Hi, The radio has several wires coming out the back of it. When you install the radio you will need to splice into the cable harness of the bike, car or what ever your going to install the device on. The radio came with a wiring schematic which showed how the radio was to be connected. I sent the radio back so I don't have the diagram for reference. One of the wires is the antenna.

The wires were color coded, plus the wires that went to spade connections came with the terminals on them. I made a quick drawing (on the unit) as to where everything was before I pulled the old motor out. It took me longer to get the nasty plastic cover off the unit than it took me to replace this motor. Start to finish in about an hour. Motor was in a Coleman rooftop AC unit on a old motorhome. If I remember correctly, there was a wiring diagram on the new motor.

I used bell wire that was installed with original equipment. If you must use new wire, it can be spliced and still work fine.

I didn't need to redo the wires. I just took out 2 screws and slipped the frame over the thermostat. Good luck. I had the same concerns and was pleasantly surprised. The unit holds the frame in place.

I give them a 10 but look at the wires the set I got was used the wires had been close to exhausts heat and had melting spots on them. What bike are you putting these on.. I put mine on a 93 wing you have to remove the cowl I put mine on the cowl to shine inward into the fan area.

I tucked the wires back behind air cleaner and a mechanic friend of mine told me to do the same with the hoses. The larger one goes to a canister mounted on the bottom of the bike (smog thing I believe) and the smaller one goes to the carb on my bike. He said I may need to adjust the jets but I haven't yet, seems to run great. However, it does tend to backfire now when it's really cold. I allow for more time warming it up. I'm no mechanic and can't swear this is the best methodology but, it's worked great for me the past 3-4 months. Anybody else have a better suggestion, please let us all know.

Other than telling you to make sure that the bike is correctly assembled and be sure that the pieces including the said plug is on tight enough, the only other advice I could probably give if the previous has been done or doesn't work is to have it exchanged or returned as it might be faulty.

So long as your new bars are not radically thick or thin there shouldnt be problem. Might be a good idea to get new cables and cable sheaths too, and make sure you know what your doing... some beginner bike modders get this part muddled and then inevitably end up at their bike shop trying to get help.

I assumed cutting the wires would be required. Looking at the typical application before deciding to replace the socket would indicate cutting the wires could be required. Looking at the wire nuts supplied would also be a clue.

I belive they sell extension for the 02 sensor. I don't recommend splicing the wire. It might be possible at your own risk.

I will have to check when I get home. I actually cut the end off for the project. I installed a plug to match the factory, fused aux wiring on a motorcycle. I still have the plug end. I believe you unplug the connector and maybe unscrew the tip and the body will seperate in half lengthwise. Again, I will have to check.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Fortunately the bike i purchased for my son works well even though he does not use it. The only thing i can think of is to have a mechanic or tech guy look at it. They may be able to tell you which part is defective and then you may be able to order a new part and have them install. Sorry

Make sure the red is positive and the black is on black. Also make sure to strip the wire to get to the copper for a good connection, when they come stock it looks like the tips have solder on them for transport protection. P.S. Good trick with the thin wire because it is a little difficult to get down to the copper to get a good connection. Without taking the copper with it lol. Take a lighter and put the flame on the tip of the wire, hold there for two to three seconds blow out then just pull the plastic off. It works great!!! But be carefullI have these on my 2001 kawasaki zx6r, they look great. Hope this helps Make sure the red is positive and the black is on black.

the original most likely had some type of marker light and signal light combination, with only two wire you are going to have to choose whether you want them to serve as signal lights or marker lights, i went for marker lights on my xv750 to improve the general visibility of the bike to other vehicles

If you got that problem, it is better to change the whole cable. The best product is the Universal Plug -n- Play Wiring Harness - SNPNP.Safe RidesBikerHiway
