The Clymer schematics are wrong in places including that little piece which is why I don't use the Clymer electric diagram. I prefer the factory service manual as the schematics are more accurate. The dash and speedo lights do cutoff when the start button is pushed.
Say it ain't so, Maleko!
The Clymer manual was one of my first purchases in 03, after the bike. It's been like a bible to me(no offense to The Good Book), in particular, the wiring diagrams. I've modded extensively - another four-circuit fuse box, a few stand-alone fused circuits, and numerous tap-ins and deletions to the original wiring.
So far, I haven't run across any discrepancies in terms of wiring colour or routing, everything has been per the Clymer schematics.
Recently, Alorio1 was kind enough to forward me some updated diagrams(I believe they had been done by Dingy), but they didn't apply to my model year.
So I guess I should look around for an O.E.M. manual, or maybe a Haynes?
Do you know of any mistakes in that one?
Cheers
p.s. - I just started my bike. Like you stated, the dash lights go off when the starter button is depressed.
A curse on you, Mr. Clymer. I'm sticking pins in my manual right now! Feel
my pain!!:damn angry:
