Wire Gauge Amperage Chart for Motorcycles - Revival Cycles
There are a lot of factors in play when choosing the appropriate wire gauge for carious components on your motorcycle. I've never come across a chart specifically for motorcycles so I made one using a calculator that factors wire gauge, amperage, and length.
Electrical Wiring For Motorcycles - Classic Motorcycle Build
Many motorcycle builders use standard automotive-type wire found in parts stores, but there is a difference between SAE-rated wire and AWG (American Wire Gauge) sizing. AWG wire always has more copper for a given gauge size than SAE-rated wire does, and more copper is better.
Simple Motorcycle Wiring Diagrams (Ignition & Lights)
Motorcycle Wire Gauges. Most motorcycles use: 16 to 18 gauge wire for the primary wires and wires to controls, lights, etc. 12 to 14 gauge wires for components with a heavier load like starters, generators, and battery grounds. Use a copper stranded wire that’s insulated in plastic.

2014年7月10日 · If you’re using electric start, connect one of the lugs of your starter solenoid to the positive (+) battery terminal with a 4-6 gauge wire. The other lug connects to the thick wire going to the starter. You also have two small wires or connector tabs on the solenoid. Connect one of these to the backbone wire and the other to your starter switch.
Wire, wire codes, reading & interpreting schematics, metric & SAE ...
American wire sizes are specified in GAUGE (ga), a different system of measurement. If you are replacing or installing wiring, use the same equivalent or next lower ga number (that means the next larger size) as shown. In the American System (SAE), the gauge number gets SMALLER as the wire size INcreases.

Here are some more things to consider as we play with the wiring on our motorcycles. The gauge (size) of our wires is important. Don't replace wires with a smaller gauge wire. It will tend to overheat and blow fuses. A bigger gauge wire is OK but never a smaller gauge wire.
Wiring A Motorcycle From Scratch - Classic Motorcycle Build
Most old motorcycle wiring is 16-gauge or 18-gauge. Heavier 12-gauge or 14-gauge wire is required when you need something that can handle a bit more load, like starter and generator wires. The wire rolls you buy in auto parts stores are usually copper wire insulated with plastic.
Basic Motorcycle Wiring
Best Electrical Wire for Motorcycles. Most classic motorcycle wiring is 16-gauge or 18-gauge. For starter and generator wires, a heavier 14g or 12g is needed. Heavier 12-gauge wire is required when you need something that can handle a bit more load.
