Some jackwagon tried to hotwire my bike
06/21/16 at 15:52:45

So, yeah. They clipped the wires to the ignition switch and twisted them all together. The kill switch was still open. Jerks.

The bugger of it all is that I moved into a new apartment WITH locked garage space 2 days ago, but I couldn't park the bike there because of all the crap waiting to get moved upstairs.

Does anyone know the gauge of the 4 wires running to the switch? I'm getting ready to order connectors and a crimper while at work, don't have the bike in front of me.

I couldn't believe it either! Grin

I ordered a ratcheting crimper and some decent connectors. Hopefully I can get it sorted out by the weekend.

Just remember, you'll have to sit in that seat too.

Or maybe not.

That still required 2 trips to the auto parts store. One of the fuses blew.
