Protect wires and harnesses with electrical tape
or tubes if they contact a sharp edge or corner.
Clean the attaching surface thoroughly before
applying tape.
Route harnesses so they are not pulled taut or
have excessive slack.
A loose wire, harness or cable can be a safety
harzard. After clamping, check each wire to be
sure it is secure.
Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame
with theif respective wire bands at the designated
locations. Tighten the bands so that only the in-
sulated surfaces contact the wires or wire har-
nesses.
Do not squeeze wires against the weld or end of
its clamp when a weld-on clamp is used.
Note the following when routing cables and wire
harnesses.
CABLE & HARNESS ROUTING
Do not use wires or harnesses with a broken in·
sulator. Repair by wrapping them with a protec·
tive tape or replace them.
Route wire harnesses so they avoid sharp edges
or corners and 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 pro-
perly.
After clamping, check each harness to be certain
that it is not interfering with any moving or
sliding parts.
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 all steering positions.
After routing, check that the wire harnesses are
not twisted or kinked.
