Radster Road DOA @950mi

[RADsterBID]

Radster Road DOA @ 950 miles...or so it initially seemed. Then I discovered that the headlight cable connection was disconnected inside the frame.
The repeated turning of the handlebars all the way right or left had disconnected headlight cable connector from the wiring harness.
Reconnected the headlight connector, bike turns and runs.

There is a rat's next of wiring that enters into the frame behind the front fork.
I reworked this area of the wire harness routing so that I alleviated tension to the cables due to handle bar movements.
I also zip tied the front wiring loom to the bottom of my head tube left bottle cage.
This zip tie positions the wiring loop above the top of the left front fork cap.
(I have an aftermarket bracket attached to the head tube that allows for two water bottles.)

The two wire routing modifications will prevent the headlight cable connection from being disconnected from turning the handlebars.
Check your Radster Road for this area of wiring and tension to the cabling due to poor wire harness routing.

I also wrapped two layers of electrical tape around every one of the wiring harness connectors.

Probably was assembled poorly, RADsterBID… But, do I understand you that it’s working correctly now? Yeah, if wires are pulling themselves out of their connectors (or tearing themselves apart) that’s no bueno. Wires should be free to move and flex without pulling when rotating the stem/bars around.
