Push conduit back to better access wires and avoid dam-
aging conduit with radiant heating device. Secure conduit
with extra 7.0 in (177.8 mm) cable strap in kit.

Strip 0.5 in (12.7 mm) of insulation off switch wires. Twist
stripped ends of switch wires until all strands are tightly
coiled.

Cut dual wall heat shrink tubing, supplied in repair kit into
1.0 in (25.4 mm) segments. Slide tubing over each wire
of

new

switch assembly.

Splice existing and

new

switch wires, matching wire colors.

Solder the spliced connections. For best results, splice
one wire at a time.

Center the heat shrink tubing over the soldered splices.

Be sure to follow manufacturer's instructions when using
the UltraTorch UT-100 or any other radiant heating device.
Failure to follow manufacturer's instructions can cause a
fire, which could result in death or serious injury. (00335a)

•

Avoid directing heat toward any fuel system component.
Extreme heat can cause fuel ignition/explosion resulting
in death or serious injury.

•

Avoid directing heat toward any electrical system com-
ponent other than the connectors on which heat shrink
work is being performed.

•

Always keep hands away from tool tip area and heat shrink
attachment.

See

Figure 6-135

. Use ULTRA TORCH UT-100 (Part

No. HD-39969) or ROBINAIR HEAT GUN (Part No. HD-
25070) with HEAT SHIELD ATTACHMENT (Part No. HD-
41183) or equivalent. Uniformly heat the heat shrink tubing
to insulate and seal the soldered connections. Apply heat
just until the meltable sealant exudes out both ends of
tubing and assumes a smooth cylindrical appearance.

Inspect solder connection.

Inspect the melted sealant for solder beads.

Excess solder or heat may force some solder out with
the melted sealant.

Remove any solder found.

Briefly heat the connection to reseal the tubing if
solder beads were removed.

Use less solder or reduce heating time or intensity
when doing subsequent splices.

Be sure that all lights and switches operate properly before
operating motorcycle. Low visibility of rider can result in
death or serious injury. (00316a)

REMOVAL

To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause
death or serious injury, remove main fuse before pro-
ceeding. (00251b)

Remove main fuse.

Do not remove or install the master cylinder assembly
without first positioning a 5/32-inch (4 mm) thick insert
between the brake lever and lever bracket. Removing or
installing the master cylinder assembly without the insert
in place may result in damage to the rubber boot and
plunger on the front stoplight switch. (00324a)

NOTE

Place a 5/32 in (4 mm) thick cardboard insert between the
brake lever and lever bracket. Without the insert, the rubber
boot and plunger of the front stop lamp switch can be damaged.

See

Figure 6-138

. Place the cardboard insert between the

brake lever and lever bracket.

Using a T27 TORX drive head, remove the two screws
with flat washers securing the handlebar clamp to the
master cylinder housing. Remove the brake lever/master
cylinder assembly and clamp from the handlebar.

Using a T25 TORX drive head, remove the upper and
lower switch housing screws.

Remove the friction shoe from the end of the tension
adjuster screw.

NOTE

The friction screw is a loose fit. It may fall out or become dis-
lodged if the lower switch housing is turned upside down or
shaken.

Remove the brass ferrules from the notches on the inboard
side of the throttle control grip. Remove the ferrules from
the cable end fittings.

Remove the throttle control grip from the end of the
handlebar.

If only one switch is faulty, replace the horn switch and high/low
beam switch as a single assembly.

See

Figure 6-139

. From inside the switch housing, remove

the screw with lockwasher (4) to release the bracket (5).
