How to butcher a 1993 K1100RS

Next?

So, next with the harness, do you come in and peal off the wrappings and expose the individual wires? Then you can see what the colors/codes are on the hacked ones and compare to the diagram, I assume. Probably a security system?

The following posts represent the deconstruction of the fuel injection wiring harness.

Some of the pics will have notes. All of the pics are intended to help me remember of what it looked like. After I make this post I'll take it off the board and set it aside for now. I'll leave all the zip ties holding the wires together to keep each cluster together for now.

Then I'll start on the main harness.

I did this to avoid cutting any wires while removing the covering.

As far as I can tell, the joining of the green/white wires and the yellow/brown wires must have been done this way due to assemble needs, not function needs.

I have a couple of observations.

One: If stupid is as stupid dose then I'm fairly stupid.

Two: Anything that hurts that bad should look worse.

Three: 18 year old electrical tape feels like baby snot mixed with contact cement.

Four: #11 Exacto blades rammed under thumb nails when Stupid forgot about not cutting towards one's self SUX!

Main wiring harness mounted on the board. Due to the large number of connections, I'm going to identify and tag each one before
cutting it open.

At least it can't hurt, might help and looks good on paper.


I keep thinking this is one of those times where you might hear, "Hold my beer and watch this".
 
Please continue to post your progress with pics as your time permits. Your approach is very pragmatic, and would seem to ensure that mistakes will be minimized. All I can say is ---> :bow
