space considerations permit, to cover the connection with either HEAT-SHRINK TUBE, ELECTRICAL TAPE, or both. "Electrical tape" in now available in both the traditional VINYL ELECTRICAL TAPE WRAP, or in a modern LIQUID ELECTRICAL TAPE form for ease of use and additional protection.
Shrink tubing shrinks tightly when heat is applied; we recommend the use of our HCP9809 flameless heat gun, or a small butane torch or even a lighter.....just make sure you apply the heat evenly over the entire surface. NOTE: always remember to install your shrink tubing over the wire before you install your wire end terminals!
NOTE that the very small flat spade terminals, pin terminals, and bullet terminals may not accept shrink tubing or electrical tape due to the small confines of their connector shells. In such situation, your best solution is to simply load up on the di-electric grease.......the more the merrier. It truly is advisable to fill the entire connector shell with di-electric grease to completely seal the wire, end terminals, and connection joint from any exposure to the atmosphere. Some people might consider this as anally-retentive behavior; we think of it as prudent.

Electrical System Chemicals:
NOTE: it’s important to understand the difference between the two types of greases used with electrical connectors. Di-electric grease acts as an electrical insulator: it does not allow current to flow through it easily, and is basically used to “waterproof” a connector assembly. Although it is an insulator, the act of engaging two electrical connectors together (i.e. pushing a male connector into a female connector) will push away the grease on the metal-to-metal contact portion of the terminals, so those remain electrically conductive (good) while also insulating all the other surfaces against moisture and oxygen intrusion (very good). This insulating property of di-electric grease makes it great for use in connector shells, etc. as terminal corrosion is one of the greatest contributors to electrical system problems in vehicles (especially older ones)……this is why most modern vehicles use “sealed” connector shells (the most popular is the Delphi Automotive brand called “weather pack” or “weatherpak”) to keep oxygen and moisture away from the metal terminals. Although you can retrofit these style connectors to older harnesses, it takes a LOT of time, money, and effort to do so.
Now, contrast the insulating properties of di-electric grease to the electrically conductive properties of Conductive Grease, which, as its name implies, the grease itself (which contains many fine carbon particles) conducts electricity. Of course, being a “grease”, it too will also protect and insulate a terminal coated with it from moisture, corrosion, etc…..same as di-electric grease. But…it’s conductive, and if the terminal it coats is electrically “hot”, so is the grease (i.e. touching the grease alone will shock you!).
So a conductive grease is great when you need protection plus current flow……ideal for frame (or battery) grounds to the frame, etc. You could---if you are totally anally-retentive---coat (for instance) a battery post internally with conductive grease, and then cover all of that with di-electric grease.
So, think of these grease as two different electrical system “tools”, and use accordingly.
et2) Aftermarket electrical connector DI-ELECTRIC GREASE coats, insulates, and protects metal terminal connectors from exposure to air, thus preventing oxidation, the killer of electrical systems. Smear some of this goo on each and every one of your electrical connectors (after you've cleaned them with some sandpaper or terminal cleaner) and you'll be doing yourself a big favor!

et14) Aftermarket electrical connector CONDUCTIVE GREASE coats and protects metal terminal connectors from exposure to air, thus preventing oxidation, the killer of electrical systems. Unlike the di-electric grease listed above, which is an insulator (non-conductive), this carbon-based grease is electrically conductive and has multiple applications (such as battery terminal posts (internally), frame grounds, etc.).
HCP27923 Aftermarket packet of CONDUCTIVE GREASE, single use 2-gram packet, enough to do a few light bulbs, terminals, etc. Even tiny amounts (that you can barely see) will create minimal electrical resistance, so be careful with this stuff around capacitors and such. It gets everywhere, will stain your hands and clothing and take three days to wash off, and smells like some of the worst goop you've ever smelled. Use a toothpick for application. Don't eat it. Wear gloves. 2-gram pouch goes a long way.

cps2) Aftermarket high-quality CROCUS CLOTH. Unlike sandpaper or emery paper, crocus cloth is a super-fine, cloth-backed soft abrasive that doesn’t “shed” particles during use, and is just the thing for burnishing and polishing of copper electrical contact, like the alternator rotor and starter motor commutators. Sold in a 2” wide x 1-foot long strip, enough for polishing many a commutator or contact.
