    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What will happen if I simply disconnect all the front end wiring

So I am building a GSX750 for my neighbor and I really don't feel like rewiring a bike that was perfectly wired stock for this build. I have all the electrics that I want to use identified (just turn signals, headlight, speedo light, tach light....yup) and there is of course a huge mess of other wires up front that the factory just threw behind that lower square fairing.

Can I just leave the other wires alone without interupting what I want?

I have a feeling I should definitely not just disconnect or cut as some thing will be sharing a circut, but I am trying my utmost to be careful not to screw this up. Typically I would just rewire myself and simplify in the process, but I have wired enough bikes to know that it is very time consuming and usually leads to trouble in some fashion.

Just want some input about what you would do in my situation.


Thanks for any advice you can offer.

personally I would look at what you have and figure out what modifications have been made.

If it is stock it is probably fine just to leave it as is. If it is modified then all bets are off. If possible restore to stock or figure out what the PO did and make sure the modifications are sound.

Starting over from scratch is a bigger challenge for sure.
 
Thanks POSPLAYR,

As far as I can tell it is good and stock lest one item the PO added, which is one of those modulators for the headlight so it flickers while you ride along. It appears to be something that will be very easy to remove.

For now I will just leave it stock and take the wires I need, leave the rest alone as it is not hurting anything to be there, and figure out a way to tuck the rest away (maybe it'll all squeeze into the headlight bucket).

Just curious if anyone has ever simplified things in a similar manner before by just taking what you need and leaving the rest or deleting the rest.

Thanks!
 
What year is that "GSX750"? :-k

I ask because some of them had monitors for various functions, and if you remove the function, the monitor goes nuts. :o
