Not sure where to post this so you guys can move it if you feel like it...

Just a little trick for those of us that have moved our warning lights from the dash to the tank area...If you ahve done this you will notice that the light "tubes" are just a tad too long for the lights to sit flush..not enough to notice if you don't point them out? But still drives me crazy...sooo...I grabbed a warning light wiring loom from a LTZ and used that instead of the stock LTR one...you can see in the picture below that the "tubes" take a 90 and fit real nice between the fuel tank and the new location of the lights...

My lights now sit nice and flush... Finally I can sleep at night... :lol: :lol: :lol:

The wiring plug is identical so the new loom snaps right in...the wiring is different colors so I wrote them down below for any who want to try this...

LTR450 wiring loom
Fuel light = blk/yel
Neutral light = blk/blu
FI/Wht = blk/red

LTZ400 wiring loom
Fuel light = blu/red
Neutral light = blu/blk
FI/Wht = blu/wht

You are my savior. 2 of mine are flush, but not the 3rd...Not even close. Add it to the list.

Why are we even keeping the light on? I took them off the day I got the bike home in March.

This is the kind of random info we need for the "important info" forum The little tricks like this are what brings most people back for more

A+ for the day Junkie

 

[kidsdad0101]

Good more ANAL stuff from Junkie. What ARE you trying to say man?

 

[YFZ450 Blaster Racer]

Thanks for the info, i've been leaving off my bar pad because i didn't know if the lights would get pushed around.

 

[billjab]

if i had any from the z i would do that....but really my lights all lopsided by my gas tank annoys me even tho u can barley tell

 

[Kracker]

Done deal. Thanks Junkie!

I was able to use original boots but those are probably easier to manage.

Does anyone know if you can get the light loom for the LTZ from the dealer? or do you have to get it used somewhere?

 

[SandJunkie]

Funny you should ask...I happen to have an extra one...

 

[ltrkyle489]

can you all post pics. of where you relocated your indicator lights. and what you used to get the hole that size. Like what size drill bit if that is what you used.

 

[SandJunkie]

Here ya go...

The holes are more egg shaped...if you pull your light cluster you will see the cut out better. Most of us used a Dremel tool with a small cutting tip and then the larger polishing tip to finish it out. I would suggest getting one before you attempt this...

Hope this helps...

Oh yea...It also helps is you have someone that has a LTZ/KFX 400 and you do a light modification to theirs at the same time...

You really need the LTR harness for that conversion...so the both of you could swap and it would be a beautiful thing....

And thats how I got the harness...and now you know...

 

[onesavage]

Junkie if you still have it. I will swap with you.

 

[SandJunkie]

Maybe I do...and maybe I do not... :lol:

 

[onesavage]

Hey smarty pants i know where you live

Isn't that the one I was supposed to pick up when I was down there

Maybe I will wait till I get there and we can do the light mod,stem, and handle bars all in a couple hours before we head out to the dunes :scoot:
