I try to be patient so that saving 100 dollars doesn't end up costing me 500.

I saw a thread over the parallel universe forum about they always break where they are soldered to the grip or something, included how to fix it.

Bean, if you need heat for your garage, I have a 200K btu propane heater you can borrow. It sounds like a jet engine when it's wide open, and will drink a 20lb bottle pretty quick, but it will make your garage warm FAST.

If you for any reason feel uncomfortable, PM someone who has done this repair and ask them if they would talk to you on the phone and shoulder you through it.

I've helped folks out this way and I've gotten help myself by the same manner.

Your smallest flat bladed screwdriver down the back of the connector I'm think'n.

[rockinrog]

They were fastened onto the grip in the back... once popped off I could see the catch that needed released on the back

[beantop]

In this pick you can see the tab (green Circle), Wich will be on the back sde of the connectors...

first try to slide the whole connector assembly up or down to release it from the mounting tab (red cicle)


oops too late

[rockinrog]

Unfortunately the only thing visible is where I bitched the wire up with knife trying to get the rubber coating off

Rog, How's the Mitas E-07 holding out. Will we make it until spring before its time order tires?
I move my camper back to Central PA last weekend of March. I got a brand new Shinko on it now, but by June I will be needing tires.

Rog, before going any further, measure for batt voltage on the bike side of the connector.

use your ohmmeter and check for continuity on the grip side of the connector.

There might be an open that isn't visible.
