Rear Indicator Connectors
 
Anyone know where to find the same type of connector that the rear indicator has? I'm going down the LED indicator route, and I'd like to keep the standard wiring if I can. Its for a K3.

Motrax make them, can be found at any Motrax supplier (many bike dealers) or at Demon Tweeks.

Good find. But how do you know if they are for the front or back indicators?

I imagine the connectors are the same for both front and back.

Come on, do you really think I would have asked if they were the same;)

M & P also supply the Motrax Indy Leads

Can by them in pairs (£4.99) or fours (£6.99), here are the links:

and

I'm guessing that front and rear are the same by virtue of the fact that they sell them as a four pack.

Are you sure?? In my experiece they are all the same and just a different colour, and this is to help you locate which goes where when reassembling.

Er, i hate to tell you...they are. Well they are on my SV and the many that i have worked on.

One side is grey, and the other black, thats the only difference.

Someone must have changed them on your bike for something else.

+ 1, this is the only difference as the OEM connections themselves are indenticle. I my experience this is the same with all SV650's, if you have anything differerent then you do not have OEM connectors.

Thats weird. My front ones are a rounder shaper and the rear ones are more square shaped. The guy that had the sv before me didn't seem like the modding type. So which type do you guys have?

+1 on the different connectors. Was same on my K4s and that was absolutely standard and owned by me from new. Ended up cutting the existing wires and use bullet connectors to connect them up. Bought the 4 pack of Indyleads (Motrax things) and realised they were no use.

Not sure if they're different at the rear on my bike, but I can agree that the front ones are the rounder version. I think the Motrax version of those is badged Yamaha. Bloody confusing that. Not quite managed that job that caused me to look at those in the first place yet.


Cheers,

Just done the mini indys on my sv650k6. Didn't look at the front connectors before buying a set of 4 motrax connectors!. What you need for the front ones are the motrax connectors for Yamaha. Don't know why Suzuki use 2 different types, maybe dipping their pinkies into Yamahas parts bins!

I just did this front and rear on my K3. I had the same problem as you in that the connectors on the new indicators didn't match those on the existing ones. I took the old indicators and cut the connectors off with 1 and a half inches of wire left. Did the same on the new ones. They were only 12 quid so wasn't too nervous. I basically spliced them together by exposing some of the wire, twisting them together to get a join, wee dollop of solder and then taped them up with electrical tape. Took all of 15 minutes. I am in no way a 'handy' person and found this to be very straightforward. They work perfectly. Think this only applies to non led ones though.........

Hope this helps.

Nicky
