Did it 100k plus miles
It's been quite some time since I been in here sorry about that. I turned the dial on the bike. I'm at almost 110k miles now
.she still runs strong and I ride her like i stole her 80 to.90 highway daily. Since moving to Florida corrosion is massive on the main harnesses. I'm running into electrical issues. Blown fuses etc. ebay here i come for a harness. Since I can't rely on the light I decided to go buy the new Kawasaki elementor this weekend has the 400 engine slightly stroked. It's not a bad bike but it's not my ninja. I'm coming here to see what all your option are if I tear it down to do a harness should I just pull the engine and rebuild. Looking forward to your thoughts. Sending pics Last futzed with by Joppedo; December 10th, 2023 at 10:47 AM. Reason: Typos |

Is the harness bad, or is it just that the connectors are getting corroded? If it's the connectors, your new motorcycle will be in jeopardy for the same reason. It might be worth taking each connector apart, squirting some contact cleaner in there, greasing the pins, and putting it back together.

I've used contact cleaner and dielectric grease. Only goes so far. The actual copper/brass pins are starting to fall apart. It's a crap shoot if blinkers work to tail lights.

Well, at least you can grease the connectors on your new motorcycle if you haven't already.
