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 a weld or the 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 tubing where they contact a sharp edge or
corner. Clean the attaching surface thoroughly
before applying tape.
• Do not use wires or harnesses with damaged
insulation. Repair by wrapping them with a pro-
tective tape or replace them.
• Route wire harnesses to avoid sharp edges or
corners.
• Also 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.
e 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.
e 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.
