Dual Sporting A Txc449

Once I quite moving, I shut the bike off. Then I pried the front wheel out of the muck. Water definetly got in the exhaust. Not sure how much got in the intake. I did see it was close to the inlet. I was able to get it started in the "puddle" and ride it out. Amazing traction.

As far as how deep, I would say about that deep.

You rode in that water hole because you didn't want to wash the bike when you got home......lol.....be honest you did i know you did and i suspect riders like you carry soap, hair net and shower gell for these lucky water hole finds...lol......seriously, good to hear the bikes okay that water looks like grinding paste if it got in the engine, very lucky.

Hey, I shower once a month, weather I need it or not.

I have installed my lighting kit and mostly it is great. The X2 head lamp came with a connector. The Tusk wire harness has three wires. I waited for this last . Spliced the wires and put the corresponding female leads on the lamp and plugged it in. The lamp does not work. The horn and Signals work, but no power on the light switch. I thought that the Control Switch might split the power to the three, but I don't think this is the case. The three wires on the control harness just run up to the switch. Where does the power come from? Do I need to splice it in somewhere? I just presumed this would be plug and play.

I am using the Husky switch, are you as well. If so, there are three power input wires, one for turn, one for horn, and one for headlights. I would assume that most aftermarket switches would be the same, if you have an ohm meter you should be able to figure out which is which.

I have a generic switch that has no power. On my TXC there is a wire harness. a big black connector and a small two wire plug like would be used for the odometer. Can i draw power somewhere from here? Are there wiring diagrams available?

 

[NewHuskovite]

Right, You need to run a power wire from either the large black 9 pin conector, or from the battery. You would run this to the switch and then the switch distributes the power to the lights. I also ran a fuse and a relay for safetys sake. I can't remember which wire I used for the relay, but if you look at the 9 pin connector, it is a larger diameter wire. There are diagrams, there is a thread on here where some one has all of the service manuals. It shouldn't be hard to find.

Thanks. I'll look for a large power lead.

I have looked around and through the manuals, but couldn't find a complete wire diagram. None that show the large 9 pin connector at all.
Do you know what the small white two pin connector is for?

The small two pin is for the speedo.
I hope this ain't to hard to read. It's the best I could do, The power is one of the empty pins on the connector.

 

[jwhuls]

I thought it was for the Speedo, but I don't understand where it gets it's info. Or where is it sending info.

I am just curious.

Thanks for the schematic. it is what I needed.
