Hey dudes;

My wiring from the rectifier in this engine is a grubby, frayed, electrical taped mess. On top of which I really don't like this plugging in 2/3 wires setup. Any recommendations on where I could get a quality non OEM replacement that would come with a new pigtail? The presence of electrical tape really bothers me as well, it screams asshat hack job and looks like something I'd do which is not good, haha. I wouldn't mind replacing the starter as well. Thanks

btw- I know I'm somewhat of an asshat and I'm going on day 4, somewhere around 25 hours, but I know longer believe this is an afternoons worth of work for anyone, no matter how badass you and your tool collection are.

Also: anyone with FCR's and POD filters, could you please snap some photos of your setup for me? I've already chopped up my airbox out of frustration and abandoned any hope of making it fit otherwise. So PODs it is. I don't think I mind...they look awesome

All I did was swap the engine and now my chain is practically sagging to the floor. Someone please tell me the 2 engine's sprockets are spaced differently so I know I didn't do something drastically wrong. The only adjustment of the swingarm I did was to remove the big main pin and pull it back, then reattach.

thanks for always answering my dumb questions...:P

Find a good electrical supply and get some Molex connectors. I used them when I did my dash and I love them. For waterproofing you can always pack them with dielectric grease.

these will give you some length above the carb and mount the pods nicely.

Hey Brad;

is there an advantage to using these over the blue ones?

I forgot you have to hold the damn Android landscape fashion, but you get the idea. I hope my mic picked up the sound properly. Don't mind the zip tied oil cooler and car battery  :-\



would have been a disaster if I'd attempted it alone, thanks to my old friend Tom H. Saved my ass multiple times throughout the years.

Please don't use molex connectors. They aren't even a little bit sealed and will combust in surprisingly short order. Get proper sealed connectors (metripack are wonderful) and use the correct tool. Google eastern beaver. He has all the gear you need.
