You ever going to release the buttons and the reactor?

When I first heard about the m.unit I didnt realize just how cool it actually is and I thought it was really expensive, but all these functions really are worth the pricetag. Great video and very informative, I think my 98 Monster might get the motogadget treatment sometime in the future :D

Great review 🤟🏻 The build quality on these products are unreal as expected from the Germans. One note to mention is a full setup of motogadget will set you back around £1500 (all depends on accessories) It’s a lot of money for something you can’t see someone once told me, but in my opinion well worth it. The hardest thing to do with a custom build is make is look clean and simple. Often the cleaner the build is the more it costs and most folk don’t realise this. Motogadet allows you to have this effortlessly. Looking forward to seeing more 👍

I agree with your comments, Moto Gadget gear is excellent quality but it is expensive. I have one of the early m units on my 74 CB550 with ‘M Blaze’ indicators that cost a packet all together. And your right, ones the wiring is done and the M unit is out of sight, it is quickly forgotten, I mean, how many times are you gonna change the way your lights flash after your done, you just want to ride the thing!

1st time viewer. commenting very early in the video but that intro is fire. + i have one of these and it has revolutionized my bike. There's a lot of cool features you can control from your phone, and when i make the lights dance from across the parking lot, seemingly by magic, people are naturally impressed. plus all the security features are pretty slick (when random ppl comment on it as i'm walking up to it, I'll be like ya, touch the handle bars and see what happens lol, they all get scared). pricey but if you're rebuilding worth every single penny, if not for the features, for the simplicity of wiring, if you know how to ground a wire, and read a manual you good to go. programmed most of it on cheap amazon bar buttons with no issues.

fully convinced that I need to install this on my cb750f...thanks for sharing!

Quick tip for making this type of connection look very clean: Put solder on the end so the individual wires stay together and then use heat shrink to only expose as much as you need. Makes it look very neat and clean compared to just having a stripped wired.

3 year old train but sharing is caring: You shouldn’t solder wires that go into clamped (spring or screw clamped) terminals. This is well known in industry. The solder will slowly cold flow and/or deform under pressure and leave you with a connection that slowly (and intermittently) goes faulty. Crimped ferrules are better and nothing is actually best from a connector stand point. All this is most important for connection transmitting power (like your headlight)

Great explanation, Thanks, I hope to rewire my classic Bonneville and I improve its reliability ...if that's possible.

Personally the m-button didn't do much to simplify my front end wiring because I still had ground wires for the switches and bar end indicator wires running from the bars. And I'm not a fan of having 3 of the mbutton wires running from one clip on bar to the other.

Hello Dan, great video as usual. I'm wiring my Munit at the moment. I'm using the supplied feral crimps with the wiring kit. I'm finding that the 2.5mm output cables like the blue starter circuit don't hold in, just a simple pull on the wire they fall out. Am I doing something wrong? Are you using the ferals? Other question on the Mbutton I've got clip on bars, can you use 2x Mbutton? Do you think it will work with two Mbutton's plugged in? I'm thinking it will.

Love my Munit blue really works well Bluetooth connection has been the only issue

Thanks for your Great Content!

I am changing the loom of one of my Yamaha FZR 1000 Exup, this one from 1989. It was rebuild in 1991 to a naked, a monster bike years before Ducati came with one. Now I am doing it again to get away of the massive loom going to the dash, lights and so on. To make it neither I am splitting the loom up in two seven wires looms and one earth one. So three smaller looms go to the front above the radiator. But this unit seems to be a better way, so for the next FZR maybe I will give that one a go.

You got me convinced, I'll put that in my bike, hopefully very soon :)

Would this give me the capability to run like a morimoto super7 headlight? Or would I need to upgrade the charging system also? And how well is it roadworthy? I ride a hour to work one way and put a lot of miles on riding season. I’ll put 1200 miles a week just going to work.

This product looks great. I just don’t have an installer to do the job… My weekend are for enjoying the Ducati.

Just wondering.... I have a Blade that has the lights on with ign. Just a high low beam switch. can this thing run with that sort of set up ? I'm guessing it can

So does it just need 12 volt and ground to function ? Doesn't need a certain amount of amps I'm wondering if I can rig this up on an onyx electric bike

But when the fuses aref integrated, when something burns out u can thow the complete Unit in the trashcan?

Thinking about one for my GPZ900R mainly as the oem fusebox uses an unobtanium connector (seriously no one stocks it or has any idea who even made it for Kawasaki) Will say you need to tidy up those connections, copper shouldn't be showing, its asking for a short and it just looks scruffy and takes 2 secs to sort out.

The mirrors were probably lapped and polished. I do that on steel all the time at work.

The M Units (ie including the m-button) allow you to replace the 'top half' of your bike's wiring with a radically-simplfied version. All the handlebar wiring (even eg the brake-light switches); all the idiot lights wiring; all the blinker, tail/brake wiring, headlight wiring; the neutral switch, oil pressure warning and the kick-stand down switch wiring. They allow you the remove the blinker units, starter solenoid, all the fuses (and radically simplify all the wiring to those things in the process). They add a theft-alarm and immobilizer function. But they DON'T replace the 'bottom-half' of your bike's wiring - ie all the charging system, diode boards, the coils, points (or electronic ignition), and pretty much anything else entering or exiting the engine itself. Bottom line is that properly replacing the entire top half of a bike's wiring system is (with some exceptions) beyond the capability of most non-experts and definitely beyond those of they average backyard tinkerer. In contrast, the M-Units can be successfully installed by almost anyone with a few electrician's tools, a workshop manual with a wiring diagram of the target bike, a bit of time on their hands, and some careful thought , reading and planning. It's even easier if you get all the Motogadget peripherals (blinkers, switches and speedometer/instrument/idiot light unit), but they are expensive...

Have a problem, when I turn on the main beam with the m-bottom, the taillight goes out. If I turn off the main beam, the tail light will light up. If I blink with the main beam, I light the taillight all the time

So if i get the mo unit will it replace my cdi box?

I'm curious, how are your handlebar controls assigned? You have three buttons on your left - signals and horn I assume, and two buttons on the right - kill switch and starter? Is your set up pretty common? What configuration would anyone ever need three on both side for?
