Please follow these simple steps during installation to eliminate any potential for problems with your sensor
assembly. The key to absolute reliability is to properly secure the two ends of the wire assembly as follows.

Why is the sensor wire installation
more critical than the installation of
the other wires on a bike?

The sensor wires move up and
down with every bump, while all
the other wires simply hang around
under the gas tank. Therefore a
few precautions have to be taken
to reduce the amount of movement
by the wires and to eliminate any
chance of trouble.

Zip-ties
They can cut any wires if tightly
pulled, PARTICULARLY those
which are moving around a lot. If
you use any be sure NOT to gorilla
them down.

Connectors
A few riders have reported some
loosening during a ride, probably
caused by allowing them to flop
around. If you do have any prob-
lems with this then wrap some tape
around them before a ride.

Wires rubbing
We haven't seen any problems
with this. The outer jacket on the
wires is a special abrasive-
resistant material, but still keep an
eye out for rub marks. We use yel-
low insulation on the inner wires so
bare spots in the jacket will be
easy to spot.

DO NOT branch off from the top of the brake hose
as shown at the right. The wireand connectors
gets bounced around every time you hit a bump,

gets bounced around every time you hit a bump,
probably thousands of times each ride.
ALWAYS run the wire up to the beginning of the bend at the top, tape the wire there, then loop the wire around
the hose as shown. This allows the wire to float while the hose is flexing. Tape at the master cylinder, then contin-
ue up the crossbar or handlebar as shown. Use the Velcro straps to secure the connectors.
