your bike doesn't have a tahco std?  i'll email you some info from the manual, email me your address brad at bikeboy dot org.

Brad, unfortunately, my 2000 M750 doesn't come with tach as OEM.  :(

wrote you a PM and emailed you too.

Thanks

So I just mocking up the wires for the common lights...they all seem to work BUT  not at the same time haha  [laugh]

from the stock harness (pig tail) there are seem to be two ground wires (black and orange)

black was for the dash background light (i'm assuming)

orange was for the neutral and fuel light (i'm assuming)

The danmoto gauge only have one ground wire...if I don't connect any of the ground wire, or just connect the black wire (from above) the turn signals indicator light will work.  However the neutral light won't work.

If I then connect the orange wire to the ground wire from the danmoto gauge = the neutral light work and the turn signal indicators won't work.

If I connect two ground wire (black and orange) to the ground wire from the danmoto gauge = the fuse burnt (this happened 5 times, yes it took that long for me to figure out, don't judge)

I don't know...any thoughts/suggestions?   [coffee]

Thanks!   [coffee]

Here a pic of the wires.


One of those wires is a hot lead, not a ground.  You have a multimeter?

Don't have a multimeter but I can get one for only $10, since I always find a way for its usefulness.

If one of those wires (Orange or Black) is the hot lead (I'm about 80% sure that it's the Orange) when what should I do?

Thanks!

Using snazzy new multimeter, figure out whether it comes on with the key or some other switch.

You can pull the back off your stock gauges to see which wires go where. 

If you end up with extra hot leads, you should pull them out of the connector so they aren't banging into things and blowing fuses.

That Organge wire was with the temp and neutral light from the stock gauge.  If I connect this wire into the ground wire from the danmoto then the neutral light comes on (but the turn signal lights won't).  The Neutral light only work when I connect this organge wire with the ground from the danmoto.

The black is the ground for the dash back lit light from the stock gauge.  With the organge wire not connect to anything, I can connect or disconnect this black wire to the danmoto ground and the turn lights will work.

If I somehowhave contact to both wires either connect one to the gram, one to the ground from danmot...the turn signal fuse will blows quickly.
  What ya think?

I went out and started installing mine yesterday...

Does yours have two Blue for high beam indicator wires?

No my stock 750 pig tail, the highbeam is the white wire and another wire connected to it but not blue.

if you are talking about the danmoto then yes the headbeam is the solid blue color.

Got the common lights to work!  [thumbsup]
Simple fix that I should have done but oh well, I know more now.
Here is the video testing out the lights:

The fuel sensor won't work because it's the digital meter sensor.  I guess it will come on whenever the fuel is low. I don't mind that at all but if it works then it's find by me.

Now need to install the tach and speedo.

Okay, trying to get the speedo meter to work but not successful thus far.  :(

Thanks!

In mm... 17 inches is 432

haha somehow I thought it's 5.5"....no Sh!t it didn't work....Thanks!  [thumbsup]

Have you sorted out the tach wire?  I have the exact spell out of the wire descriptions if you like.  I found the abbreviations aren't good enough for me to know so I asked them.

New math from measurements...

Radius of 295mm

pi r squared says that is 2732mm

And let's post up the long description of the danmoto wiring harness.
