lead to the inside of the clip.
C. Fasten the rectifier/regulator
lead and engine stop switch lead
(wire harness end).
D. Insert the projection on the en-
gine stop switch coupler into the
hole in the bracket.
E. Insert the projection on the recti-
fier/regulator coupler into the
hole in the bracket.
F. Position the ignition coil bracket
to the outside of the ignition coil,
and insert the bolts from the igni-
tion coil side.
G. Fasten the AC magneto lead to
the ignition coil bracket with a
plastic locking tie, making sure
to position the tie above the low-
er mounting portion of the brack-
et. Face the buckle of the plastic
locking tie forward, and then cut
off the excess end of the tie.
H. Route the ignition coil lead be-
tween the condenser and the ig-
nition coil.
I. Fit the clip portion of the clamp
into the ignition coil bracket and
fasten the clutch cable with the
locking portion of the clamp.
J. Route the clutch cable to the
outside of the AC magneto lead.
K. Route the throttle cables under
radiator hose 2, making sure not
to twist the cables.
L. Route the AC magneto lead to
the inside of the throttle cables
and clutch cable.
M. Install the ground lead terminal
between the ECU bracket and
the cable holder, making sure to
position the terminal between
the stoppers.
N. Push in the spark plug cap com-
pletely, making sure that there is
no gap between the cylinder
head cover and the cap.
O. Pass the high tension cord so
that it may not go right over the
cylinder head cover installing
bolt when viewed directly from
above.
P. Apply sealant to the slit and in-
ner surface of the grommet, and
then install the grommet at the
position shown.

23. CondenserA. Fasten the wire harness at the
positioning tape to the ECU
bracket with a plastic locking tie.
Face the buckle of the plastic
locking tie downward, and then
cut off the excess end of the tie.
B. Install the cover onto the wire
harness coupler.
C. Route the condenser lead, throt-
tle position sensor lead, coolant
temperature sensor lead, igni-
tion coil lead, and AC magneto
lead under radiator hose 2.
D. Connect the vacuum hose to the
atmospheric pressure sensor,
and then fasten the hose with
the clamp. Make sure to face the
moving part of the sensor rear-
ward.
E. After connecting the condenser
coupler, install the coupler cover
onto the coupler.
F. After connecting the throttle po-
sition sensor coupler, install the
coupler cover onto the coupler.
G. Fasten the AC magneto lead,
condenser lead, throttle position
sensor lead, coolant tempera-
ture sensor lead, and ignition
coil lead to the frame with the
plastic band, making sure to po-
sition the band between the igni-
tion coil bracket and the tension
pipe. Face the buckle of the
plastic band to the right with the
end pointing rearward.
H. Point the end of the vacuum
hose rearward.
I. Fit the bracket into the hole in
the rubber portion of the con-
denser.
J. Fasten the radiator breather
hose to the frame with the plas-
tic band, making sure to position
the band above the front engine
bracket. Face the buckle of the
plastic band outward with the
end pointing rearward.
K. After connecting the coolant
temperature sensor coupler, in-
stall the coupler cover onto the
coupler.L. Route the radiator breather hose
between the down tubes.

pump lead with the plastic band,
making sure to position the band
between the bend in the fuel
hose protector and the end of
the protector. Point the end of
the plastic band upward.
N. Insert the projection on the joint
coupler into the hole in the
bracket, and then install the cou-
pler cover onto the coupler.
O. Route the atmospheric pressure
sensor lead, intake air pressure
sensor lead, intake air tempera-
ture sensor lead, fuel injector
lead, and fuel pump lead above
radiator hose 2. Position the
joint coupler above radiator
hose 2.
