Does anyone know how to disconnect the little battery-draining clock on the 907? What wire should be disconnected behind the instrument panel?
Thanks

Here's the quick and dirty way. There are no "wires" behind instrument panel, rather there is a printed circuit board. I tried pulling stud to + lead but it broke off and still made contact. Solution was xato knife and cut gap into the "+" lead. Where battery would run down completly in two weeks, now stays usable for 2 months plus. :thumbup:

I took the clock out, it is held in by studs that make contact with the printed circut board. I then used some small rubber gromlets that you can buy at any hardware store and placed then in the holes. Push the studs through and bolt back up like normal. The studs cannot make contact with the circut board and that is it.

I don't know if your 907 is the same as mine, but on my 92, I just rigged up a switch on the small relay power wire that goes to the battery.

On my battery positive post, I had two wires connected, one heavy gauge wire that goes to the starter, and one lighter gauge wire that powers the relays, clock, electronics, etc. I took a small project box, a 30 amp toggle switch, and some similar gauge wire, and hooked this wire to the switch. When I'm done riding, I can reach under the seat and flip this toggle off, which kills the power to everything, including the clock. Kind of a poor-mans security system too, because the switch is hidden under the seat, and can't be reached unless you remove the seat. I mounted the box where california bikes have their purge tank located. At least I think that's what it is, left side next to battery, there are two tabs welded to the frame with nothing attached.

It's not horribly elegant, but it works. I can send pics if you want.

I would do this way: I tried to find thin, but very good insulator specer(plastic) BETWEEN clock + pole and circuit board and then add small "abiko" connectors with ring holes to both sides, to clock + pole side and to circuit board side and make wirings from those connectors to switch, what i shall put to enough easy accessible place to get clock ON/OFF.... I dont know, how much there is space between clock surface and that plastic black instrument cover, if clock comes little off from circuit board....

Since I can't see where anyone actually posted having cut the orange wire and confirmed if it was the clock I will.

I cut the orange wire on the six-wire plug and shieldewd both ends. The clock stopped. No side effects occured.
