    2 Basic Questions -

    Two basic noob questions

    1980 GSX750ET

    As with a lot of you, my battery is under my air cleaner housing and a PIA to get at. I'm hoping to get her running right over the next few days and finally do the checks from the stator pages. Will the bike run ok (and is it safe) without the airfilter housing and filter, so that I can get at the battery while the bike is running for the multimater tests?

    2. I have a Candadian import model which has the safety cutout switch on the clutch (clutch must be pulled in to start the bike). This was not on our Oz market bikes, and is quite frankly a PIA. Is there an easy way to remove/disable it without mucking up anything else in the electrical system?

    many thanks

    It is safe to run without the airfilter, but usually only recommended for testing purposes.
    Not having a filter on there will upset the carb mixture, so don't run it down the road like that.

    Very easy to disable the clutch "safety" switch. Follow the two wires (yellow with green stripe) from the clutch switch into the headlight bucket. You will find that they attach to the main harness with bullet connectors. Remove the switch wires from the main harness wires, re-connect the main harness wires to each other. You can just leave the switch wires hanging, if you want.
