Cable ties

Post by paulro »

I have had problems starting, fuel pump not running so today I thought I would check fuses and relays. All ok.
So I tried to start the bike, no fuel pump whine and no start.
I turned the bars to the right and suddenly the pump whines and the bike, a 2004 model starts first time. I try to ride and it cuts out with the bars turned left and no pump whine?
I turn left and ride for a while until a sharp left turn and as I turn the bike cuts out!
Seems to be the wires.
Where do I cut? and then do I take the tape off and search for a broken wire? What do you use to tie the wires up when the cable ties have been cut?

Locate where the zip ties are binding the wire bundle under the front of the gas tank area, under the triple tree. Clip the zip tie, and very carefully cut the plastic sheath laterally in that same area. Inspect each wire and you will find one that has been chewed through. Good luck.
