GENERAL INFORMATION
CABLE & HARNESS ROUTING
Note the following when routing cables and wire harnesses:
• A loose wire , harness or cable can be a safety hazard. Ahar
clamping , check each wire to be sure it is secure.
• Do not squeeze 8 wire against a weld or the end of its
clamp .
• Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame with their re-
spective bands 8t the designated locations. Tighten the
bands so that only the insulated surfaces contact the wires
or wife harneses.
• Route harnesses so they Bre not pulled taut or have exces-
sive slack.
• Protect wires and harnesses with electrical tape or tubing
where they contact a sharp edge or corner. Clean the at-
taching surface thoroughly before applying tape.
• Do not use wires or harnesses with damaged insulation.
Repair by wrapping them with protective tape or replace
them.
• Route wire harnesses so as to avoid sharp edges or corners.
• Avoid the projected ends of bolts and screws .
• Keep wire harnesses away from the exhaust pipes and
other hot parts .
• Be sure grommets are seated in their grooves properly.
• After clamping. check each harness to be certain that it is
not interfering with any moving or sliding parts.
• After routing. check that the wire harnesses are not twisted
or kinked.
• Wire harnesses routed along the handlebar should not be
pulled taut , have excessive slack, or interfere with adjacent
or surrounding parts in any steering position .
• Do not bend or twist control cables.
Damaged control cables will not operate smoothly and may
sti ck or bind.
