"Well now we are going to remove this seat, and we are going to get to the bike's computer so we can remove the necessary wire to make this exhaust run correctly. All you do is take a four millimeter, get these allens out. Seat comes off. Which is right down here. I am just going to undo the little rubber-band. Alright what you want to do is you want to spread these little tabs after you find the plug on the right hand side of the bike, that is a black plug and when you open it you will see the orange thing like this, spread these little tabs apart. Put the little orange piece down. We are going to find the wire in this. In this one it is a brown a black wire with a brown stripe in position five, that is right there. You can see that is a black wire brown stripe. So you just take a little pick, stick it in the square, press on it. And the wire will come right out. Just like that. And you are want what you want to do is just tape this wire up and you are going to tape it really good to use electrical tape or you could use shrink wrap, you could use just anything just make sure this does not touch anything ever. So I am just going to use some electrical tape. We cut a little piece of shrink and we are just going to heat it up. This will seal, it protect it, and I am going to tape that up. Right now I got the orange cap back on, I am about to slide this plug back into the computer. We are done removing the it is called the Suzuki Exhaust Tuning Wire, it is basically what gives the power and everything to the exhaust, how to run and everything so that is why we disconnect it 'cause it has a new exhaust that we put on there, so now it we can tune it with our power programmer that we are about to install. Now that is all snapped back in and, we are ready to install the power programmer."
