That said you don't get the connector through the frame you have to take the wires out of the connector.
Or as you said cut and splice the wires but I'd do it with solder and heat shrink not but connectors.

The wiring harness is inside the main backbone of the frame. There is a multi-pin connector about halfway inside the length of that backbone.
The harness has excess wiring down low under the seat so you can feed the harness out by the triple tree to gain access to that multi pin connector. Pretty sure the manual describes how to do it.
Basically you undo any zip ties on the frame by the steering neck, then you pull the wiring harness out towards the front of the bike while feeding the excess that is packed under the seat area (there is excess loop of the harness down low by the tranny) into the backbone.
Last time I did mine I removed the seat, the tank, the windscreen, used silicone spray on the harness so it would slide in the frame easier, and lots of back and forth pushing the excess loop into the frame and then movining to front of bike and pulling on the harness till I got the connector exposed.
Then its a matter of using a connector pin removing tool to remove old, put in new, then reverse the process getting it all back in the backbone, replace zip ties, etc.
Or, cut and splice, use solder and adhesive lined heat shrink. Your call. Yd
