R1 Loom - What Do You...............
Need to remove from the main loom to splice into a car loom to run the engine?
Have seen companys charge £100 to do this, but it cant be that complex can it?

Erm, thanks, I think.
No doubt it will become clear with a loom infront of me.

All i removed from my R1 loom was the lighting as i have a separate loom for the lighting. Both looms function separately apart from wires from the
lighting loom connecting to the R1 loom to show main beam and indicators on the R1 clocks

LOL - great answer
Its not too bad at all really once you get into it. Having done the job myself with an R1 engine and doing all the lights, switches etc from scratch,
i'd say start of by attaching the loom to the engine and connecting up all the parts, sensors etc. Strip back the loom tape and then label up
all the coloured wires. This should then allow you to identify the bits you dont need easier so you can then remove them one by one.
Once you've stripped the loom back to the basics you need, you can then look to re-route the loom and extend / shorten the wires to suit the
routing around your engine bay. There's a few bits you need to bypass - side stand switch etc but its all in the guide posted - fairly obvious
really so long as you're methodical and work thorough a circuit at a time. Connecting the bike loom to your ignition switch should become pretty
obvious once you get into it.

Rob Collingridges site is great for this. First connect up the loom and deal with the side stand and clutch switches and the ignition wires,. Then
get it running  Once you know it runs you can take out wires one by one that aren't needed. Restart it after each few modifications. That way
if you do something wrong you'll know where the problem is... the last thing you did.
