I recently fitted a ctek battery charger cable to my battery. In order to secure it along its path to the right rear foot peg I cable tied it at various places.
I accidentally forgot to unplug it the other day and rode off and nearly tore the fuse box out of the bike! as I had cable tied it to the loom that goes to the fuse box and it took the brunt of the tug!
Hope that helps someone not make my mistake! It didnt do any lasting damage thankfully all still working just fine.
radron, I know how you felt. Awhile back I was in a hurry and left a gas station with the hose still in the filler neck ... worse because there was a pretty good audience to watch me at my dumb*ss best. Fortunately no damage done.
