WIRING
In order to ensure that there are no problems with voltage drops causing the system to shut down, a
heavy duty, solid state ignition switch is recommended. Also, the black wire should be connected directly to the
negative battery terminal to avoid erratic operation due to a poor ground connection.
The wire color code for the 3-wire main display system harness is as follows:
RED
+12 volt with key on
BLACK
ground (connect directly to battery)
GREEN
tachometer signal
The wire color code for the 5-wire indicator harness is as follows:
RED
High Beam indicator
BLACK
Left Turn indicator
GREEN
Right Turn indicator
WHITE
Neutral indicator
BROWN
Low Oil Pressure indicator
Speedometer connection varies depending on the year and model of the cycle. Using different speed
adapter kits the speedometer can read a speedometer cable, a stock electric transmission speed sensor, or an
aftermarket gear-tooth sensor. Each adapter kit connects to the speedometer using the three pin connector on
the back of the system, underneath the back plate.
SEN-5011:
The cable adapter accepts a 5/8” thread fitting and can be mounted in a concealed location.
Cycles that have a metric-threaded speedometer cable will need to have the cable modified or replaced.
SEN-5012:
The adapter harness for using a stock transmission speed sensor converts the triangular
connector to the in-line connector on the speed/tach system.
SEN-5019:
The gear-tooth sensor kit consists of a two-terminal sensor and a harness to connect it to the
speed/tach system. The sensor needs to be mounted within 1/8” of the teeth on a steel final drive gear.
