Guest Royal Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 What's the easiest, read least invasive, way for me to confirm if my bike has or doesn't have this installed? Thanks, R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Polarbear Posted August 6, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted August 6, 2011 Either pray to God that he sends you the answer while you sleep or remove the right fairing and look for a wirimg harness that goes around the gas tank. It would also be hoocked to your R/R and your battery if this helps. Maybe someone has pics, sorry I don't... C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Polarbear Posted August 6, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted August 6, 2011 Sorry, just thought of this, it is hooked to your battery too, so it may be easier to just lift up the seat. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 6, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted August 6, 2011 Look for extra/unused connectors near where the VFRness is plugged in VFRness (on a 4th gen) (but the PO may have chopped the connectors off, in that case the wires running outside is a hint indeed. Unless the PO re-taped the wiring loom ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer RollinAgain Posted August 6, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted August 6, 2011 The old harness is a real pain the ass to take out so most people just clip the stator and r/r connectors off and run the new harness alongside the old as stated previously. If you look at the pictures posted you will see that the yellow wires that run from the R/R to stator plug are 12 gauge. The factory harness yellow wires are noticeably smaller in diameter. Another way to tell is to follow the positive wire (red) coming off the R/R to the battery. On the upgraded harness this red wire splits off with 1 lead running directly to the battery via a 20amp fuse and the other going straight to the starter relay. The remaining black wire on the harness coming from the R/R is grounded directly to the battery. Rollin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, R. If it's a 6th gen like in your avatar, here's a photo of it installed - note the green ground to the R/R mounting bolt, the relay and the purple wire. Those come with the kit.
