Motogadget loom project

[ducatigirl100]

My first intuition would be to look at the cicuit for the sidestand .... 

There's a ligth in the original gauges...  the + that goe's the the ligth must be grounded...... 

If you remove the stock gauges the + tha goes to the sidestand warning light is no more gounded and the
bike  will not start ....

A solution you be to  groud the +  wire ...  to close the cicuit

But I dont have the  bike in front of me so it's at your hown risk

OK, thanks for the suggestions. So I guess you had no trouble switching your own gauges? My first step will be to confirm that the immo has been disabled, I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks!

I'm concerned about the; "there was some drama, but in the end they said they successfully disabled the immobilizer, I took it back and they said blah blah bs blah"

Some say either; "the customer is always right" or the customer is always an @sshole". Both can be true...but the repair shop/dealer is almost always an incompetent hack, a thief, or both.

heh -- the drama was the job became more of an issue than he expected, I won't bore you with the details but there was no negative interaction or anything. I guess I'll see how he responds to my critique of his work.

I tackled this same project back in the day! I opted for solder connections to the existing harness. I like your method. It allows for service, if needed. great job!
I actually bought the first Motogadget "classic" Sold in the US. It was sold to me directly from the factory. I got a prototype for testing. It only calculated distance in KM even though it has a selection for Miles. the aux/ warning light is always on no mater how it gets wired (NO/ NC). They offered to fix it, but I thought that it would be neat to keep it with the original software on it.

Near the neck is the plate where the ignition is mounted. It's sides have a large hole in it. I wonder if your M unit fob sensor would fit in one of them.

I've tried it and the apex clip-ons are to close ..... and after months of feild testing it ....just below the motogadget tiny is the best place ...  easy to reach ... and a sensation in bike nigth's.... lol


Also, I'm working to make a full wiring diagram  in PDF file ... that everybody can refer to....  cuming in a week or two

+ I'm start overhauling the bike in a few weeks ....  the wiring will fo inside the frame ...

So a lot more photo's to come

unmake the beast with two backsingbelievable...

you feel that way about Nick?

I hear you sell tat equipment...

you are therefore a dealer.

Are you a thief?

Almost always

Here you go  

I've seperated the wiring diagram in 2 parts

this is the  the "control" part of the wiring loom.....
Controls
ligths
M-lock
M-button
motorscope tiny
M-Unit
    


Here's a link to a PDF version

         https://db.tt/wBD9ZOCA


I'll explain it in more detail's tomorow  




   the "ignition "  will come later on in about 2 weeks

Details

The diagram was done on my tablet  so the line arent exacly strait

Backup capacitor for the M-Lock ... the monster is a really hard bike to start so the battery as a a big voltage drop when you press start ..... I've been using the M-lock for a couple of months now and on occasion .. the electronic would shut down while trying to start.  The backup capacitor will prevent that. You can get the capitor on motogadget website






No neutral gear indicaror on the motorcope tiny...I personely have no use for that
No sidestand kill swicht......... I just  look at it before taking off  
No oil warning ligth ....  I inted to put a gauge direcly on the oil sensor and gettind rid of the ugly wire on the clutch side....

great work dg100, good info...   

I can feel this project getting closer.... 

[thump]

Hey, thanks for posting that wiring diagram.

I got my immobilizer sorted (the shop just had to redo it) so now my stock gauges are off, the bike runs, and I just put an order in for the motoscope tiny. I hope to get it delivered and wired up before winter, I think the diagram will be a big help.

Did you consider using one of the spare warning lights as a low fuel indicator? Not that the stock one works properly anyway.

 

[monsta]

I have a motogadget dash.
I cant get my low fuel light working.
They say to use a resistor, which I have tried. But no joy

I also tried a variable resistor (potentiometer) to try and dial in the correct resistance, still no joy.

You being a guru and all dg100... maybe you have some ideas?

Great news,it got sorted out ...

Hey ! That's a good idea ..    considering I got stranded whit "no gas left in the tank " one time this year and I add a few close calls ....  

@Montra ... now that the idea is on the table ... I think I can sort it out
