Hello,
Here I go, even deeper into the rabbit hole of disability mods...
I installed a Klicktronic push button shifter, last year, to compensate for my left foot's failure to function properly. Now my left hand is following my left foot, becoming weaker and stupider, and I am particularly struggling in parking lot, low-speed situations. My clutch hand gets tired really fast, and when this happens I can't park the bike because I can't feather the clutch. So to compensate for that, I installed an EFM Auto Clutch. The EFM Auto Clutch completely solves my first gear troubles. But it requires clutchless shifting in the higher gears. I was perfectly well able to do that when my foot worked - you pre-load the shifter, then drop the revs a little and it snicks into place. But you can't do that with the Klicktronic; there's no preloading the shifter, you either shift or you don't!
So Klicktronic sells an accessory to go with their shifter, that is an ignition interrupt. It interrupts the ignition when you push the shifter button, and this allows the gears to shift without the clutch. You can fine tune it to get just the right timing on the ignition interruption.
But first I need to install the darn thing. The way it works, is that you splice it into the positive supply wire for the coils, and that's where it does its interrupting thing.
I don't ever like to just cut into the wiring harness to splice aftermarket stuff into it. Instead, I like to buy the proper connectors to match the existing stuff in the bike, and then I build a little jumper that plugs into a stock connector in the wiring harness. That way if I don't like that accessory, or I decide to change it around later, I can go back to stock and not have a bunch of extra splices in my wiring harness, just waiting to corrode and fail.
This means I need to identify the connectors that go to the coils. I have extracted a coil from my bike and it is sitting here on my desk, and I am trying to identify a connector that I could buy, which would plug into it. I have been looking at pictures online and I think it might be a Delphi GT 150. But I am afraid I'll order some and wait a week, only to discover they don't fit and I have to go find something else.
Does anyone here know for sure what these connectors are? Any recommended suppliers?
Thanks!
And before someone tells me to trade the Super10 in on a Honda VFR1200X DCT, I'll say, sure, that would be very sensible. And fun too; who doesn't enjoy a new bike? And I love the look of that Honda! But my sunk costs in the Super10 are already extremely high. Starting over with a Honda would cost as much as two Hondas. And I actually do like the Super10, so I'm not ready to start over.
