bike in question is a 07 gsxr600. i want to take off the left side switch(es) that control the turn signals, horn, brite lights. but, this also has a little conector that plugs into the clutch perch that safty thing where you have to pull in the clutch to start the bike. how do you disable that thing? and how do you disconnect that main supply underneath? cant seem to get my gadamm hands in there. thanks in advance for the help bruthas
There should be a plug at the end of the harness under the tank, you'll have to lift the tank up. Be careful before you unhook the clutch switch, there was talk of some models not making full power with the switch bypassed. It put the ECU into a different map or something. I'm not saying that's the case, but I'd look into it further if I was doing it.
i know what "bypassing" means, but not sure how to put it to use in this case? when i unplug the connection at the clutch perch and pull in the clutch lever to start the bike it wont start. thats where im at as of now
With the SV you can simply undo the screw that pinches the wiring harness inside the left control pod and then pull the two clutch switch wires out. Then you can run those from the clutch to the wiring harness just like factory, sans the left pod.
Holy crap, that's pretty nice of them. I was gonna say jump the clutch wires using a scrotch-lock connector at the connector side of the bike... But I guess that is a bad idea seeing this info now.
Why don't you add an on/off switch. Turn the switch on to start the bike ("pulled clutch") then flip the switch back off to ride.
I CALL BULLSHIT! Oy vey the 06-07 gsxr 600-750 falls compltely on it's face with the clutch jumped and the 1000 looses 100 rps dos that make any kind of sense you? no it doesnt, i've had the switch jumpd on all 3 f my last race bikes 01 600 04 600 and 05 1000 no hp loss and no loss of 100 rpms even if it did so what. OMG this shit kills me.
started the same adventure yesterday. heres my solution and its my own opinion so but worked for me. i took the switch off, unscrewed the housing pulled the 2 saftey wires, pulled all the other wires out of the yellow plug, plugged it back up with just the 2 saftey/clutch wires hooked up. works wonderful. see if that would work for you also.
Take them all off but leave the clutch wire attached in the plug.. You can easily pull all of the other wires from the plug. The Plug is just on top of the Radiator so you dont need to remove the tank...
Yup. Pull 2 wires out of the harness plug up to the clutch switch. Only difference between these two runs is jumping the clutch switch.
remove all wire from the yellow connector(under the tank...only need a small screwdriver to pull the clip of the wire in the yellow connector) except the 2 for the clutch switch. I have done it on my 04 600 and on my friend 07 750.
and you would be 100% WRONG!!! I proved it two years ago on a dyno at Speedwerks as they told be the same thing you posted. So we did back to back runs, with and without the switch installed. Lost over 10HP when disconnected.
