.....

Your file of 786.3 KB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 19.5 KB for this filetype.
....
so if you want the wiring diagram post your email address and I'll send it to you..... ( that's silly!)

ADMIN.... WHY is the file size so small on this forum ? I've tried several times to post pictures and a file and every time I am blocked because the file size is too big....
the Ninjette forum runs the same software I think and I have no problem posting multiple files at once !
I think you should change the settings so people can actually post something here besides chitchat !
.....Thanks

Seriously. When is the admin going to move from the 1990s to the present? It makes the forum a lot harder to use and a lot less fun when you can’t easily attach pictures. It doesn’t cost any money at all to use some storage on the server.

It also destroys the continuity of the forum. When you put something on one of those image hosting sites, it goes away after a while. And then you are left with threads that talk about images that don’t exist anymore. And it’s a mess.

As I used to own a forum, I have volunteered my services to increase this file size if the admin doesn’t know how to do it. But I had not heard anything back from them.

Can I ask you guys how much it cost you to join the forum ? When you pay the bills you can make the decisions on how it runs .

I'm only a moderator on the forum but have contacted the Administrator to see if we can fix the photo issues. At one time the photos would automatically resize when uploading. Our previous webhost had gotten hacked ad really screwed things up so we had to fid another web provider which go us back up and running. Hopefully we'll get back to normal. If you are posting from a Windows based desktop you can right click on the picture or multiple pictures and select resize. If resize image doesn't appear in the drop down menu then you will need to download the free app from the Microsoft app store.

I know some forums you can copy and paste or just drag picture into your post. Those forums are usually sponsored by large companies with tons that promote there products. We are a small forum with minimal sponsors that doesn't cost anyone anything to join. You will also notice that this is one of the few forums that is drama free and more helpful than some of the larger forums. This why I joined the forum back in 2016. BTW, I am the only moderator left on the forum and for the most part my job has been easy as this has to m=be the most well behaved and helpful group of people I've ever been a part of. I'm active on a few other forums and by far this is the best one to be a apart of.

Just be patient and we'll get this fixed up.

Can I ask you if you know how the economics of a Forum work? You have it all wrong. The users are exactly the people who pay the bills. Every time you look at this site, you make ad revenue. There is also an exit strategy someday if the forum grows large. People want to buy these things to integrate into their marketing strategy. Companies that might like to buy this forum eventually include importers of Chinese bikes, importers of Chinese bike parts, tire manufacturers, etc.

See all those ads? Those pay the meager hosting fees. It costs almost nothing to run a forum. Trust me. I have owned them.

The real effort in a forum comes from the moderation team. That’s who puts in the heavy lifting. Jerry’s volunteer work is what makes this place go round.

i. Certainly don’t know the economics of how a forum works ,but I was raised to not bitch and complain when I got something for free .The owner of this site is the one who paid for it not you ,so he gets to run it how he sees fit .Complaining about a free lunch ,free groceries ,and 6 months rent is bad form and makes you look pretty “classy” .

Well, I have a real good cure for this never darken the door again ! if I can't post a picture then screw it Yes it's free but it's useless to me !
I thought I would give the powers that be a chance to fix the problem
I ran a site for a long time till I could no longer afford it's $150.00 a month charge...
for the site name and hosting ...no it's not cheap and it takes alot of work to do it right but some don't even bother checking on it..... like this one it seams.... they hand it over to a volunteer and you never see them again.... the volunteer is the hero here ! not the owner so I'll see if he changes it, if not I will leave and never come back !
too bad too... it's the only RX4 forum I know of ! OOOh well !

I have a pdf of the 2020 wiring diagram for the RX4. PM me and I'll be happy to email it out. The 2021 will be slightly different due to stuff like tire pressure monitor.

Postimage and Imgbb, picture hosting sites work well plus they can be loaded in a separate window and enlarged to show detail. Something that cannot be done with other pictures and I have found that very valuable when looking at small parts or mods or wiring diagrams.

LOL.... I USED to be computer savvy.... but not any more I came up from MSDOS boys
and I don't run more than one program at a time if I can get away with it ! keeping CPU speed up at maximum is why we have a computer ! load it down with 5 or 6 programs and watch the CPU speed plummet !
I've not tried that windows trick to resize a picture, it's quite possable there is an easy way to do it... I run windows 10 pro. in my new computer and it is a big and fast thing that cost double what my RX4 did ! but learning windows 10 is something
else entirely ! I hate windows ! too many things helping you do too many things when you don't want it to ! but it's what I got !

Well, I finally got smart and put the file on the Ninjette.org site.... a great site for
the Kawasaki Ninja 250R and many many other bikes with knowledgeable people to talk to. I frequent that site alot because I have a Ninja.... and the file fit there just fine.
you can search for "Readable wiring diagram for the CSC RX4" it is a big picture but if you try to shrink the size it gets blury fast !
......
I hope that helps

Hi Bob, just tried to download the wiring diagram. That site wants me to join in order to do any downloads. Pls send me the wiring diagram...pyoungbl@aol.com. I already have one for the 2020 RX4 but my 2021 is different enough that the newer diagram would be useful. Thanks, Peter Y.

Done pete ! I sent it to ya !
gmail gave me fits as it added a period at the front for some reason and then wouldn't let me edit it... after fussing with it for several minutes it came up with your correct address so I sent it ! LOL..... the more the programs try to help the less reliable they become !
I hope you get it ! LOL

Hay Pete how are you and your 2021 RX4 getting along now? any problems ?

Thanks for the wiring diagram. It's pretty hard to read. I'm guessing that has to do with the fact that it has been copied, compressed, and re-formatted a few times.

I have not had any problems with the 2021 but, truth be told, I have not put many miles on it since April. The cancer diagnosis, surgery, chemo and radiation treatment really kicked my ass. I'm almost to the point where I might take the bike out but just not 100% yet.

Well, Hang in there Pete ! your on the up and up now... it just takes twice as long as it did when you were 20 ! LOL....
when I look at that wiring diagram it comes up where I can just increase the magnifaction
by poking a + mark at the top right of the screen grey print on white paper is not the best
for a wiring diagram so YES that makes it real hard to read....
it seems that the way the aux.plug ins on the 2021 are powered is different than the 2020 version... Todd who is putting in a TFT dash on his 2020 version was having trouble with that..... sense you have both wiring diagrams at hand can you see if you can find what is different for him ?
it seems he hooked it up and both aux plug-in's are hot all the time and the switch does nothing.... and I am sure that is not right... so what changed ???

I have a good copy of the 2020 diagram, easy to read. My intent was to see if I could spot the differences. When I enlarge the file you sent it's unreadable. Mine is a .pdf and yours is a different format. I checked my 2021 bike and the cigar lighter is clearly switched (checked with a Fluke meter).
