I bought a low-hour used US-market FS570 last year, and unfortunately a previous owner chose to do all sorts of modifications for some reason I can’t fathom…for example, removing the stock start/stop switch, and replacing it with an aftermarket start button with the kill switch wiring permanently jumped…because having a way to shut off the motorcycle is bad somehow???
In any case, looking at the parts fiche, it looks like the bike is supposed to have some sort of wiring loom separator/organizer mounted to the front of the top triple clamp, stacked under the gauge. It doesn’t look like I can buy one separately from getting an entire wiring harness kit, which is frustrating. Here’s what I’ve got behind the mask, with only the headlight/mask and the gauge removed…all the wires were just hanging loosely like they are in the photo. Some wires have damaged connectors and/or insulation that needs to be repaired, and I think the fact that none of it is constrained properly has something to do with that. I want to buy or fabricate a part to do this in proper factory style.
Can anyone confirm what this is supposed to look like? Photos of the stock part would be extremely helpful, and I would be very appreciative, thanks!
