Most wires are 18 guage

+1 for wiring Stator straight to the RR annoying to disconnect but very good... and I use spade connectors over bullets anyday when replacing connections


Subject is spelled wrong too btw
spelled 'wiring'

I dont now that the wire guage of any wire in the harness is undersized. My understanding that wires overheating is due to bad connections from corrossion, heat generated at the connectors.


.

Agreed,

Virtually 99% of the harness wire guage is adequate for the currents carried. The only area of concern is that the wire size of the R/R (+) and (-) are a bit small for all the current they carry. Since the R/R (+) splits very quickly and goes to the fuze block bus after entering the harness this is not as big a deal.

On the R/R (-) side depending upon how it is connected to harness, battery and Frame can current share and avoid any issues.

Making an entire harness out of 14 guage v.s. 18 guage (Bill ?) wire for example would be a great wast of time for no reason.

A new OEM harness with properly prepared connectors and a proper single point grounding scheme is all that is required. (I'm sure I have cover this before)
