8.4 Cable Routing Recommendations
Cables used in vehicles must be suitable for this application. We recommend our cable kit (order #
4002031). Cable insulation must have a adequate thickness and insulation material must have a
resistance against fuel, oil, cold and heat. Please use only cables which are certified for use in
vehicles. Not fused wires which lead from battery positive terminal to starter motor or to m-Unit
must have the shortest length possible. It is very important to protect the insulation of these cables
against damage by wearing. At contact points between cable and vehicle parts additional insulation
protection is necessary. Before routing cables look for suitable cable paths. The cables should be
as far away as possible from hot parts of the engine. Look for a suitable place for the respective
cables to meet with their plugs and for the plugs to be connected with one another. This is usually
in the headlight housing, somewhere below the gas tank or in the cockpit. Make sure you take note
of the required lengths of cables before cutting them for best fit. It is important here to consider the
full lock of the handlebars as well as the front and rear wheel travel. All cables should be routed
free of kinks and should not be subject to any tension. In addition, the cables have to be properly
isolated, especially in places where mechanical wear can take place. We recommend solder joints.
For fastening the cables we recommend cable ties of
synthetic material.
The cables are connected to m.unit using spring terminal blocks. Push down the orange coloured
insert next to the cable entry to insert the exposed cable end into the terminal block. Use a
screwdriver tip to push down the insert.
8.5 Wire Cross Sections
Wire diameters used in a circuit are dependant on the current flow that particular circuit. Following
plan shows the minimum wire cross sections used in the single circuits of m-Unit. The installed wire
cross sections must not go below the shown values.
