02 r1150r wiring harness

[duan447]

Is the main engine wiring harness the same for ABS and non-ABS the same ?

The clock light bulb on my bike was burned out so I removed it to find a replacement and the center contact of the socket came loose and shorted to the ground of the socket melting the wires all the way to the fuse box . The tell tale harness is repairable but the main harness is not .

BMW boneyard has one but I'm looking at cheaper ones on eBay , but it's not clear if they came off of an ABS model .

Needless to say I'm very frustrated and annoyed that removing a bulb caused this much damage .

 

Thanks

Morning duan447

 

On the 1150R there is a harness difference between pre & post 12/2002 motorcycles & a difference between ABS & non ABS motorcycles.

Just to follow up , I confirmed with the eBay seller with the vin # and pictures that the harness was from the correct abs model .

  I wrapped it with rubber splicing tape since most of the outer insulation was falling apart and soldered and heat shrunk  new wire to the tell tale harness .

I had to remove the ABS pump and the rear subframe to do the switch , what a PITA . I had just installed SS brake lines , so I had to bleed the system again . Probably spend 20+ hours . Wish I had taken pictures .

   One bonus though , my $90 eBay harness came with a signal minder .The seller had removed the other relays but left that one .

The bike started and ran first try , but I have only ridden briefly due to weather .

 

Thanks again to D.R .
