This is for a 2014 standard. I broke the female connector on the little circuit board in a crash and the bike seems to run fine without it being connected except for no tach. Are there any other functions controlled by this little ribbon cable? I'm not an electrical guy so I am not really able to read the schematic in the manual too well. I don't want to damage the bike. Is the thermister controlled by this little cable? Any other functions that could damage the bike if not connected?

Couple of pictures would be nice to get us started

It seems salvageable but you need to dis-assemble the pcb to get access to the back of it and re-connect the missing? pins, someone with good eyes and soldering iron and some knowledge can probably do some good here, even if he needs to make some pins and solder short wires to what is left of the electrical tracks on the back of the connector pins one by one.

Dont try to connect only part of the connector, all of these wires must be connected at the same time.

I would leave the connector in tact as it is for the future and to keep the white wires in order since they all look the same when you get them out of the connector, just push some new pins in the connector holes or repair the pins in the board.

There is no harm in running the bike in the situation it is in now, the cluster only receives signals from various parts of the bike and processes some of them.

The connector behind the broken one with the colored wires is likely from the headlight and is shown on the pdf in the left top corner.

If you mean the oil temperature sensor by " the thermistor " no, the ot sensor is directly connected to the electronic control module under the tank, see diagram.

It may be better to repair the existing connector because of the risk of damaging the tracks with heat during replacement, there is likely enough friction to keep the connector in place despite the plastic not being able to capture the cable connector in place.

We we're able to complete the build with the KOSO TNT gauge and it came out so amazing .. ONE weird thing is NEUTRAL light tends to be a little intermittent with the KOSO GAUGE..

You have to rev the engine to 5k and the light stays solid (koso) or if you pull the clutch in it reads perfectly . Trying to wrap our brains around it but the owner of the bike wasn't bothered much .

AGAIN THANK U ALL SO MUCH!
