That is what I thought as well. So it would follow to reason that the PO did indeed completely switch out the system. Possibly even swapping the wiring harness. I'll check tonight and post pictures but I believe I am correct in my assumptions.

If I am correct I would like to wire a new RR in without changing the entire harness. Is that possible? Would anyone know what wires to connect to what if I had a 5 wire standard RR?


I'm beginning to wonder if the previous owner never actually had an Estart system on the bike but instead just purchased "most" of the parts required and told me that he had it all on at one point.....
