| 14. | See Figure 5. Route the harness past the steering head, and route the lamp switch (3) leg of the harness along the left side of the handlebar to the clutch control. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 15. | See Figure 11. Remove the boot from the lamp switch and install the switch into the mounting bracket (19). Replace the boot on the switch. NOTE If the boot becomes worn or damaged, or is lost, replace the boot to prevent moisture from entering the switch (item 11, Figure 11 ). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 16. | See Figure 8. Remove the lower screw (1) and washer from the clutch control clamp, and install the lamp switch and bracket assembly (2). Install the screw and washer and tighten to 7–9 N·m (60–80 in-lbs). International Applications: Place the fog lamp switch label (3) on the clutch control clamp. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 17. | See Figure 11. Secure the lamp switch leg of the harness to the handlebar using the wire harness retainers (Item 18) as needed. Snap the retainers into the holes in the handlebar. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 18. | See the service manual and remove the headlamp assembly. NOTE When wired as follows, the auxiliary lamps can only be operated while the main headlamp is on low beam. This conforms to many state and local laws. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 19. | See Figure 9. Route the unterminated wire (1) from the switch through the grommet into the headlight housing. Splice it to the yellow (low beam) wire (2) using the Scotchlok® electrical connector (Item 14, Figure 11 ) from the kit. NOTE To route the wire through the grommet, push a hooked piece of wire through the grommet from the inside of the headlamp housing. Soap the toggle switch wire and pull it back through the grommet with the hooked wire. In some applications the wire from the kit harness may not fit through the headlight housing grommet. If this is the case, splice the black wire to the yellow wire outside the headlight housing, then tape the connector to shield it from moisture. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
