I'm in the middle of converting my '03 749S from street to track duty and I have a few minor - albeit important - questions.
Yes, I've used the search function but can't seem to find what I'm looking for...
1) My race bodywork does away with the kickstand. This means the bike won't run when it's in gear. Is there are shortcut around this (i.e. switch emulator or jumper wire I can make) or would I be better served buying a bypass from a vendor?
2) The fuse block on the headlight housing - which fuses should I pull? I have a bracket to replace the headlight housing, but I still want to pull the fuses to avoid any potential issues.
3) Because I've removed the headlight housing I have come across two things inside that I'm not sure what to do with. The first is the air temp sensor ... anyone have a recommendation as to where to mount this? How sensitive is it to placement? Also, there is what I believe to be a relay block inside the headlight housing - it's fastened to the bucket just below the air temp sensor - what the hell is this thing and do I need to plug it in?
I think that's about it for the questions. Thanks in advance for the guidance.
Once the bike is fully dressed I'll post some pics of the color scheme ... it's painted to match my new leathers.
