4. Installation Instructions

The TIGERSGATE Handlebar Wire Extension Harness Kit features a plug-and-play design for straightforward installation. These wires are designed to be inserted between the factory wiring harness and the factory plug at the base of the handlebars.

Installation Steps:

1. Preparation: Before beginning, it is highly recommended to take a clear photo of the color-coded old wires and their connections within the connector. This photo will serve as a crucial reference during the reassembly process.
2. Remove Old Wires: Carefully remove the old wires from the connector using nipper pliers. Exercise caution to avoid damaging the connector or surrounding components.
3. Insert New Pins: Based on the photo you took in Step 1, carefully insert the new color-coded wire pins into the correct positions within the connector. Ensure each pin is fully seated and secure.
4. Connect Wires: Connect the old wires to the new extension wires. If additional length is required or for added protection, slide the provided heat shrink tubes over the connections.
5. Secure Connections: Apply heat to the heat shrink tubes (if used) until they shrink tightly around the connections, providing insulation and strain relief.

6. Troubleshooting

While the TIGERSGATE Handlebar Wire Extension Harness Kit is designed for reliable performance, here are some common issues and general troubleshooting tips:

• No Electrical Function After Installation:
  • Double-check all connections to ensure pins are fully seated and correctly matched according to your reference photo.
  • Verify that no wires are pinched or cut during the handlebar installation process.
  • Inspect the original factory connectors for any damage or corrosion.
• Loose Connections:
  • Ensure that the male and female pins are securely crimped to the wires and that they snap firmly into the connectors.
  • If heat shrink tubes were used, confirm they are properly shrunk and providing adequate strain relief.
• Difficulty Inserting Pins:
  • Ensure the pins are oriented correctly before attempting to insert them into the connector. Do not force pins, as this can damage them or the connector.
  • Verify that the correct size and type of pins are being used for your specific factory connector.
