Information about wiring harnesses and connections

Are you wondering about some things about the wiring harnesses or are you not sure about the suitability of some connections? No problem, this page contains information specifically about wiring harness connections, functionality and additional connections.

What are these wiring harnesses suitable for?

The product "Ducati/racing ignition wiring harness" is suitable for Ducati ignition and almost all racing electrical systems for example MVT and HPI.

The product "Wiring set Manki" is suitable for all Chinese Manki mopeds. Wiring sets are available for 4-Pin and 5-Pin CDI ignition. However, this product does not fit EFI mopeds. The wiring sets are made to fit only on Monkeys. The wiring set can also be installed on other monkeytype mopeds, but a perfect fit is not guaranteed by us and the responsibility for this remains with the customer. The Manki kits contain everything necessary for lights, spark and shutdown.

Additional connections

Additional connections are paid add-ons to your wiring harness. For example, you can get a brake light or a separate light switch for your wiring harness by purchasing these additional connections. Additional connections are available as separate products in the online store.

More detailed information about various additional connections

Turn signals

The additional connection of the turn signals brings the following connections to the wiring harness:

• For the blinkers
• For the indicator relay
• To the turn signal switch

The indicators must be connected to the indicator switch. For example, to the standard bar switch on your moped. The LED indicators must also have an LED indicator relay for them to work properly. This additional connection is not suitable for the Manki wiring harness.

Long/short

The additional connection is only suitable for bulbs and lights that have a high and low beam function. Examples of these are, for example, the Racetech V-Face light mask or the KTM light mask. Please remember that you cannot connect high and low beams to work lights/additional lights. (You can still make the work light work with this additional connection, but one wire will always be left without a place).

This connection is suitable for all switches with a HI-LOW-OFF function and all high/low beam switches; for example, the standard bar switch on your moped.

Kill switch

The kill switch additional wiring includes wires for a separate kill switch in addition to the ignition switch. This wiring can also be connected to any switch/button/ignition switch to turn off the moped. The order of the kill switch wires does not matter.

Thermometer/Voltmeter/Instrument light/12V accessory

This additional connection is suitable for any additional device that requires 12V power; for example, a voltmeter, thermometer or even a meter light. The front end has + (power) and - (ground) wires for any additional device that requires power.

In the battery-powered version, power is supplied to the accessory when the ignition switch is in the ON position.

In the battery-free version, power is supplied to the accessory when the moped is running.

It is not possible to connect a separate circuit breaker for a 12V accessory. This accessory connection primarily operates on the same current as everything else.

Separate switch for front and rear light

A separate light switch brings the wires from your wiring harness to the switch, where you can turn off the lights. Any 2-pole ON/OFF switch can be used. This connection works with both battery-powered and battery-free versions. In the battery-powered version, the power to the lights still goes through the ignition switch first, so the lights cannot be turned on from the switch if the power is not on first.

Brake light

The additional brake light connection brings wires to your wiring harness for the brake light switches (front and rear), and a brake light wire to the tail light. Tail lights usually have three wires, one for the tail light power, one for the ground, and one for the brake light power wire. From the tail light connector on the wiring harness:

red=rear light power

blue=brake light power

black=earth

The order of the brake light switch wires does not matter.

Horn

The location of the horn varies on mopeds. You can choose whether you want the horn wires to be at the front with the other wires or behind the left front plastic cover. The horns switch wires come at the front.
Any 2-pole button that resets, i.e. does not stay in the bottom, can be used as a work switch. Examples include the horn button on the stock handlebar switch, and the shutdown button can also be connected as a horns switch if desired.

Connecting various components

The picture shows a Derbi 6-pin voltage regulator. This voltage regulator also has a built-in flasher relay. This voltage regulator is of good quality and recommended to everyone. The connection goes like this:

• Top left = 12V DC direct current to the battery for battery charging or lights (also suitable for LED lights)
• Top center = Current from the turn signal relay to the turn signals
• Top right = 12V AC for lights (not for use with LED lights and not required)
• Bottom left = Current coming from the stator
• Bottom center = Current coming to the turn signal relay
• Bottom right = Earth

Most 4-pin accessory voltage regulators are connected like this:

• Top left = 12V DC (direct current)
• Top right = 12V AC (alternating current)
• Lower left = Stator
• Bottom right = Earth

However, remember to check the connection order of your voltage regulator before installing the wiring harness! There have been cases where the voltage regulator has overheated or even caught fire when installed in the wrong order.

Connecting the ignition switch to the wiring harness

The ignition switch connections come with every wiring harness, but it can be difficult to know which wire goes where. In the battery-free version, the ignition switch comes with two wires:

• Black
• Green

These two wires turn off the moped.

The battery-powered version comes with four wires:

• Black
• Green
• Blue
• Red (depending on the wiring harness, there may also be two blue ones)

Blue and red carry the power of the lights through the ignition switch.

Ignition switches often have 4 wires. How they are connected can be determined by measuring which 2 wires connect in each ignition switch position using a multimeter in the beeping position.

The two wires from the ignition switch that connect/beep in the OFF position are connected to the black and green wires on the wiring harness (the order does not matter).

The two wires from the ignition switch that connect/beep in the ON position are connected to the blue and red wires on the wiring harness (the order does not matter).
