It is FI, so that is one of the reasons why im leaning more and more to a replacement harness(s). What is this soldering on the stator you speak of? I've already cut the melted mass of plastic out from what used to be the plug for R/R and did replace with mosfet unit, and last season I did replace the stator but the plugs where all in good shape.

ah you're halfway there in regards to the charging system upgrades..
apparently they have been soldering the eyes where the R/R wires connect to the stator for better functionality, sure t has something to do with flow but an electrician I am not..
yea man mosfet and new plugs you're off to the races, just make sure you pack EVERY connections with di-electric grease should be good to go, fact is you can do that now if you haven’t already for some stability..
sure helped my 600 out a lot, fact is that’s all I did really cept I threw on an r/R form a later gen 1k 07 or something, plugged right in now it works as SHOULD, no flickering and the lights get brighter when I rev no dimmer.. lol
yea man the thing about a used harness is you maybe chasing down someone else's gremlins for who knows how long?
I think a new harness/mosfet and rebuilt ninja carbs are about the best upgrades you can do to the 600 to hear and feel real performance improvement ASAP. just let him know the altitude and what not I think he can ball park them good as anyone never know maybe even spot on?
I think its a good move if you can afford it, say did you try ronayers.com?
they want around $500.oo for the complete set (main/headlight)
I bet they don;t sell a lot of those and maybe if you opened up a dialog with them somehow and ask when they have their 20% off electrical sales maybe you can get them down on the price some?
also here is another thought, maybe make your own bigger and BETTER loom, ragekiller made his and he used better plugs and what not, obviously some places you will have to use the Suzuki connectors like where they plug into the ECU and other sensors whatever but theres a lot of places like the cruel yellow plug you can use a BETTER connector, combine that with better wiring better shielding and you can come up with something real nice..
my guess is after tools (there are some special tools but not many) wiring and connectors you can build the harness easily for half the price a new one then it can be better, so many easy to improve that setup its not even funny from material to routing to schematic..
I've been told that the quality of Suzuki connectors have been the heel during this era and others for almost all models, part of the problem is those connectors don't get good enough contact so they tend to arc, that's why the di-electric grease is recommended but even then the grease can't make a good solid connection like a quality watertight connector can..
lemme know if you are going to make one I need two maybe we can split cost and labor, engineering?
ask me the harness's are so sketchy that in order to hunt down a gremlin or short you have to strap a rider on with a tester and hit the canyons, yup that sketchy, so better off making a good one where you know you can eliminate wiring for good, mind you if I am to be involved in the process don't look for a speed ball deal, unless you want to buy the tools then sell them to me at a discount, i could go for that, plus we can get the connectors and wiring at a bulk rate so there's that too, just buy the bulk then sell me the remainder something like that?
also talk to ragekiller he made one recently and his bike is the bee's knee's so we know it works... :chucks
