Yamaha Diversion 900

How Vikings fit BikeVis Bullets to a 900 Diversion
(This can be used for any type of bike)

First take a Viking. remove spear, shield and any other weapons.

   
   
   
•     Take a bike and assemble necessary tools. As a minimum  you'll need a drill and a knife to trim the wire. Other tools are useful,  particularly if it doesn't work.
  
  
  

   
   
•     I decided to wire my BikeVis bullets into the sidelight. On  the Diversion, the side light has a useful connector to the wiring loom on the  right side of the fairing. Disconnect the side lamp connector, pull the bulb  holder out. Be careful not to drop the bulb on the floor as they cost 60 pence  to replace.
  
  
  
  

   
   
• Now  we need to look inside the fairing to find a place where drilling a hole isn't  going to be expensive. The insides of fairings are great places to fix odd bits  of equipment. Try not to drill into them. Find a place where it's flat on the outside  and away from anything that gets hot. I decided that it would be OK under the  indicator mountings, as these are well forwards of the hot bits
  
  
  
  

   
   
•     Drill a hole big enough to allow the wire to go through,  thread it through and stick the Bullet on over the hole.
  
  
  
  

   
   
•     Have a break. Get a map out and look for new countries to  discover or monasteries to raid. Right, back to work.

   
   
•     I decided to use a block connector to join all the wires  together.
  
  
  
  
  

   
   
•      On the Yamaha, the  two wires to the sidelight are black and yellow and brown and white. I guessed  that the brown and white one was the live feed. To prove it, I stripped the  insulation off the wires, earthed the BikeVis black wire on the frame and (with  the sidelight on) and touched the black and white wire to the brown and white  pin in the block connector on the wiring loom. If the BikeVis bullet lights up,  that's the live feed, as they only work if wired the correct way. If it doesn't  light up, check to see if you've turned on the ignition, check if the black  wire is correctly earthed on the frame. Then test the other pin. The one that  lights up the bullet is the live pin.
  You need to attach the two black and white wires (one from  each Bullet) to the live wire to the sidelight. You also need to attach each  black earth wire to an earth point- again the wire from the sidelight will do  fine.
  
  
  

   
   
•     Strip back the insulation on all the wires, push them into  the block connector and tighten the screws. Check that it all works. Now undo  the wires and look at the routing. Ensure that the wires don't hang down onto  exhausts or on hot oil cooler feed pipes, check that they don't snag in the  steering. Wire them back up.
  
  
  
  

   
   
   
   
   
•     Tuck the wires away, use a bit of insulating tape or the  cable ties supplied to keep them where they should be. Turn on the sidelight,  check it works.
  
  
  
  
  

   
   
•     Now go and invade somewhere!
