Guest entropy Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I received my VFRness yesterday, and I put it in place last night. I have two issues: 1. there is no mention of what to do with the two OEM connectors or their associated wiring after install of the VFRness. What has everyone done? Removed all superfluous wiring? Taped over the connectors and left them in place? 2. because I have the superfluous wiring-and the VFRness wiring-i'm finding there is no room by the battery. Like, none. i'm going to have to spend some time figuring out how to adjust everything by the battery to get it to fit. what has everyone done for this issue? and thanks for listening. -mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer mk2davis Posted September 17, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2013 I just left the wiring in place, and didn't have any issues with the battery. Wish I could be more help. Maybe a pic would help us give some advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so there shouldn't be any connectors not connected...only the 3rd/4th gen have that situation (pictures shown above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 2003, yes. unless the darkness was obscuring my vision, there were unattached connectors (2 i believe). i'll check again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Conedodger Posted September 20, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted September 20, 2013 I installed the VFRness on my '04 this year. I don't remember any unused connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Got it. Got a jump...bike started...battery went down to 7.3 volts and stayed there....bike is still running. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I guess I made the erroneous assumption that once running the battery would charge quickly. I let the bike run for about 10 minutes, and the battery was up to 8.5 volts. the tail light was on but not full power; the headlights were not full power; the dashboard looked to be full power; the bike sounded okay. ...so just takes a long time to charge... I will go out for a battery charger tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I would buy a $20 battery charger and let it sit overnight instead of letting the bike try to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
