The New Hand Controls Install Part II The Wiring

The internal wiring is done.

Today I ran the internal wiring. I used 16g stranded copper wire for the job. Originally I had 18g ready to go, but upon closer inspection it seemed a little skimpy and I think 16g is more appropriate for 15 amp circuits. Its what the MoCo used. Its what Ill use. It was a little tricky to get the wiring done, mostly because the terminal posts on the new switches are so damn small - a third hand tool is critical for your sanity. If you dont have one, it is an indispensable aid and I recommend you go buy one. Also, having two holes for the wiring to go through required me to think a little bit more during the fishing process, but it was not any more painful than usual once I got going.

Some people use fishing line and a bolt, others blow a string through with compressed air, others still will suck a string through with a vacuum, etc. I think the best way is to fish a light chain through (link to the technique in a previous post). The weight makes it an easy, fast and predictable way to get through the bends and it pops right out your exit hole pretty much without any effort. Then you tape the wires to the end of the chain, make a huge mess with baby powder and push/pull the wires through. Simple.

Next up, since different colored wires were used for the new switches and I wasnt sure what did what on the new switches, I had to use the original wiring diagram from the service manual and some educated guesses in order to come up with the new wiring diagram. I double and triple checked all the connections to make absolutely, positively sure that the final wiring would be correct. It was, and everything worked.

The new wiring scheme.

After that was finished, then basically all that was left of the wiring was to secure the final connections. Weather-proof, crimped, heated connectors were chosen to ensure long-term reliability. And as I mentioned earlier, a third hand tool is critical for maintaining a reasonable level of frustration.

Pretty straightforward, but just make sure all your wiring is correct!

Harnesses all back together again.

The new HI-OFF-LOW beam switch. Dont forget that shrink wrap tubing.

Now with the handlebar setup almost done, all thats left is to get them on there, reconnect the harnesses, mount the hi/lo beam switch on the headlamp bucket, wire the banjo bolt pressure switch to the front brake, bleed the front brake, and then finally grind down that lip on the stock HD levers. Ill probably end up hitting the rest of the lever with a scotchbrite wheel to make it look nice and even.

All new Kawasaki Ninja 250 VS Honda CBR 250R


Attendance All new Kawasaki Ninja 250 in my opinion obviously has to compete with Honda 250cc bike, the CBR 250R. Now the all-new Kawasaki Ninja 250 has particularly what is owned by Honda CBR 250R, such as the injection system on the engine and ABS braking system. Overall All new kawasaki ninja 250 has an aggressive design, this course can increase competition within the CBR 250R.

Also all-new Ninja 250 has a composition of 2-cylinder engine with 8-valve DOHC. In Indonesia, the machine with such a configuration, it is still perceived prestige than the 1-cylinder engine used in the CBR 250R. Surely the engine 2 - cylinder can result in higher speed performance than the single cylinder. It turns out that power is owned by the all-new Ninja 250 is greater than the CBR 250R, the all-new Ninja 250 to 32 hp at 11.000rpm, of 6.3 hp is larger than the CBR 250R. But the torque generated kawasaki all new ninja 250, is greater than the CBR 250R, which is only 21 Nm at 10.000rpm, or lower 1.9 Nm. And the weight of the bike was lighter CBR 250R, rather than all-new Ninja 250.

But the formula is not absolute. We also need to know the ratio of weight versus power and torque have both. However CBR 250R is lighter weight than all-new Ninja 250. In the all-new Ninja 250 has a weight of 174 kg, while the CBR 250R only with a weight of 165 kg, so the ratio of power versus weight of all new ninja 250, better than the CBR 250R. All-new Ninja 250 produces 0.18 hp / kg, while the CBR 250R only 0.15 hp / kg.

How where price competition from both the 250cc bike? It turns out that the posted price for the all-new Ninja 250 is RP.56,900.000 (ABS) and Rp.49,900.000 (non-ABS), so the price of all new Ninja 250 is more expensive than the CBR 250R, with a ratio of Rp.10.000.000. For me Rp.10.000.000 is no small amount.
