CABLE ROUTING DIAGRAM
A. Insert the end of the fuel tank
breather hose into the hole in
the steering stem.
B. Fasten the throttle cable, hot
starter cable and rectifier/regula-
tor lead onto the frame. Locate
the clamp ends under the throt-
tle cable, and after clamping,
leave the other end as is and do
not cut it.
C. Fasten the diode (at the mark-
ing), throttle cable and hot start-
er cable onto the frame. Locate
the clamp end facing toward the
lower right of the frame and with
the tie end facing downward.
D. Fasten the wire harness, throttle
position sensor lead and clutch
cable onto the frame. Pass the
clamp through the hole in the
stay (air cut-off valve). Locate
the clamp end facing toward the
lower side of the frame and cut
off the tie end.
E. Pass the carburetor breather
hoses, carburetor overflow hose
and catch tank breather hose
between the connecting rod and
cross tube (frame).
F. Pass the neutral switch lead on
the inside of the engine bracket.
G. Fasten the neutral switch lead
and AC magneto lead onto the
frame. Locate the clamp end
facing toward the outside of the
frame and tie end facing toward
the rear of the frame.
H. Fasten the AC magneto lead
and neutral switch lead onto the
frame. Locate the clamp end
facing toward the rear of the
frame and cut off the tie end.
I. Pass the neutral switch lead and
AC magneto lead on the inside
of the wire harness.
J. Fasten the AC magneto lead
and neutral switch lead onto the
frame.
K. Pass the wire harness through
the cable guide.
L. Locate the couplers in the frame
recess.
M. Pass the carburetor breather
hoses, carburetor overflow hose
and catch tank breather hose so
that the hoses do not contact the
rear shock absorber.
N. Secure the coupler by pushing it
into the hole in the headlight
unit.
O. Fasten the throttle position sen-
sor lead and the hot starter ca-
ble.P. Locate the clamp between the
hot starter cable protector and
rubber cap.

pipe portion directs as shown
and lightly touches the projec-
tion on the brake caliper.
B. Pass the brake hose into the
brake hose holders.
C. If the brake hose contacts the
spring (rear shock absorber),
correct its twist.D. Install the brake hose so that its
pipe portion directs as shown
and lightly touches the projec-
tion on the brake master cylin-
der.

where they are joined to the
frame. Fasten the pipe tightly
enough not to crush it. Locate
the clamp end facing toward the
rear of the frame with the tie end
facing downward.

and taillight lead to the rear
frame. Locate the clamp end
facing toward the lower side of
the frame and cut off the tie end.
M. Fasten the taillight lead to the
rear frame. Locate the clamp
end facing toward the upper side
of the frame and cut off the tie
end.
N. Do not allow the taillight lead to
slacken.

tween the CDI unit and rear
fender.
P. Locate the CDI unit coupler in
the clearance between the up-
per side of the CDI unit and low-
er side of the catch tank stay.
Q. Locate the CDI unit lead be-
tween the CDI unit and rear
frame.
