What is this connector?

So... I've tried looking over the wiring diagrams and i've tried google.. But I can't seem to find anything that matches this Connector.

Does anyone know what it goes to?

For the record I'm rebuilding an 02 bike frame with mostly newer parts. The harness is an 04+.

The engine starts, idles and revs, so it doesn't appear engine related.

The neutral sensor on 2004+ bikes has 2 extra wires to sense 1st and 2nd gears for the ICU.
That's them.
Did you do a motor swap?

OK. I see what you're doing.

You can leave it disconnected. However, since you have to change the timing rotor and pickup to go with the newer wiring harness, you might as well change out the neutral sensor some day when you work on that part of the motor. (Not mandatory.)

You will also find connections for the throttle position sensor and vacuum switch sensor and those don't need to be connected if you're using the 2002 carbs. The ignition unit will operate in a "dumb default" mode if the sensors are not there (or went bad.)

I happen to use 2006+ wiring harnesses on all my projects.

You probably already found you have to change out your handle bar controls due to a change in the connectors.
I now use Hyabusa left hand controls - they are pin compatible and have a PASS button. Right hand I use GS500 2006+ because the headlight is switched off when you press the start button.

Also I use the older, linger side stand. You don't need the shorter one for 2001+ frames unless you want to lean the bike a little more. The front part of the frames is the same. Only the tail changed from 89-2000.

Oh, and is your harness 2004-2005 or 2006+? It does make a difference on the left hand controls. Different connectors.

Yes, I did a motor swap. Its a 97 engine IIRC. It already has a new rotor and newer model carbs (courtesy of you.  :thumb: )

I had to look up my purchase history on eBay, its a 2006 harness. I'm using a 08 LH control and an 06 RH control.

The side stand is whatever it came with, which I will assume is stock since it looks like the longer one.

If its OK to leave it disconnected I'll just cover it with electrical tape.

Here's a pic from last weekend with the tank sitting on it to see what it will look like. (Didn't get much done tonight since I need to get the tools to cut the spacers for the sonic springs I got)

Gotta love adidasguy. he knows all things GS. btw your phone you posted with is it a galaxy s2 by chance? ( mine shows on my computer as an SPH-d710) sure its ok to leave as is, but id swap it out when you get the chance. ( or off season. besides it will give you the excuse to work on bike off season Eh?)

Yep, its a Galaxy S2, specifically the "Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch."

I love the the phone, other than the fact that lately it will only charge using the "official" Samsung cable, pretty much anything else causes it throw a fit. Oh, and the sprint network is complete and total crap.

I plan to get the s3 or s4 on Verizon when my contract is up. My GF has the S3 or VZW and hasn't had any issues anywhere.
