Default horn switch housing removal?

if i remove the horn / hi bean switch housing, on the clutch side clip on, what do i do at the wire harness?
i use the 01 f4i for track only, so i have no horn or lights. if i remove the switch housing will i need to jumper the wires at the wire harness block? Looks like i would only need to jumper the clutch switch?

You might not have to do anything. the clutch switch may be an "open" switch, not a "closed" one. What that means is if you unplug it, its just like pulling in the clutch by creating the open loop. When the clutch is not pulled in, its in the closed loop. If it is a closed switch, you could simply jump the wires.

But, it all depends on what type of switch it is. The best way to find out is just unplug it and see if the bike will still start. If it does, you have an open type switch and you don't have to do anything to it.
