I’ve started working my way through the abortion of a fire damaged harness that was apparently repaired. I’m still amazed the bike ran, just shows how hardy these bricks are.
So... I feel a little out of my depth with regards to the wiring. I’m no electrician, I can solder, I have solder, a soldering iron, heat shrink, flux, dielectric grease, multi meter etc etc. I read P&IDs in my job which naturally translates over into reading the wiring diagram with ease but I do feel a little overwhelmed.
Eventually managed to procure a used sender to replace the melted one.
I started to mock up up the run, I had planned, in my head, to mount the BEP 3.0 in the electric box, it seemed the most logical place, I realise this will be a tight squeeze but doable. It’s clear I need to strip the harness right back in order to relocate the two main plugs, that originally terminated in the lunchbox dash, down to the electrical box to be mated up to the BEP as intended. Doing this will obviously leave me with a long run of spare cable, I had no intentions of doubling this back on itself or trying to stuff it in the electrical box and think the cleanest way would be to shorten. How would I do this, can I pop each individual cable from the plug somehow, shorten then re-terminate or would I have to cut, solder, seal? Or should I double back tidy under the frame?
So... the BEP 3.0... Apologies in advance if I’m being a total idiot. I have a wiring diagram for the Acewell and the K wiring diagram. The BEP is ‘simple’, right, you plug the main plugs from the original dash in to their respective ports, you then terminate from each labelled output to their respective component and that’s it? Is that it? What I’m not clear on are the original cables that don’t form part of those two plugs, example: Headlight or flashers. What happens to those, they still terminate to their respective relays. Do they need to run from the relays into the outputs of the BEP then jump on to the specific component? The BEP didn’t come with a manual either which isn’t helping my confusion. I’ve searched a lot of threads that have detail regarding certain aspects of the BEP but it doesn’t appear anyone’s posted a detailed installation thread.
Thanks in advance
