05 f4i flush mount question
 

I did a search and have found nothing. I bought some flush mount signals for my 05 that were supposed to be plug n play but the plug doesnt fit so now i have to cut and splice the wires.

the problem is 1 the wires are to short nd 2 i dont kno wut is + or - on the new signals its white and yellow. the old there was 3 wires green alone then green and orange together.

how would i go about doing this?????

I was thinking leaving the stock plug plugged in and just splicing it with th new ones.

RE: 05 f4i flush mount question
 

Do believe the green is the ground. Sounds as tho you flushies are just turn signals only ie. just 2 wires. There is a mod were you can use a resistor and make them into running lights too.

ya im not worried about th running light because with the flush mounts your not gonna see much anyways. but do you think splicing it will work or will it ruin it?

RE: 05 f4i flush mount question
 

Just use two. Think (on my F4) orange for one side n blue for the other and green is the ground. You can splice into whats there, that should work fine. Just make sure to get it covered and seal as good as you can (tape or shrink wrap).

ya I have electrical tape and I think im going to OSH and getting 2 brass clamps to put the wires in and clamp shut then wrap with tape, similar to what you get with rear signals. thanks for the help.

This is what I did.I spliced after the oe connector so i could re use it.All you need to find out is the wire for the running lights and the wire that runs your turn signals. and is easy.Do you have a test light? If so just turn your ignition on and see which wire has power....that one is your running lamps though you won't needthat one.Then do the turn signal and find out which wires has power and flashes...and there you have it.Most after market flas mounted turn signal use a single fill bulb for turn signals only so will have to eliminate your running lamps.But you will be fine .Good luck.I hope it helps.

I did it the green wasnt a ground it was the actual blinker wire the orange wires on the left side wer posi and negative so i spliced the green blinker light with the posi wire and it works perfect. did teh same on the other side and they work good


new problem tho. My battery died and i jumped it and now my console doesnt work ie tach speedo temp fuel all that the signs on the top work like left right N FI and brights and the clock anyone kno why that happend and how to fix it

RE: 05 f4i flush mount question
 

hope its a fuse...if not that may be expensive...


why did you have to jump it...were you having battery problems or did something run it down?

did you tape back the constant on(running light) wire?

RE: 05 f4i flush mount question
 

i left the power on so it just ran it down im hoping its the fuse doesnt it sound like it those few things are the only things not working? its just tach speedo mileage temp so im thinking fuse the signals and head lights and brights work ,

and there wasnt a constant my wiring was weird like playful god sed it was blue one side orange on the other then a gren i tried to hook it up with no green and it was running light no blinker then i spliced the green to the positive both sides and i got blinkers now

now its just that one problem and its making me angry hondas suppose to be the most efficient car/bike/atv/generator out there and its frustratin me haha

do you know where your fuses are? check them...if not they are under the seat...actually miss the accessability of the banana seat...you can get to lots that you cant get to with the split seat without un bolting the seat...but its the price to pay to have the split seat

WildChild got a new battery it started still no temp tach speed.....checked all my fuses and the 10A third or 4th down it says Ind, taillight and somethin else dont member,,,, but it keeps blowing im thinking my new LP racing LED taillights might be blowing it out ins the IND mean indicators or somethin like that? does a fuse run the dash? i blew my spare when i changed it right on start up it blows,,,,, the odd thing is the signals work perfect front and rear and brake light i just have no tail lights or dash god I hate electrical

RE: 05 f4i flush mount question
 

also does anyone know if this is bad to wire the signals i spliced the green with the blue and white stripe and then the orange with stripe to the green and the other side single tap to the new flush mount signals. the signals blink at normal speed but theres no running light should i re wire could that have caused my problem wil that kill my battery? or could that have made the tach speedo and temp not work? also why would my tail lights not be working?? but th signals do and brake light with the 10An 3rd or 4th fuse that says taillight ind and somethin else keeps burnin

RE: 05 f4i flush mount question
 

seperate all of your wiring up front...if you grounded your running lights up front i would bet they are on the same ckt as the tail lights...

go to this web site and you can grab a pdf copy of the F4i service manual...it can give you complete wiring schematics...

its in the bottom left corner...just click on the F4i and it will let you download it...

also off topic but is it bad to run with no muffler? but leaving the piping? i kno on cars its not bad just not sure about bikes there alot more delicate then a car
.

RE: 05 f4i flush mount question
 

well i have seen folks do it but i do not know what the long term harm may be...

you can find plenty of cheap slipons between ebay and craigs list...i paid 130 shipped for my D&D...its the most badass sounding pipe for the F4i...it sounds soo crisp...but earplugs are required

RE: 05 f4i flush mount question
 

ya I have the 2 bros slip on and i took it off to put my signals on the rear so i could have room and started it and it was nice haha it sounded like a beast made a harley sound like a honda
