Coil relay mod adjusted for 906
Posted: Sat Oct 12, 2013 11:42 am
I am posting this in case it is useful for 906 owners doing a coil relay mod. I did mine by referencing the '750 Paso Wiring Upgrade by Jonathan Slocum' which explains the mod for the 750 and 'Engine Feed Relay by David Hooau' which applies it to the 906 with a few complexities that I avoided.
I have been installing a new wiring loom so did this job as part of the process. I am sure if I have made a mistake others will offer feedback and I can edit this. The bike goes :-)
As per the 906 wiring diagram the coils are fed by the red wire coming from the connector on the right side by the seat. This wire can be cut and connected to a new red wire that feeds to the relay. In this picture I have done that, so my finger is on the wire that was cut that still goes to the coils. I shrink wrapped it. The wire by my thumb is connected to a longer red wire that goes back to a relay. I used 5mm 25A wire.
The red wire from the connector now connects to 86 of the relay:
NOTE: Some relays have the fixing point as if this picture is upside down, but the position of the tabs on the relay and numbering is the same.
30 is connected to the Starter Solenoid at the point where the other red wires are attached. This wire has an in-line fuse (I've put in a 20A fuse):
85 is earthed:
The wire from 87 on the relay is fed to the horizontal coil and from that point a wire connects to the vertical coil. That is the same as the original wires (which I disconnected and shrink-wrapped:
P.S. The coils are the dc3-1's from Dynatek.
