    Thank you Al for being a great role model for me through the years. First time I saw you was the MCM how to turbo series. Through your years as a presenter I’ve looked up to you as a role model, first as how to be a man, then after I transitioned how to live as a person who shares what they’ve learned. Your quiet calm demeanour on camera has left an indelible mark on me and how on conduct myself amongst peers and friends.
    I appreciate how you’ve set an example for me and many others
    Woody I look forward to seeing where you take the Channel
    Thank you TSF

      Hey, why do you guys put your steering wheel on the wrong side of the car?
      Do you know why right hand drive is wrong?
      Because it appears to be done just to not be left hand drive.
      I thought maybe because North America is left drive, and they just couldn't be the same, but as I type this, wonder if it's tied to the hatred of anything left-handed that used to exist.
      But how we can know it is wrong is because of the location of the carburetor.
      Where is 99% of all carbs?
      Center of the vehicle.
      Where's the accelerator pedal in a right hand drive car?
      Where is the accelerator in a left hand drive?

    Love all the vids boys.
    Al just wanted to correct something you said as it is potentially dangerous.
    A DIN Battery is absolutely vented to atmosphere. I believe you were meaning AGM.
    DIN = A German abbreviation. Translated to German institute for standardization
    AGM = Absorbed Glass Mat
    DIN53/65/75/85 (etc) Batteries are vented to atmosphere. 1 Side has to be plugged and the other side has a vent hole - usually to connect to a vent tube. This is why they are sometimes found inside vehicle cabins. These do vent gases with normal use and vent a lot of gas during an overcharging event.
    An AGM battery is fully sealed and has a fibreglass matting surrounding the cells. They should not ever explode or vent toxic gases. This is the preferred option for anything inside a cabin.
    I noticed the battery purchased in the video is a DIN style battery and not an AGM type as it has vent holes.
    Please connect a vent tube to the open port or exchange it for an AGM battery.
    Hope I have been of help. Love what you guys do and gonna miss Al

    I used to be sceptical about using the chassis for ground until I did my own battery relocation. I did a proper job of all the routing, double insulated with conduit like you guys did - it looked mint.
    When it was all in and finished, I hit the key and got nothin' but clicks - low voltage cut out on the starter. I was gutted!
    Rather than redo the whole thing, I thought I'd try adding a ground to the chassis in the boot, and it worked like a treat. The starter kicked strong, first time every time.
    Never again will I doubt the ability of a million little spot welds when it comes to moving electrons.

    • @mitchpender8113
      @mitchpender8113 Рік тому

      Electrician here running both a positive and negative conductor in a vehicle will almost double the resistance of the cabling compared to using a body ground , high current 12vdc loads need very low resistance circuits,high current increases resistance of the cabling which then drops the voltage at the starter motor.. plus it’s quicker and a lot cheaper to just run 1 conductor

    Industrial electrician here, I would always hyd crimp 32mmsq lugs at least twice if the lug is long enough, flex cable especially can and will work loose as the cable is flexed during install, it’s always better to install larger cables first then terminate in position this ensures the individual copper strands are the correct length for the cable and flexing the cable during install can either compromise the crimp or bunch the strands which will decrease the current carrying capacity of the cable .. my 2 cents

    On the topic of relocating batteries... if anyone's doing one and is a tightass, head to your local wreckers (in australia only obviously) and find a ve commodore. They have boot mounted batteries and you can get the full cable, with lugs, for a fraction of the price. Is it legit? Probably not. But it is cheap. So do with that as you will.

    Al that furry tape is great.....until you need to change anything and then it gets fairly goey and sticky?
    I've been using braided Teflon weave sheeths that they use on PC power supplies 👍
    Works fantastic and you can use a collar of what ever size and goop it up with that black Sikaflex. Works perfect. You can yank on the loom and pull it through spaces and it won't Jag on anything (it will make a funky sound at most - that Teflon shit works good👍)
    It looks fantastic and you can pear through the weeve if you want to look at your wiring for what ever reason?
    It's pretty much the same as what they use on your KTM headlight wiring harness Al. I know this cause I just purchased a KTM SX rally style headlight for my bike 😉
    I decided to follow the same theme with much of the other wiring as I need to paint the frame and do many of the things you are doing here on your Zed haha relocating the battery for an intake plenum 😉(yes a plenum) on a enduro/adventure bike? I need 4L of intake plenum on a single cylinder for a turbo to function?(apparently?)
    So I'm thinking that 2L may be feasible on a 2 cylinder? That will be in the future though but planning for relocating and deleting as much stuff as possible to save weight and improve visibility with a full dirt bike front end nice and open.
    Enjoy your dirt bike Al they are loads of fun
