Just a heads up - I have the fairing off the left side of the bike and I found 2 wires loose near the indicator wires as they leave the harness One has a bullet socket and the other a bullet end.
I thought Kawa would not leave these two dangling loose and I must have pulled them apart when I removed the fairing - so stuck the bullet in the bullet socket. Turned the ignition on. THEN (too late) I got curious so I tried to meter a voltage on the two wires and find out what wasn't working when they were disconnected - nothing. Then from another forum I read that these are the supply return for accessories like GPS ! Ok so tested the 2 amp fuse under the seat - blown open circuit caused by me being dim and connecting the two wires. Replaced the fuse, kept the wires apart and tested with the ignition on - Full voltage !
One of the reasons I wanted the fairing off was to run a 12 volt wire to the front of the bike for toys like air temperature gauge and a beeper for the indicators (in my view a life saver and I have put one on all my bikes). Now I have a fused supply already there. It did look daft though just hanging there - disconnected.
I thought I would post this in case anyone is doing something similar - save you blowing the 2 amp accessory fuse
I will post a photo tomorrow
