![]() ![]() Were we to add a second bulb of the same kind, totaling to 6 Ohms, the current would be equivalent to 2 amps. An example would be if we assume our standard battery of 12V to have a load of 3 Ohms (unit of resistance) bulb, the current would be equivalent to 4 amps. Resistance is created by loads, which are bulbs, fuel pumps, sensors, etc. For us, this is saying that given the constant voltage of our battery, the current will be inversely correlated with the resistance we induce. Where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance. One essential formula that should be known is Ohm's Law, represented as For the most part, you'll notice that almost all of the components are labeled in the diagram itself, and those that aren't tend to be very basic ones that have relatively universal symbols in diagrams or are able to be intuitively understood (such as the lines across the pages being wires, and the dots in them wire junctions).īulbs: Generic "load" (power-consuming component).ĭiode: Prevents current opposite direction of arrow.įuse: Opens circuit in case of excessive current. Here are some of the more useful electronics symbols pulled from the diagram of the GT250. However, a heightened sense of intuition for a less-technical individual trying to address an issue on their motorcycle may be something that can be taken away from this. ![]() This instructable intends to act as a very, very basic coverage of these systems and variation between motorcycles should be assumed at any point. I’ll use a diagram from my current project, a 1972 Suzuki GT250 motorcycle to help explain. Covering the basics is a great way to tie everything together and show some of the fascinating engineering and problem solving behind general automobile electronics systems. While some basic understanding of electronics is recommended especially if you are trying to currently diagnose an issue yourself, I will assume a nearly-blank foundation to build off of. ![]() While cars have increasingly complex electrical systems that continually reduce the feasibility of DIY-repairs or diagnoses, motorcycle electronics, although also including more and more advanced electronics, are still far simpler almost all diagrams you'll find will fit within 1-2 pages. ![]()
