When I got the F800GS I'm currently converting (http://www.ukgser.com/forums/<wbr>showthread.php/383846-<wbr>Converting-an-F800GS-to-belt-<wbr>drive), the multi-pin plugs which connect to the instrument cluster and headlight were missing, having been ripped off along with the aforementioned components when the bike was crashed.
There are dedicated wiring-harness repair tools available from BMW. On the Max BMW website, they are at the following pages (I've given '13-onward F800GS as an example):
Given that reference is made to 'Service information bulletin 75/2004' (which presumably contains instructions on how to repair various parts of all wiring harnesses), that all multi-pin plugs that can be ordered as replacement parts come with lengths of wire pre-attached, that the mentioned special tools are a wire cutter, a wire stripper and a terminal-crimping tool, and that the 'various parts' consist of crimp-terminals for joining two lengths of wire, heat-shrink tubing and cloth tape...
...what's to stop an average owner from ordering up the right terminals and performing needed wiring repairs themselves?
Is some kind of ECU and/or ZFE-high calibration needed after performing such repairs? I've searched for this service bulletin on the internet, but can't find it.
