Ellz10,

Post a picture of your + battery cable after you get her done..

This is a local place. This is what you were asking for.
Someone said 70amp for the starter not sure if that what yours can do cranking an 836.

Fine strand battery cable may do better but you can use this as a reference. Remember this chart is for continuous loads,  not intermittent starter loads.  Cold weather hard start kits for equipment and trucks always go up in conductor size or use dual standard cables..

It has nothing to do with how his battery is wired. His problem is wiring off the solenoid. If he would follow the diagram sent plus the duplicated advice in this thread and his other, he’d be riding, not blowing fuses.

Someone OKed his schematic. I’ll re-read the post. I’m sure he said this was his first wiring project..

I just wanted to see the 4 or more wires terminated at the battery like in the linked schematic. I’m not sure where his battery is. 😁 Looks like he’s doing a good job..

 These bikes are wired with the pos from the battery directly to one side of the solenoid, that solenoid terminal is also used as a tie in point that feeds power to the rest of the bike. The other side of the solenoid goes directly to the starter. 
  Let us know how it works out.
