Example; with or w/o tach, speedo, fuel sensor - will your new fuel pump be powered by the existing FI relay. Are you planning on removing the Warrior built in pre-start interlocks such as kickstand up, clutch interlock, neutral switch etc.
I assume you plan to retain the ECU to trigger the ignition coils so you need the CPS for sure. Powering the fuel pump separately will allow you more independence imo.
good luck

alanh,
yes i would like to get rid of any safteys like the kickstand and clutch. whats involved in that?? is it just throw em away and it will still work or??? any advise would be awesome!!

some of the safety features when removed, the wires have to be connected. I think the kill switch wires have to be connected, and the clutch safety switch i think is left unconnected. I am not sure anymore it's been so long but if your bike does not work right with the wires unconnected then they need to be connected. Just remove one thing at a time and check to see the bike functions properly and you will be able to figure it out or just check the wiring schematic for how they function.

im wiring the engine out of a damaged bike, so its currently not running, i cant unplug things, thats why im trying to figure out what i can and cant get away with, or at least get pointed in the right direction.

i assume you know what you're doing when it comes to this stuff. i do not. BUT, would it not be better/easier to get it running properly and then take things off? then you'd know it runs and when it stops running, you'd know it was something you just did. i usually take the long way around but that's because i don't know what i'm doing.
