Unsheathed wires?
'09 Ninja non EFI.
Took the left hand side fairing off today to clean the build up of Motul Factory cahin lube which lovingly makes it's way onto the fairings and noticed a unsheathed wire sitting on bare metal. In the photo below, just to the right of the idle screw there is a black connector attaching to green and black wires, to the right of the black connector this cable routes down towards the vent hoses: what's got me worried is that where this cable currently routes down, it's sitting on bare metal (looking top down from the left hand side of the bike almost where the seat is): close up: I tried pulling the sheathing up but there's no slack. Anyone know if this is the correct route for this cable or where it should go if this isn't? Many thanks, A. |

You can wrap some plastic hoses & electric taped around it to protect it. I think that's the signal wires.

Nope, that's the connector to the side stand switch. I think the angle of your view is misleading you. Does your side stand switch work?
The blue arrow in the following picture points to the connector (disconnected on my bike) that you are looking at: |

sorry about the mis-id of the wire/plug..but doesn't matter..just re-route it, and may beb ziptie it somewhere so it won't rub...wrap some electrical tape/plastic or rubber hose around would be good too.

Update: In this pic, it looks like the insulated wire is behind the metal frame. Pull it away and look at the wire. If it is cut, then wrap it with electrical tape and forget about it. |
