Also, you can wrap the wiring loom or secure the ends of the old tape on the loom with F4 tape. It is a non-adhesive self-fusing silicone tape. This stuff sticks only to itself when stretched and it stays put, but it has no adhesives to turn gooey when exposed to heat and time. It insulates and is not affected by heat, and since you stretch it to activate it, one roll goes a long way. Because it sticks only to itself it works on anything and can be removed without making a mess. I have used it for a variety of applications and it works GREAT! It is available on Amazon and eBay. Once you use it you will never go back to using electrical tape again. Ed

This is what I use most, but as I said, it's all general purpose stuff to handle most situations without requiring special connectors. Special connectors do make for a prettier job, but I try to hide the wires completely.

That Harbor-Freight crimper is the one I have. the dies are replaceable/interchangeable.
I also have an inexpensive wire-strippe/crimper for stripping the wires. it's not very good for crimping.

... .... cheap generic crimper. doesn't crimp very good.

The HF crimper has a setting for the crimp force. I increase it one notch from normal.

Ugh, those cheap multi-strip-crimp tools kill me. Although, the bolt shearing feature does work ok the first few times when the tool is new.

hee. that's the tool I'm thinking about when guys do mash crimps. the thing just kinda mashes the terminal without making a good crimp.

Hey, I'm having trouble with my '78 KZ650D. Essentially the old stator got shot, so I decided to pick up a three-phase perm. mag stator to upgrade. When I went under the tank I found a rat's nest that looks like trouble. So I want to scrap it and go as simple as possible because this is my first wiring job.

Ok, I will look for a 78 Kz650D1 (SR) wiring diagram when I get a chance. Tax time is coming up so that may take most of my free time for a few days.

If you have a link to a readable wiring diagram, that would help.

Thanks Scirocco!
For anyone looking for Scirocco's posted diagram, be aware that Kzrider shrinks the image from it's original size. Even if you open it in another tab, it will be bigger, but still not full size. Use the link he provided to get the full size version.

I took the liberty of cleaning up the image, and uploaded temporarily to amazon.
Click on the link to download it at full size.

Full size is 3150 x 2350
