Where are the electrical wires on a Honda VTX 1800?
There is no reason to be stingy with the grease because you are depending on it to provide a protective barrier around the connections, protecting them against the elements. With the coil reassembled squeeze it back under the front tank mount and into place. Don’t forget to reattach the 2 electrical wires to it, remember – black wire to the inside.
What makes a Honda VTX 1800 a Fi bike?
Now that has worked for Honda and many other manufacturers for years, the problem that sets the VTX 1800 apart is that it is fuel injected (FI for short). FI means this bike has a lot of electronics and sensors that carbureted bikes don’t have. Electronics need a good power source and good grounds to function.
Why is my ground eyelet not working on my Honda VTX 1800?
This includes the electronics and the electrical ground eyelets. Anyone who knows anything about electronics will tell you that it’s hard to run power through an insulator like powder coat. This means the bike’s ground points that are trying to connect through the powder coat are struggling.
Where is the ground on a Honda VTX?
With the common electronics ground completed, doing this secondary battery ground will be a piece of cake. If you have a coolant reservoir between the motor cylinders on the left side of the bike (mostly all 05+ VTX’s) then you do not have this ground and you’re done!
