gday all hooking up my trailtech speedo & need to know which wires to connect. computer has red & black to be hooked up to stator but unsure of which colour wires out of stator is which(pos & neg/earth). wanna go riding tomorrow & need to sort this today. any1 know or have wiring diagram or done this? it is just the wiring coming out of the stator cover im chasing back up under the tank correct? help please

I may be wrong but the red and black are for a bike fitted with a battery !!! there should be no need to wire them to anything unless you want the engine temp to function (need the sender)
Again I may be wrong but dont want you to fry it, going direct to the stator to my mind will definatly be a very bad idea, if it would be possible to wire it in to the system it would be wired after the regulater

Find the wire to your regulator and tap into that, worked on my old 2001 WR250

instructions say "connect power leads to ignition power leads from stator. Use caution as this is a high voltage option"(for mx bike-no battery-WR300). says "will operate in the range of 9-55VDC/9-400VAC, but will not draw enough power to drain a vehicle battery". you need some sort of power supply or the battery would be dead in a couple of rides would it not? battery for memory retention, clock & when bike turned off & you wanna check kms/hours etc. wired it up to yellow wire plug(so didnt have to cut/splice/solder anything) out of stator under tank that's before the regulator & it seemed to work fine but now im a bit worried. earthed to tank supports. i agree after regulator sounds safer. still workin so fingers crossed i havnt buggered it! rode today, so will clean bike & take another look

I hooked mine in just where the wire goes in-should be about 14 volts there, you could check with a multimeter

The yellow wire from the stator should be the one that goes to the regulator, so it should be OK(did mine that way as well), like I said, you can always check it with a multimeter
