Silly Electrical Question
Im planning on wiring one of my bikes up this weekend, its an ST70, C90 12v engine with electric start and a Chinky 12v loom.
But I'm really confused why my loom has two red ring terminals?
I know this is for the battery +12v, but why are there two connectors?
Its one red wire, goes through a fuse then there are two red ring terminals.
I was just going to join them together, but am I missing something here?

thanks,

Blue,

Re: Silly Electrical Question
I found out why it has two connectors,
One for the battery and the other for the starter solenoid feed.
:D

Cheers Waynus :D
Got the wiring done last weekend and got the bike started.
It was good to here it running, even better that it started straight away.
C90 engine sounds good with an St70 upswept exhaust fitted.
Having a starter motor is cool too.

The upswept exhaust does not line up properly with the shock mount think I'll have to make a bracket.
Or revert to the low swept type I had originally planned.

Going to fit the new front shocks and disc break conversion this weekend.
The wife's not too please it's in the front room in a box.

Back brake, chain, lights left to do, then Mot before I repaint it I think.
