Honda motorcycles from roughly 1974 and on incurred many specific changes to comply with worldwide safety regulations. Many of the changes were aimed at increasing visibility on the road and safety when operating a motorcycle. The easiest way to tell if your motorcycle falls in this "later" category is from the inclusion of a 3-fuse fusebox on the motorcycle. Earlier motorcycles used a single 15amp fuse for the entire motorcycle whereas later motorcycles used a 15amp main fuse and 7amp or 10amp fuses on the headlight and taillight circuits. In this article, we will cover how Honda set up the headlight and running light circuits on these motorcycles and how to troubleshoot every electrical part and wire within it.

I have watched around 8 of your videos. You are a fantastic teacher, - and your methodical way of explaining, shooting the video, editing and fantastic use of graphics is first class. I already had a pretty good grasp of wiring and trouble shooting on Vintage Hondas, - but when someone asks for help. the fist thing I suggest is to watch some of your videos. Well done, - and thanks for your efforts in helping people to learn.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very good presentation style!
I love these videos. You’re a great teacher, and the thoughtful production makes the content enjoyable to watch. I know making these types of videos takes a lot of time…it’s a labor of love. I’m guessing from the “collective” part of your brand that we have similar motives…knowledge conservation and propagation. Each view is a human being edified! That’s priceless.
Have had a cb360 since 75. Very helpful
THIS will come in handy if I have any concerns on my CB360T... THANKS!!!
What a fantastic graphic and presentation. That is something special.. congratulations.. really impressive.
Thank you for all the information you have provided
I was troubleshooting my electrical system on my 75 CB125S, I opened up the left side stator cover to find oil spilling out. Is this normal? I’d imagine it helps with cooling. Does anyone have any info on this? Thanks!
Hey question I bought a vintage Honda and I'm confused it did not come with a battery I'm not sure if it's 12 volt or 6 volt how would I tell the difference??
Its all about what bike it is. I would figure out what bike you have and it should be easy to check either in the Honda service manual for the bike or by looking it up online. Most of the smaller cc bikes were 6v with the 175cc and larger bikes being 12v.
