Hi could anybody tell me how you short the check connector with a wire as i can't quite get my head around this and the bikes in bits.
I have the write up mate but the picture just shows the wire going into the plug under the battery which i have found but not where the other end of the wire goes. It says it is shorted with a jumper wire which i don't understand.
you're using SwissT's notes right? http://1000rr.co.uk/maintenance/16292.htm If you have found the jumper (under the battery, it's the only red connector there) remove the cap, you will see two terminals. You just need to short the two terminals with a piece of wire. Just ensure it is a good tight fit i.e. it doesn't come loose if during the bleed. Good Luck!
