Question 2: Harley CANBUS system and tapping in
Avoid messing with the CANBUS wires. Locate wires as per manual to verify which wires they are and leave them alone!

Question 3: 1983 Honda Sabre 750 - Starting trouble when the bike is hot after it has been running.
- Possible fuel or ignition issue. Check plugs to verify that the plugs are not overly black and fouled or pure white from a lean scenario
- Ignition system is struggling to push power to the coils/plugs due to a high resistance issue with the starter.
* Try a jumper battery under this fault condition to see if that temporarily resolves the problem.
