Hi guys,
I am in the middle of dropping a CBR600 F3 engine into a 2000 Gold racing kart. I got the engine with the radiator, the fan, the starter, all of the connected sensors, the wiring harness and the CDI box. My question is: What are the bare essentials that need to be attached to the wiring harness for the engine to be able to run? I will probably end up buying a gauge cluster for the tach and coolant temp gauges anyways.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks
Cal

 

petrol... oil... coolant.... battery... could do with brakes (not required)

 

Thanks for the reply. I already covered the gas, oil, coolant, battery, and brakes. My main question is what can be taken off of the wiring harness without making the engine not run? Like taking off turn signals, headlight assembly, etc..

Thanks
Cal

 

Not trying to be a smart a**, but my guess would be anything that isn't related to the motor could be taken off. I'm new to bikes myself though, so don't listen to me.

 

Ok sounds good, It just looks like I need to find the side stand switch wires and solder them together to complete the circuit, and also probably do something with the wires for the handlebar-mounted kill switch. Anyone else catch anything that I might be missing?

Thanks
Cal

 

delete the kill switch.

the biggest thing i'm concerned about is the DAI for when i cut up my harness. not sure how that's gonna work

 

What is the DAI? Sorry, I am new to these bikes.

 

direct air injection. something like above 12mph it opens up the ram air thing and charges the air box? i'm not exactly positive but it's something like that. one of the pros here can tell you more. i'm hoping deleting that won't kill power higher in the rev range.

 

Sorry to resurrect, but I just got the kart chassis back and I refocused on the engine. How would I delete the kill switch? I see that there are three wires running from the connector that it plugs into. Coming from dirt bikes that have two leads to the kill switch, this is just a little bit over my head.

Any help appreciated,
Cal

 

Difficult to delete the kill switch, it's part of the ignition circuit and the starter circuit goes through it too, why noy mount it somewhere? It's a nice safety feature. You need the airbox and a fuel pump for the f3 to run right. Look at the aftermarket fuel pump thread, and the ram air solenoid removal. Don't change or drill holes in the airbox, it'll run like crap
