====== Honda NTV650 Revere - Wiring diagram ======

Here it is the **wiring diagram drawn in color**. It was derived by me from a black and white printed diagram from Honda. Inspecting the original drawing I spotted two erros: there were two missing joints. Both were in the main harness, one on the green wires and the other in the white/green wires.

===== Headlight wiring =====

===== Harness wires gauge =====

Inside the main wiring harness you will find at least three types of cables; they are stranded cables of different gauges, these are the specifications:

^  ^ Outer diameter  ^ Number of strands  ^ Strand diameter  ^ Cross-section area  ^ AWG equivalent  ^
| Thin    |  1.70 mm |  20 |  0.16 mm |  0.40 mm² | 21 AWG 20/34  |
| Medium  |  1.85 mm |  30 |  0.16 mm |  0.60 mm² | 19 AWG 30/34  |
| Thick   |  2.65 mm |     |          |           |               |

The outer diameter refers to the overall cable, including the insulator. The AWG gauge is calculated measuring the diameter of the single strand and calculating the overall cross-sectional area; then the nearest value is looked into the [[wp>American_wire_gauge|AWG gauge table]].

===== Insulating tape =====

The main **wiring harness** is assembled using extensive **electrical tape**, both for the external wrapping and to insulate some internal connections. These are the characteristics of the tapes used:

{{ .:honda_ntv650:honda-electrical-tape.jpg?320|Electrical tapes used by Honda}}
^  Color  ^  Width  ^  Thickness  ^
| Black   |  20 mm  |  0.10 mm |
| Blue    |  40 mm  |  0.20 mm |

The black tape is very soft and flexible, unlike the ones commonly found on the market which have a thickness of 0.13 or even more.

===== Connectors =====

The **mini connectors** used into the wiring harness are the **MTW Sumitomo** unsealed series, with **2.8 mm** terminals. Here are the part numbers:

^  Sumitomo MTW series  ^^
^ 6040-2111  | Housing Female, 2P  |
^ 6030-2981  | Housing Male, 2P    |
^ 6040-3111  | Housing Female, 3P  |
^ 6030-3991  | Housing Male, 3P    |
^ 6040-4111  | Housing Female, 4P  |
^ 6030-4991  | Housing Male, 4P    |
^ 6040-9111  | Housing Female, 9P  |
^ 6030-9991  | Housing Male, 9P    |
^ 1500-0071  | Male terminal 2.8 mm, tinned brass  |
^ 1800-2097  | Male terminal 2.8 mm, nickel-plated copper  |
^ 8240-4092  | Female terminal 2.8 mm, tinned brass  |
^ 8240-4050  | Female terminal 2.8 mm, nickel-plated copper  |

Here you can download the **{{.:honda_ntv650:sumitomo-mtw-connectors.pdf|Sumitomo MTW series conntector catalog}}**. Beware of the **thickness** of the male terminal: it original is **0.5 mm**, whereas you can find many low quality replicas that are only 0.3 mm.



===== Fuel pump connector polarity =====

After disassembling the carburetors you may want to force the fuel to fill them again. Using the start button and letting the entire engine rawwing for a long time may be an high load for the battery, so you may prefer to provide 12 V directly to the pump connector.

In this photo you see the polarity (red is positive and black is negative) of the connector from the wiring harness to the pump:

You will hear the noise from the working pump. Ance the carburetors are full, the pump will stop.
