•Wire Gauge (AWG):16 AWG: Suitable for most general-purpose wiring, including lights, switches, and accessories.18 AWG: Good for lighter loads such as signal lights and indicator bulbs.14 AWG: Suitable for heavier loads like headlight circuits and main power feeds.
•Insulation Type:PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Common and affordable, suitable for most applications.Teflon: Offers better heat resistance and durability but is more expensive.Silicone: Highly flexible and heat-resistant, ideal for areas with high temperatures or requiring flexibility.
•Length:Determine the total length you need for your projects. Common rolls come in lengths of 25 feet, 50 feet, or 100 feet.
•Color:Using different colors for different circuits can help in identifying and troubleshooting wiring.Common colors include red (positive), black (ground), blue (signal), and green (earth/ground).
•Stranded vs. Solid Wire:Stranded Wire: More flexible and less prone to breaking when bent, suitable for automotive and motorcycle use.Solid Wire: Stiffer and not as commonly used in motorcycles due to vibration.
