  • Honda did a great job of being consistent on wiring harness colors, across all sizes of their bikes. This tutorial was made using a Honda CT90 setup, but should be very similar for any 1970’s Honda bike.

      it was simple and easy to understand .if you have to mention the cable itself they were of much better quality thick and solid .in new cars and motorbikes etc it is poor quality cables are so thin and fragile​@@MiniBikeMike

    Just what I need.. a ct90 signal light tutorial! I went from no signals to working signals after cleaning the contacts on my '78 but when the brake is depressed, the signals stop flashing. Release the brake and it's flashing again. The trouble with a 45 yr old bike is it's a 45 yrs old bike. Thanks for sharing Mike!

    Thanks Mike. I am really not savvy when it comes to wiring issues. Your video was interesting. I don't expect you to solve my issue. 1983 Honda CT110. Fronts signals work, back signals have power to the back, but the bulbs won't turn on when the switch is on. the tail light bulb begins to flash and at times when i put pressure on the left bulb it will begin to flash as does the tail light. I have thought about replacing the rear turn signals or just getting a complete new wiring harness. For now, I will just keep plugging away. Thanks for shedding some light on my issue.

    So I've got a 1969 ct90. Then I've got a 1973 ct90 parts bike. The 69 has the turn signal switch. But I wanted to adopt the 73 blinkers front and back to the 69. I've heard that it was primarily wired. But it was left up to the United States state regulations to either put on the blinkers or not. Is this wire harness applicable to my 69?

      Leave the rear sprocket stock and install a 17t on the front. I think the chain has enough length that it won’t need modified. Here is front sprocket:

    Hi there, I had a quick question about headlight options. I’ve been trying to use an LED headlight on the AC side of the rectifier on the headlight circuit and it keeps burning up LEDs and I did notice that around the light burns out the bike stumbles and dies but starts back up again and I am able to ride on. I did notice in testing the AC voltage fluctuates anywhere from 3V to 16v on that wire. All at idle. Any thoughts would be appreciated from anyone.
