Wiring the Suzuki Savage Chopper

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In the tenth part of the Savage Chopper series I’m finally completing the wiring of the bike.
In this video series I'm trying to take a stock Suzuki LS650 Savage from 1995 and transforming it from a regular old motorcycle into a chopper.

2.8 mm Connectors Kit
amzn.to/449gBXC
These connectors are used in most places on a stock Suzuki LS650.
3.9 mm Bullet Connectors Kit
amzn.to/3Nibiz5
These connectors are used for all the lights on the bike. Good to have if you, for example, want to put led indicators on your bike.
6.3 mm 3 Pin Connectors
amzn.to/420gXhh
These are actually not the correct connectors for the Savage. But the set does include the 6,3 mm pins that fit into the stock connectors.
Cheap Ring Connectors Kit
amzn.to/3AyFNcd
Not the best quality, but works well enough for most applications.
Flat Connectors Kit with Crimping Tool
amzn.to/444PTPM
Got this just for the tool and that works great. But the assortment of connectors has actually proven useful as well as they fit into some of the stock connectors.
Turn Signal Relays
amzn.to/41HQo0B
Four adjustable turn signal relays for the price of one. Works great and are dirt cheap. They are not a drop-in replacement for the stock one (the stock one has a built-in connector), but they are super easy to wire up.
A Better Waterproof Connectors Kit
amzn.to/3HmF8yr
A bonus tips. I actually never used these on the bike. But I have this kit and these are way better than the other connectors. If I didn’t have to conform to the stock connectors, I would have used these instead.
Cable Strippers
amzn.to/41YKlV6
These are not the same brand I use, but they look exactly the same. Just pick up one of these, you won’t regret it. They make stripping cables fun again!

    Hi, my reply has to be in English since my Italian is really bad. 🙂 I'm sorry, but I wouldn't be able to make a wiring harness and send it to you. They are hard enough to make with the bike in front of you. The tip I can give you is to get a copy of the service manual, you can find it online for free. In there they have wiring diagrams for all the different years. If you know anyone who knows a little about electronics they should be able to use that to help you, or have a go at it yourself! The wiring of these bikes are fairly simple so I think you would be able to pull it off! Good luck and I hope you get your Savage sorted! ✌️

    Ahhhh the dark art of motorcycle electricory.... not bad , you had to use the original to find out what went where and then where it moved to ..lol ... nice idea on the single feed and ground wires . In my opinion most bikes are really over complicated where wiring is concerned. I did a rewire on a 750 virago a few years back ..that was very entertaining as it had a UK and US spec wiring harnesses half arsed mated together ..no wonder it never ran both used different colour wires .. I stripped and rewired it and removed all the unnecessary crap that was put in by the makers .. well done the build is moving forwards ..

    It sure is a dark art, and a giver of great satisfaction when you finally get everything to run! That Virago sounds like a nightmare, probably a great choice to rip everything out and start over, just to keep your sanity. Thank you for your comment and nice words, that's what's moving this build forward! ✌️🤘

    I haven't felt comfortable releasing a full wiring diagram, since I haven't really ridden the bike enough to conform it actually works as intended. I really don't want to be responsible for setting someone else's bike on fire. 😅 There are lots of wiring diagrams floating around, and the service manual has the full factory one.

    Hey Captain! Are you trying to only remove the kill switch? How far did you get? I would say that you should just pull the two wires going into the switch and connect them, bypassing the switch. Do you have access to the wiring diagram in the Clymer manual? The wiring is a bit different depending on the year of your bike.
