Cables and Harness Routing

Note the following when routing cables
and wire harnesses:
•
A loose wire, cable or harness may cause
safety hazard. After clamping, check each
wire to make sure it is secured.
•
Do not squeeze wires against the weld or its
clamp.
•
Secure wires and wire harnesses to the
frame with 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 that they neither pull too
tight nor have excessive slack.
•
Protect wires or wire harnesses with
electrical tape or tube if they contact a sharp
edge or corner.
•
Route wire harnesses to avoid sharp edges
or corners.
•
Avoid the projected ends of bolts and
screws.
•
Keep wire harnesses far away from the
exhaust pipes and other hot parts.
•
Be sure grommets are seated in their groves
properly.
•
After clamping, check each harness to be
certain that it is not interfered with any
moving or sliding parts.
•
After routing, check that the wire harnesses
are not twisted or kink.
•
Wire harnesses routed along the handlebar
should not be pulled too tight or have
excessive slack, be rubbed against or
interfere with adjacent or surrounding parts
in all steering positions.
•
Thoroughly clean the surface where tape is
to be applied.
•
Wrap electrical tape around the damaged
parts or replace them.
