my bike has been sitting for a couple of months b/c of cold weather. today was a nicer day so i decide to take it for a ride. when i tried to start the bike the fan came on and my gauge cluster was going crazy. i get the old flashlight out and look around to see at least 3 different spots where a mouse/rat ate my wire. i was thinking of patching what damaged wire i can see but the little basted chewed the wire down to the plastic plug leaving nothing to splice into and there could be damage i cant see at the moment.i have found a whole wiring harness for $50.

so the question is how hard of a job is this?

 

what bike? year? Normally shouldn't be too hard once you pull the fuel tank and have access to everything. Probably pull the air box too as well.

 

the bike is a 2004 600rr. never pulled a fuel tank before, i will do some searching.

 

i would just rewire that one section. doing a whole harness just for that is alot of work...

 

the varmint ate 3 different sections that i can see.

 

It's simply a plug and play opperation... BUT it does require that you know how to use simple tools and do some fairly extensive dis-assembly and Assembly work.

 

alright thats a different story. well your gonna be pulling your airbox, gastank, all your front plastics.

 

if you know basic wiring work it shouldn't be to hard. Just make sure to heatshrink all connections once you are done patching it up.

 

ok guys i will be doing this project in a couple of weeks since i have time on my side. i will try to post an update when the time comes.

 

I would do the whole thing because you only see those 3 spots but later on down the line, there may be some you missed and you will be diagnosing an electrical problem, which are the worst.
