ive replaced a few looms you will get angry you will curse a lot but if you take your time and think it takes an hour with the horn cast off and tank out below the tank right at the bottom is a plastic plate take that off all wires that go to the rear lights tank engine and so on tape up roughly to the main loom not all as a clump they are different lenghts so tape them at there lengh keeping it all pulled tight so no snags feed from the front to the rear only place it sticks is at neck going from leg sheld to foot brake so take out the foot brake you can just get your fingers in enough to help adjust any snags free and when it snags twist the loom but always twist it back. dont tape up the foot brake wires and dont tape up the rear indicator wires both pairs of these are easy to retreve as long as you leave them free. take pics of loom at rear engine side and rectifier side so you have a reference for re connection tank wires and rear light are different lenghs so you cant get them wrong plus everything comes out of the main loom in fitting order. non battery is a dam sight easier as less wires to feed but battery just be patient and dont be afraid to tackle it.

I've just pulled a new beedspeed loom on my Sportique and it proved to be a right ballache, it only just about reaches everywhere, there's no slack left. I had to take the headset off to get better access, then all the cable outers had cracked with age and split. Clutch, gear, throttle, front brake and speedo all split Had to pull all new cables through the frame as well as the loom Rear conduit that holds the rear cables in was so tight, it took about 20 goes with some old 1mm twin and earth stripped back feeding backwards and forwards I think it's taken about 4 hours so far and nothings connected away yet, beedys sent the wrong speedo cable so I'm waiting on that I've skinned all my knuckles in the process good luck  |
