Default Fuel moto wiring run question

Will the head get hot enough to melt this wire? Or do I need to re run?

What's the wire for? Power Vision? I ran mine under the tank console temporarily. When I had the tank off the next time, I ran it through the wire tray. Pull the console (2 screws), 4 bolts, quick disconnect the fuel line and vent tubes. Not a difficult job. Do it before you fill the tank full. I'd worry more about abrasion. The motor moves and shakes. Could rub through.

I sleaved mine in a small automotive wire loom and ran in the wiring tray under the tank. The tanks on those come off really easy but yes make sure you towards empty 5-6 gallons of gas is pretty heavy and it's awkward in the tank you don't want to be dinging it. I took mine off once when I was darn near full bad choice and nerve-wracking.

its the wire that taps into the sensor for the fuel moto micro tuner. I redid it. Hope it's good now.

The routing looks much better. I would place some split loom around the wire to better protect it.
