930 viewsRemove the OEM cables. This is the cable from the starter relay to the starter. Mine was in really good condition for having over 16,000 miles on it. Even the starter post under the cable boot was clean!

953 viewsNow, the regular install guide for the SC has you "cap off" the OEM cable. I decided to get rid of the OEM cable so I removed it from the harness. Here is the insulation removed from the OEM battery mount. I cut the big, black starter cable about 1/2" from the crimp and then re-wrapped the whole thing with the supplied heat shrink. This gave me a completely separate starter cable from the other electrical wiring.

948 viewsThis shows the end product. The brown line is the new Motolectric ground cable that pretty much follows the OEM path. The red line is the new Motolectric power cable for the starter circuit. I routed the new Motolectric cable along the OEM path along the upper frame.

Completed!531 viewsMost people would be hard-pressed to notice the visual difference as I tried to keep the cabling routed along the OEM path. Mia ragazza does start quickly after riding her. Even on cold mornings with the lithium Shorai she cranks more quickly, not that slow chugging one gets with a lead-acid battery.
