Most CJ builders and owners would agree that the electrics have been the 'Achilles Heel' of the C J750. Once it rains the old box set up shorts out and fries the battery. Not good if you are miles away from home. Next nightmare is the voltage regular that needs adjusting or replacing more often than underwear. This is responsible for sending the exact voltage to the battery so it recharges. If the voltage is too high or too low the battery will not charge. This mean it will only run as long as the charge last in the battery. After that the bike is not going anywhere. Thats an interesting point I might add. Many people have asked me whether the bike can run without a battery or low battery charge. The usual question is ' can I just kick start my CJ and continue on?'. the answer is a very clear NO!
To sort out this major flaw and improve the CJ's performance we have designed our own wiring harness. This design is fool proof. We housed the electrical system in a side mounted box away from weather and any possible thieves who might want to hot wire the bike. Not only have we put the electronic mounted on the side box but we also put inside the heavy duty battery. We have also added quick release connectors on our wiring to the sidecar. All of these features equates to being able to remove the sidecar without changing over the battery and mounting it somewhere on the bike and cutting all the wires to the sidecar if you choose to go Solo. Next we have done away with the nasty old regular system and added a very reliable Solid State or CDI electronic firing system. This means there is no need for a distributor cap or coil. The bike will never ever miss fire because we put sensor points on the fly wheel inside the engine. So no need for any adjust ever again. Over all the performance is more reliable and a much cleaner spark.
Just another nice finishing off touch that we are Marquass Motorcycles strive for.
