Converting the Inazuma 1200 to an Oil-cooled Katana (GSX1200S)

Now I’m carefully swapping out the meter harness.

Since it’s the weekend, progress is a bit slow (*^-^*)

Well, the connector positions are completely different. I wonder why…

Some connectors were burned, deformed by heat, and the sockets were extremely tight and wouldn’t come out.
I thought about replacing them, but it turns out new ones aren’t available… ( ;∀;)

I cut away the dirty parts with a utility knife and filed down the raised spots a bit. Now it looks just right.

Some nasty solder came out, and I figured out the mystery of the speed warning light too—very reassuring.

I wrapped the harness with mesh tubing and secured it with 3M tape.
It looks a bit like a foreign bike now—pretty cool.

Suzuki from this era used
Sumitomo Electric 090-type MT series 13-pole F connector only (terminals sold separately)/13P090-MT-F-tr
connectors. It’s really helpful that they’re easy to source nowadays.

This connector is normally fixed, but there’s a chance it could contact the bracket, so I’m leaving it loose.

And that’s the meter wiring all done!
Pretty much just fine-tuning left now… probably.
