Adding to this, if you find unused connectors for ie: removed smog injector, lighting accessories etc. fill with di-electric grease and shrink wrap it or cut and waterproof the wire end to prevent corrosion shorting.

Glad to see you mention pin fitment. Often overlooked

[@rileygoerzen]

Perfect timing as I replace my wiring harness for our November baja trip. Thanks for the video!

[@nickbee123456]

Amazing video as always. I’d love to see a how-to on removing and installing a harness.

[@cnosigamer]

Finally someone with harness video haha! Great video :)

[@davecoates7090]

Thank you for the effort to produce this video. I definitely needed the reminder.

[@spatchist]

Well, I learn something everytime you make a video. I had no idea that race teams replaced harnesses that often , I sort of assumed they built custom looms at best.

[@Papparratzi]

Well, they say timing is everything. In this case this video popping up is perfect timing. I just upgraded a new tube of dielectric marine grease and was going to go in and get everything prepped. I’ve added the AC F 50 to my shopping cart, so I’ll use that before hand. Thanks for the great tips.

[@scotttaggart]

Before watching I thought you were going to discuss the "breakage at the bend" near the steering tube and maybe how to mitigate that problem. Maybe a future addition?

[@TACOMOTOCO]

Yes good call That can be a stand alone video

[@americanaccents]

​@@TACOMOTOCOupvoting this one as well^^^

[@eriknash8783]

Nice video. I've been using dielectric grease on my connectors but looking forward to switching to this as it looks like it would be a cleaner solution. All my connectors that have dielectric grease applied are dust/dirt magnets

[@rogercrier9115]

ACF50 could be introduced to the entire loom by having the loom in a vacuum jar with ACF50 so it gets sucked right down the entire wire length for real zero corrosion potential

[@danielsimpson8929]

Fluid film. Ha! Because I use fluid film for more than 1 thing it's always on hand and well... it's dielectric and clings, and prevents corrosion. So all in one.

Hi Mike I used a lot of this electric grease very good for waterdamage ! You should not use it on the injector as it can interfere! Well done good video and making people aware what also helps is a fabric tape for the wire loom extra protection and its soft so it can expand in heat and shrink in the cold electrical tape will break eventually

[@darrenlegallais1974]

Finally…. I have a question for you!! I have a husky FE 350 and I want to make a new loom, but can’t find anywhere how to depin the ECU plug? It’s a good job I have decided to inspect, repair and renew my loom as I have found multiple breaks in either the wire or the outer cover. Thanks in advance

[@Outatime86]

Thank you! What electrical connector pullout tester are you using?

[@rdsrf]

How does cost of a new harness compare to labor cost to remove and go through a harness? I’m thinking if I went through the work of removing a harness from the bike I might as well replace it.

[@davidmerrell1163]

Good luck buying one, KTM does not even sell some of their harnesses.

[@chdebolt]

Why not use dielectric grease on ecu connector?

[@babar69110]

Because it is same misconception about dielectric grease. It doesn't help contact, it just isolates from water and humidity ( and just to a certain level) . So first use electronic contact cleaner, then, as he show, any product which helps and protect contact. Then dielectric grease ( or any which doesn't have graphite, copper or any conductive products) especially under non protected plugs sockets.

[@TACOMOTOCO]

Some will pack too much in and it creates compression pressure when trying to click in the connector A liquid film protectant is better for that application

[@alvisvanags47]

That wath you never need to do on japanese bikes 🤣🤣🤦‍♂️

[@TACOMOTOCO]

Not true
