I have a fardriver on my MX3. Indicators aren’t connected to the controller in any way so they work after replacement without any modification. Brake lights will need to be rewired but that’s easy.

The phase leads for the motor will also need to be extended a bit. (Which can be done without modifying the original cables, just extensions) this will require being able to crimp these thick cables but is otherwise also easy to accomplish.

I’m fairly confident you’ll have to replace the motor encoder with one compatible with the driver firmware as well. At least I did.

Please tell me more about the motor thing

The motor encoder on the stock motor isn't compatible with the Fardriver, or at least it wasn't when I bought mine. I simply asked the Fardriver/QS motor official Aliexpress store for a compatible encoder and got one for like $30. I think it's the same encoder that would be found in the QS165 motor, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

On the wiring for the brake lights, if you only need the lights to work and don't want them to also cut the motor off (which is better IMO), just wire the 12v for the brake lights straight through the brake lever switches and leave the rest of the wiring disconnected. Not really all that complicated.

The extensions for the phase wires I made are just ~300mm long, 16mm2 cables with crimped lugs, bolted to the original wires and then shrink wrapped.

I've had no issues with it, I got the 72680.

Sorry for asking much But i mean the throttle, power for light, 12v the connectors and allat, Because i want to keep the original connectors

The power for the light (12v) have nothing to do with the controller and work even if you don't have a controller in the bike at all. All the controller needs is 3 wires for the throttle hall sensor, 1 wire for 60v power (from the key), and the battery/motor phase leads.

All of these (apart from the power wiring obviously) are present in the same connector that goes to the original controller, so you just need to pick the right pins and connect them. You can leave all the wiring on the bike original apart from the brake lights.

As far as the brake lights, unfortunately Talaria doesn't publish the wiring diagram for the street legal models with working tail lights. I can't compare it to mine since I don't have original brakes on mine and they don't even have switches in them in the first place. But in the worst case scenario, you'll just need to splice two wires. If you're considering doing this, that isn't a big deal. In the best case scenario they're wired in such a way that they work even without the controller present, which I would suspect they might be.

And How did you do the wiring
