Step 11: Now remove the old fuel pump connector by cutting the connector off. Crimp on new spade connectors onto the fuel pump wires. Positive is red and ground is black. The positive and negative is marked on the fuel pump. Reconnect the fuel pump wires and reassemble the unit. (Gasoline is dielectric, just means it doesn't conduct electricity) Just reverse the instructions for separating the fuel pump from the unit to reassemble.

Step 17: Reinstall the battery. Power on the ignition and set the run switch to run to pressurize the fuel system. DO NOT START THE BIKE. Check for leaks and if no leaks are found start the bike. Let the bike run for a few minutes while checking for leaks again. Once no leaks are found, shut off the bike.

Step 18: lower the tank and reinstall the front tank retaining bolt, reinstall the fuel tank trim pieces and reinstall the seat. All done.

Hope this was helpful, happy holidays and ride safe.
