CABLE & HARNESS ROUTING
Note the following when routing cables and wire
harnesses.
A loose wire, harness or cable can be a safety hazard.
After clamping, check each wire to be sure it is
secure.
• Do not squeeze wires against the weld or end of
its clamp.
• Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame
with their respective wire bands at the designated
locations. Tighten the bands so that only the
insulated surfaces contact the wires or wire
harnesses.
• Route harnesses so they are not pulled taut or
have excessive slack.
• Protect wires and harnesses with electrical tape
or rubing if they contact a sharp edge or corner.
Clean surfaces thoroughly before applying tape.
• Do not use wires or harnesses with a broken
insulator. Repair by wrapping them with pro·
tective tape or replace them.
• Route wire harnesses 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 does not interfer with any moving or
sliding parts.
• After routing, check that the wire harnesses arc
not twisted or kinked.
• Wire harnesses routed along the handlebars
should not be pulled taut. have excessive slack,
be pinched, or interfere with adjacent or sur·
rounding parts in any steering position.
