Hello guys

Need an advice here. Considering of changing an OEM dash to something tine and simple. After some investigations of wiring diagram I concluded that the flashers relays are located directly on a dash, so to be able to remove it I need to add some simple relays to the harness. Ideally, a single small flashing relay as is shown on the picture from a wiring manual of a this particular unit. What I face is that I do not have such simple circuits on the bike, but instead from switch I have only two control signals, which go to the dash ("1" and "8" on a diagram) and on the dash I have four outputs to all blinkers (6, 7, 24, 25), positive (23, 26) and negative (14, 23).

Appreciated any thoughts and advice. Thank you guys.

Please look carefully at the wiring diagram as I believe you have a partial CanBus.

You could create a nightmare for yourself.

Can-bus or not - V7 III

Hello I could not find the answer to this in the search. Does the 2017 V7 III use can-bus? I am looking at some new lights and I keep seeing this on various websites. "Newer vehicle electrical systems may require a CAN Bus bulb for operation." Thanks Maya

Okay Todd, but I should say it sounds quite gross. I still did not get what I said wrong, if I did - my apologies, english is not my native language. I will spend my time trying to get on well with the way here, but my expectation was that here I can find those people who is keen on sharing the knowledge, and if for the money - so why not? If it not true - let me know I will save your and my time then.

Before answering to Scott I investigated the topic about canbus on the forum as well and read his post which he replied with above also. I still can not get how the post about V7III can help me with my Classic model: neither my wiring diagram has it nor visually I've seen such twisted wiring on my bike during investigations, nor user or workshop manuals have any note about it, but still read through the thread and did not manage to find any more hooks to continue investigation.

Point me out please if you see I am still wrong, I'd be grateful. Otherwise I'd appreciated a normal conversation guys instead this hazing of newbie.
 
Nobody is hazing you.

This is a compendium of knowledge but one must use the SEARCH function to look for and read about topics. If after exhausting your reading skills and you haven’t found what you seek, then a question would be appropriate and most welcome.

Unfortunately as happens many times here, people just pop in and fire off a question looking for somebody to spoon feed then an answer.

That is just not the way this forum works. It would become a bloody mess if it ran that way. There would be redundancy galore.

This is not Social Media and all of this is right at the top of the page in the rotating screens.

I have not looked at your particular wiring diagram for your motorcycle so I cannot confirm if a partial CanBus exists on your motorcycle however if you have a wiring diagram, just look for the sine wave symbol in the wiring. When you see that, if any, is CanBus which is very different from old standard wiring.

Relax, enjoy. Be happy. 👌👍🙏
 
Thx man, I accept and embrace the rules of the forum, I'd be happy if one day I'd be knowledgeable enough to contribute to the common deal. I attached the link to my wiring diagram, but it was removed by the forum rules. I read your previous thread and searched for the corresponding symbols on it, it seems it is not there. So, it leaves me the hope that my bike is old enough not to have a CanBus and I'll be able to finish my idea.

On the scheme the instrument panel is "43". The main question for me now is if I remove it how to wire together so it works properly:
- right turn control signal from switch - R/B (1)
- front right turn indicator - R (24)
- rear right turn indicator - R (25)
- key + input V12 - G (21)
- ground - B (14, 22)
- separate flasher relay which I possibly need to add to the scheme

I think I stuck here due to lack of that domain knowledge. Already went through the docs of 2, 3, 4 and 5 pins relays and their wiring diagrams. All of them use as examples switches of on-off-on type, when OEM V7C looks like different: sending control signals instead of cutting the circuits.

But today I found some interesting thingy which might be a solution for me I think, even though I am not happy it is a bigger than I wanted.

Its manual wiring looks very promising to the problem I am trying to solve
