Title: Rewiring 03 LS650
Post by fueled.punks on 12/11/17 at 09:24:22

Good morning,

I am mid build on my savage bobber and once I complete the hardtail addition this week, I will begin the wiring part. I am moving the battery to a different location. While I'm this deep into it.. Are there any parts of the wiring harness that I do not need?? There is so much and makes everything look cluttered.

Are you retaining the compression release? If not that can go. What about the "safety" interlocks? They too can go.

Other then those, I'd say everything else is a necessity.

The compression release is the solenoid up front below the gas tank right?

Then you can drop kick the decomp controller too.

Fueled.punks do you need a bobber diagram ?

That sounds fantastic!

Fueled punks, If you have to ask where the solenoid is ,I'm thinking you might have trouble formalizing your wiring ,I'd be sure to have a Clymers book or a copy of the original wiring diagram and a volt/ohm meter for testing circuits if your bypassing anything .You may find some info in the Technical Section.

I've labeled and removed the entire wiring harness since making this post. Found several wiring diagrams used for bobbers as well as one from Ruttly. I will likely just put everything back where it was until I have a better understanding of it. I've got some knowledge of electrical but all my work experience is in fabricating and mechanical. I used to build race cars years ago so motorcycles are pretty new to me. Wish me luck.
I would post pictures of my progress so far if I could. I'm brand new on this site. It only seems to let me take a picture.

Speaking of compression release, has anyone hooked up a manual control?

Some have used a small lever with a cable , I have the RYCA thumb lever.

Ryca sells a hand lever(you need to bypass the clutch safety switch and be in neutral , they also have a foot operated level for the café bike ) .Others ,like Dave have used a small lever (bicycle ?) mounted in front of the clutch lever, with a short cable run to the decomp shaft.

I removed everything and installed a 2" long bolt, so all I need to do is push it with my thumb to open the valves. Simple and it works.
It is almost unnoticeable.

If you go to the RYCA web page and search....or go to YouTube, you will find videos and written instructions for bypassing and removing the solenoid, kick stand switch, etc.

Could you post a picture of what you did?

For what its worth...I have a manual compression release on my bike. I've never had to use it.

As long as you have a good battery, you don't ride in really cold weather, and you don't have a Wiseco piston - you may be able to do without any compression release.
