Preamble: After we lost a chunk of the rear wheel of our Ténéré at speed during the '19 IBR we lost confidence in it to the extent we were wincing ever time we went over any sort of bumps. That being the case we decided we'd get rid of it so last July I bought a 1250 GSA with the intent of selling the Ténéré (I know, heresy, but bear with me!). There were loads of accessories on the Ténéré like Clearwater lights, RapidBike Evo, dual SatNav mounts and so on and I thought it would be a good idea to remove them all first. I am not a natural mechanic and it took me a full day to get everything off. The day after doing that we decided getting rid of the Ténéré was a a stupid idea as we like riding it so we'd just have to get over the wheel issue and keep both bikes. What with lockdown and a GSA to ride when we're not locked down the Ténéré has been sitting there in a disassembled state ever since.
Fast forward to today.
The Problem: I decided I'd put it back together again this weekend and I'm struggling with something really stupid - the ABS unit cover - not least because it's been such a long time I've completely forgotten how everything fits together.
I've attached a couple of photos showing the cover and the ABS unit. I've marked on them where the various pieces mate but it won't sit there because of the mass of wires I've put a question mark on. I insert the prongs (1&2) into their holes but as soon as I try to lower the rear of the cover into place they ping back out again as the cover pivots on the wires. Is that bunch of wires supposed to sit under the cover or are they supposed to come over the top somehow?
The manual is worse than useless as it doesn't show a picture of the cover in place. I've been trying to find such a picture with Google but have completely failed. If by some chance you have a photo showing the ABS unit cover in situ would you mind posting it please so I can see how it's supposed to fit? Thanks.
The only good thing is that after refitting the RapidBike and loosely putting the tank in place to see if everything worked the bike fired up almost immediately after hitting the starter button so that was a result.
