Safety Wire Recommendations

That can be important for things like brake caliper bolts. They "work" when loose, but will definitely stop working if they fall out. I was lucky and saw the bolt hit the ground exiting turn 9 at Summit Point and got a hand up and made pit out before anything really bad happened. This was at a track day that did not require wiring of brake caliper bolts. I know I was late with the exit signal, but I figured better to exit late than try to do a lap with no front brakes. Back story is I had a friend help me change the rain wheels back to dry. Due to both a lack of communication and lack of me checking the work, we left the right side caliper bolts loose. You can bet they get wired every time now and I check the work of anyone that helps me work on the bike. I am pretty positive I would have noticed the loose bolts when doing the wiring.

 

So I was RTFRB'ing in prep for my first race this weekend, and had a couple tech questions on safety wiring I may get flamed for. What exactly are these items referring to: speedo and tach cables; rear exhaust mounts (all)? How do I safety wire the speedo and tach cables on a K7 GSXR1000? Or does that only apply to vintage bikes? And for the rear exhaust mounts (all), is that saying that every fastener on the exhaust can hanger -- so the hanger to the subframe, and the hanger to the strap around the can -- have to be safety wired? Thanks.

 

Got it, thanks.
