Sometimes a bit tricky to see how plugs come apart until you've done a few Mine is one of those WTF does this even fit super skinny allen keys ground to a long chisel tip. I found that it works better than wire because it's stiff and won't easily bend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vk327 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 highly recommend these if your ordering connectors from ballenger motorsports get a couple, they work well for depinning most connectors https://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/product_info.php/cPath/111_113/products_id/366 the key ring ones work well too just wear out quickly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Found this site, it's a little clunky but pricing seems good.

Adoom Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 If anyone has links to part numbers for common OEM connector terminals, that would be super handy. I know you can get them from places like RS components, but it's often hard to identify them from the one image they show you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Gruntfuttock Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Yeah I've got some Kawasaki switchgear I'd like to put on the Hardly. Be nice to be able to wire in corresponding bits so it's plug & play... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoom Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Actually, this looks promising. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002602810952.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.257d6ddekfRGNd&algo_pvid=d840d349-13ad-42b0-a9bb-c5aa26c06c47&algo_exp_id=d840d349-13ad-42b0-a9bb-c5aa26c06c47-11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
