Project help: Custom lights and tach for track

Hello all,

Further stripping down of my SV for track only. I am going to build a custom bracket for tach, oil, temp, fuel and nuetral lights. Everything else goes away.

Wondering if the ignition is routed through the head chip for rev-limiting, and what other issues may come up. I can probably get the oil, temp and neutral lights going without too much work. I see some diodes in the schematic - will figure that out. The fuel gauge may be a 3 wire situation - I don't know.

Anyone tackle this already? Any hints?

Thanks,
Denis

The haynes manual has a full wiring diagram. As far as I'm aware the instrument pod is purely for display and does not actively affect the bike. It should run without it (I may be wrong on this).

The rev limiter is built into the ignition control unit.

Ive run my bike on track without any thing past the front part of the loom, it ran totaly fine. Only things that it still had was all the switch gear connected.

Right, right. I ran it withhout head chip (everything pulled off of front except hand control connectors). The rev limiter worked fine. Temp, nuetral, oil lights are easy. The low fuel light runs through the head chip PC board - I probably will not bother with a work-around on that. Tach and idiot lights going into the section that used to hold speedo. The old tach section is sawed off now. The problem was that the tach was vunerable in a get-off. Also I drilled and threaded for 6mm steering limit adjuster bolts into the lower triple clamp.

Thanks for replies / help.
