Want to remove the side stand switch and wiring to eliminate a possible trouble spot - don't worry, I won't forget to put the stand up. Apparently i could just unplug the connector and jump the two wires (black and black/white) there, or is there a better place to do that "upstream" somewhere? I see that on some other models there's a relay that can be eliminated with a jumper wire at that location, but the 695 has only two relays, one of which has a black/white wire to it along with a couple of orange ones...
Thanks
I have bridged the wires as a stop gap until I got a new switch. And yep I would forget to flip the stand up on my Evo. Strangely, I dont forget on my old Monster with its funky old dash warning light.
Easily done at the connector, but if I could eliminate any extra wiring or components above the connector...?
You can trace them back in the loom and connect them. Remember that the stand switch will be needed for a safety cert if you sell it, so make it reversable.
I guess that was my question - where do the wires go from the connector? I can't read a schematic that I found online - is there a clear one somewhere that I could read on my laptop? Even if I could read it I probably wouldn't be able to reason this out on my own :-[
The two wires, upstream from the connector, go into the harness. IMO it doesn't make sense to go further than the connector.
Don't want to go on and on here, but I can see where the blk and blk/wht wires go in - I'm wondering where they come out! These are too small gauge to be keeping things running - not because of the current load, but because they're so thin that they could break from vibration as happens on these bikes. If I could eliminate them and do a jump back up the circuit somewhere, so much the better.
One to the ECU and the second joins other common grounds. Both are probaly/certainly following other wires 'inside' the harness.

I'd seen this kit, but it just adds complexity. They might have worded the description differently than " This bypass kit is built to the same high standards as the OEM wiring harness." ;)
