Topic: cb500 starter deleted, can I also remove the solenoid?

[nicks2319]

Hello everyone and thanks for looking. I've searched like crazy and haven't seen an answer.

I've removed the starter and have been simplifying the harness on my cafe build. I've noticed that the only wires I have running to my starter solenoid now are the lead to the battery, the main red fuzed wire, and the starter button wires. Can the starter solenoid now be completely removed by running the red fuzed wire directly to the battery?

I'm no electrician and wanted to make sure it didn't serve any other purpose. Thanks!

Delete at will!

Yes, no problem. I have made my own kick-only wiring. It's really not that hard. Here are some useful links for simplifying your harness:

You can find at lot of info by googling something like: "simple honda 4 wiring diagram"
