This happens on all of them I think - which is why the USA competitor piggy backs as I do too. The solenoid to starter is the only cable worth swapping anyway - as it's usually more open to the elements so just using the new cable allows the rubber protective boot to fit.
No that's fine Exige, my existing setup Piggybacks the OEM cables and that's what I'd do with yours for the battery to solenoid. The earth can either be doubled up or replaced I guess and the solenoid to starter replaced. Its been a while since I did it but the difference was enormous in the way the bike turned over and started. Its a great mod, well worth doing and not that costly either, IMHO. Be nice to replace the skanky cheap ones I have now with something that looks a lot more professional.
I've ordered a set - looking forward to seeing how the bike cranks over with it's recent Lithium battery...
Should crank over beautifully. Not only that but because so much less power is being lost in resistance, a lot more power will be available for the ignition circuit, so it's win/win and the bike should start really easily. Mine does
Just finished my detailed instructions first deliveries going out tomorrow as promised - let me know if the instructions made sense guys :Wideyed:
You don't have a 999 and have loads of money to spend to reduce your tax bill :Bag: but, on the other hand, if you had a bike I haven't been working on yet with another Forum Member and can provide sizes and fitment details that would be another matter :Finger:
Just to let you know mine arrived this morning ... And after coffee ..I'm on it ..will let you know how I get on ...
evening ....just wanted to let you know that I've fitted these cables today , and although I'm not inept with engines ,I'm by no means a bike mechanic . The instructions sent with the cables are self explanatory , and require the minimum of tools to fit , it probably took me and hour and a Half to do , though I did clean all the terminals and existing cables rather analy ! ... Lol ....in short simple fit ....superb out come ....any question please ask ..
My bike was v slow to turn over .... I've tried most things , new battery , replaced solenoid and cleaned and checked starter , now with this mod I hope not to press the starter button with my fingers crossed ... So far it's a vast improvement ...
Yup, that's the really big thing about these kits, no longer needing to cross your fingers and hope. It's such a great feeling to have absolute confidence that the blooming thing is going to start and start beautifully Really pleased that the Exact kit is so easy to fit. I have the expensive American kit, it works perfectly but it was a right fiddly bastard to fit and the instructions left a fair bit to be desired too.
