Nah, cutting wires is OK Jim, splicing them in a new and exciting order is what can be bad....

Brian

Well, for goodness sake, please hold off on cutting wires until you hear from someone who actually knows the wire in question....!

My FOB/KIPASS is still running fine, thank Goodness.

However, fearing the problem, i don't want to stuck somewhere on the road so i m thinking if preparing the bypass.  The problem is when i un-plugged that grey connector, nothing happened, plugged the grey connector back in, nothing happened (LCD stayed off), KIPASS working fine with FOB in my pocket.  Cut the green wire, KIPASS doesn't work, short-connected the green wire, nothing happened (LCD stayed off), KIPASS working fine.

I think i would try cutting the white/black wire later.

Any advise is very welcome

How is your paranoia these days?  I really wouldn't worry about it and cutting wires willy nilly on this bike is not a good idea.  If you are worried about it that much then buy the harness from Brian.  Stop worrying and ride.

This is a far cry from the days of Fred H. posting pictures and writing a detailed technical analysis -- I wonder where he went to? (tongue in cheek....)
