Indemnification: Buyer hereby acknowledges motorcycle riding is a dangerous sport and that

the products and/or supplies purchased from Baja Designs are used in an inherently dangerous

activity that may endanger life and limb; and in no event shall the seller, or the seller’s heirs and

assigns, be held liable for consequential damages, nor shall the seller’s liability on any claim for

damages arising out of or connected with the sale, delivery, or use of purchased products and/or

supplies exceed the purchase price of the products and/or supplies.

Dual-Sport Kit: Installation of a Baja Designs Dual-Sport Kit by itself does not make an off-

road motorcycle street legal. Each state has different equipment requirements for street legal

motorcycles, including but not limited to such items as DOT approved tires, left and right side

mirrors, speedometers, quiet exhaust, chain guards, and side reflectors. Contact your state’s

Department of Motor Vehicles or highway patrol for a comprehensive list of equipment that is

required for street motorcycles before riding your bike on the street.

Street Riding: Riding a motorcycle on the street is very different than off-road riding and

requires special skills not learned off-road. Most states require an additional license beyond an

automobile driver’s license to operate a motorcycle on the street. Make sure to have the proper

licensing and skills before riding your bike on the street. Baja Designs recommends contacting

the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (800 446 9227) for a rider course near you.

1. Remove the seat, side panels, and fuel tank. 2. Unplug and remove the stock headlight.

3. Unplug and remove the stock kill button. See

4. Headlight Installation: The adjustment for up and down relies on friction therefore making sure the side bolts are tight enough to keep the light aimed where you want it is crucial.

5. Taillight Installation: Attach the provided LED taillight to

the under-side of the rear fender using the provided countersunk mounting hardware as shown in Photo 2. Route the taillight wires forward to the area on top of the air-box along the left side of the fender. Secure the taillight wires to the taillight plastic with zip-ties so the tire cannot make contact. If desired use the provided P clamps with the screws provided.

6. Rear Turn Signal Installation: Attach the rear turn signals to the flat portions on the sides of the LED taillight. Position them so they are out of the path of the exhaust. Route the wires forward securing with zip-ties. Route the right turn signal wires and the taillight wires around the front of the muffler mount and between the fender and the black plastic splashguard as shown in Photo 3.

7. Brake Light Switch Installation: This step requires bleeding the rear brake. If you do not feel comfortable performing this step please refer it to a qualified mechanic. Installation: Remove the guard that protects the rear master cylinder and reservoir. Temporarily remove the bolt that secures the brake reservoir to the frame. Remove the bolt that holds the banjo fitting to the top of the rear master cylinder. Replace this bolt with the provided hydraulic switch retaining the upper and lower crush washers as shown in Photo 4. Bleeding the Brakes: Do not begin this process without a fresh bottle of brake fluid. Remove the lid from the brake fluid reservoir. Put the box end of 8mm wrench over the brake bleed nipple and install the bleed hose (supplied) tightly over the nipple. Position the loop on the hose above the nipple as shown in Photo 5 with the other end of the hose in a container to catch the fluid. Crack the bleed nipple open about 1/8 to a quarter turn keeping the loop in the hose vertical. Slowly depress the brake pedal to fill the hose with fluid. Pump slowly until you have brake fluid extending up into the loop, then you can pump the pedal fairly aggressively to drive air out of the system - The fluid above the bleed nipple will prevent air from re-entering the system. DO NOT LET THE RESERVOIR GO DRY - ADD FLUID AS NEEDED. Pump the pedal until there are no more bubbles, and then close the nipple with the wrench. Double-check that the pedal is firm and the brake works properly.

Remount the brake fluid reservoir as shown in Photo 4 using the small peanut shaped bracket and 6 mm fasteners provided.

The aluminum caliper guard will have to be modified slightly to clear the brake reservoir. Cut a slit in the guard as shown in Photo 6, and bend the aluminum to clear the reservoir.

8. Middle Wiring Harness Installation: Locate the black cable with white plastic multi-pin connectors at both ends provided with the kit. Position one of the multi-pin connectors (doesn’t matter which – both ends of the middle harness are identical) so it sits just to the left of the steering head near the black connector from the switch panel assembly. With the handlebars turned fully to the right, route the middle harness back along the left side of the frame following the stock wiring harness. The connector at the end of the middle wiring harness should end up at the area on top of the airbox.

10. Rear Wiring Harness Installation and Connections:

• FLocate the rear wiring harness provided with the kit. It has a white plastic 6-pin connector with several sheathed power leads extending from it. Attach the 6-pin connector from the rear harness to its corresponding mate from the middle harness.

• Attach the ring terminal from the fused lead to the positive side of the battery.

• Attach the remaining black un-fused ring terminal to the negative side of the battery.

• Attach the white plastic 3-pin connector from the rear wiring harness to its corresponding mate from the taillight.

• Attach the green & black wire pair to the two wires from the right rear turn signal. Polarity is unimportant.

• Attach the brown & black wire pair to the two wires from the left rear turn signal. Polarity is unimportant.

• Route the red & blue wire pair down to the brake light switch and attach the two wires. Polarity is unimportant.

The rear wire connections are now completed. Secure your wiring with zip-ties. (OPTIONAL) 11. Kill Wire (G) Extension Installation:

Locate the kill button and wiring you disconnected in Step 3. In this step we will remove the plastic connector from the stock kill wiring and reattach it to the provided kill wire extension. Hold the connector as shown in Photo 11 and use a sharp pointed object to push upward the tiny plastic detents that hold the terminals in place while lightly tugging on the wire. This will release the metal terminals from the connector and the terminals will slide out the back of the plastic connector.

Locate the provided (black and yellow) two-wire extension in the small parts bag. One end of this extension will have female bullet connectors. The other end will have the same type of terminals as the ones you removed from the kill button connector. Insert these terminals into the stock kill button connector that you just removed, paying particular attention to get the polarity right. See Photo 12 for correct polarity.

Once you have installed the wires into the stock connector, reattach the connector to its corresponding mate from the stock wiring harness. Route the other end of the wire extension with the female connectors to the front of the bike along the main harness. Locate the black/white & blue/white wire pair from the front harness assembly. Attach the yellow wire from the extension to the black/white wire. Attach the black wire from the extension to the blue/white wire.

12. Front Wiring Connections & Headlight Installation:

• Attach the black multi-pin connector from the headlight to its corresponding mate from the switch panel.

• Attach the white multi-pin connector from the headlight to its corresponding mate from the middle wiring harness.

• Attach the headlight to the fork tubes. Turn the steering from side to side to verify that the wiring does not bind or get caught in the steering stops.

The following connections have been pre-made prior to shipping:

Flasher: The orange w/white tracer and red & green pair are attached to the red and black wire pair

from the flasher.

Horn: The red, and red & purple pair attach to the two terminals from the horn. Polarity is unimportant.

Front Turn Signals: The green and black wire pair attach to the two wires from the right turn signal.

The brown and black wire pair attach to the two wires from the left turn signal. Note: When using LED

turn signals polarity is important so be sure to match the black ground wire from the front harness to the

ground on the LED turn signals. When using incandescent signals polarity is unimportant.

Relay: The black & brown pair, yellow, green w/black tracer all run to the 3 pin male white plastic

connector and on to the relay switch.

ACEWELL: All kits now come prewired with a triangular female 3-pin plug which allows you to easily

power certain Acewell speedometer/tachometer units. Contact Baja Designs at 760-560-BAJA for more

info.

The wiring installation is now completed. Proceed to the next section to test your work.

System Checkout: The handlebar

switch controls the lighting functions

only. The lower “dot” position will

turn off the power to your lights. The

first light position will turn on your

low beam and the top light position on

the switch will turn on your high

beam. When the high beam is selected

the top indicator light will illuminate

to remind you the high beam is

selected.

Wrapping It Up: It is important that all the wires be properly routed and secured. Double-check the photos and sketches with regards to wire routing. Make sure the wires do not pass over any sharp edges, are pulled overly tight, or can be crushed by the seat, tank, fender, etc. Use all the zip ties provided to securely fasten the wires. Any unwanted movement or chafing suggests early failure. Make sure all the silicone rubber connector boots and the connectors are pushed firmly together and no bare metal is exposed. Put on the seat, tank, and side panels, go down to your local DMV, and then go roost! Removing and reinstalling the kit: To remove the kit, simply unplug the connector that mates the middle harness to the rear harness and the connector that joins the battery leads to the rear harness. Remove the “dual sport rear fender” with the rear harness still attached to it and reinstall a stock fender (not supplied.) The middle harness stays on the bike. TROUBLESHOOTING Nothing Happens When bike is On. • Fuse is blown. Check for bare wire or terminal shorting against the frame or another wire. • Multi-pin connector not properly connected.

• Battery connection poor. Make sure ring terminal is securely connected to the negative terminal of the battery. • Battery is dead. Measure voltage with voltmeter, or connect a 12 volt light across it. A fully charged battery should measure around 13.2 volts. • Special Red Connector not plugged into stock wiring harness properly. The Turn Signals Won't Come On, or Won't Flash • The wires on the flasher are connected backward. The red wire goes to the terminal labeled "X". • Check turn signal wire connections. • Make sure you have connected the correct wires to the turn signals. Check instructions.

• Battery voltage is low. If the battery voltage is low, the turn signals won't flash, or will flash very slowly. Running the bike will cure this as well as charge the battery.

• If only one signal lights and does not flash, it means that the other signal is not properly plugged in, or the bulb is burned out. System works fine at first, then lights and horn become erratic, battery goes dead.

• Check ground connection to battery. Check black wire from battery just prior to where it connects to the ring terminal to verify that it is not broken internally, or come loose. If you still need assistance, call Baja Designs at (760) 560-2252. Maintenance: Occasionally examine the wires in your lighting system to make sure they are not chaffing or binding so that they don't cause you a problem when you're out on the trail or on the road. A well-routed, properly secured wiring system is key to getting long life and trouble free performance from your conversion kit.
