Thoughts about motorcycles, tools that work (or don't), travel, and occasionally politics. Places I've gone, routes that were special, and food I've found along the way. And, thankfully, not too much of any of it.

Motorcycle Electrics - Everything you ever wanted to know about it
Following the success of the Carburetor Manual posting a couple of weeks ago, I've scanned in the Honda Electrical Systems manual. You will find it here:
http://www.cb77.org/HondaManuals/Electrical/ElectricalManual.pdf
It contains everything about motorcycle charging systems, ignition systems, and trouble shooting. Using this you should be able to understand and diagnose any problem with any system.
Warning: This is a HUGE file and may take some time to download if you have a slow system. If everyone hits it immediately it may drag my server down to a snail's pace so be patient. Starting the download before going to bed may be a plan.
Next I'll go look for the Vincent Owners Group discussion of Lucas Electrics, the Prince of Darkness.

My father always told me electricity was like water. For a plumber, it probably made sense to talk about it that way. Now I can read it as translated from Japanese?
