just picked up my 99 r1. rpm gauge stays at 4k when on even when driving. But the main problem is i believe the charging system is bad or a bad connection. brand new battery good connections has left me stranded twice. Will be riding at the gauges will start blinking on and off. I have found two wires that aren't connected any help?
the first pic is the blue and red striped wire. cut at the bottom of the pic hard to tell. its from the front left wiring harness it looks like it was cut but i cant find the other part..?
the second one is on the left side near under the tank. Thanks!

it doesnt cycle from 0-4k rpms so i dont think its a code. I found the recifier it is kinda between the seat and the fuel tank. I wont worry about the unconnected wires then. Tailight is aftermarket and i dont mind the kickstand switch being off. Just hope the strator isn't bad. Ill check the wires tomorrow

to follow up on this. took the tank off found a wire melted that wasnt connected anymore. the 3 white wire plug. ran wire and bypassed the plug bike charges perfectly now. rpm gauge still bounces at 4700 or so and once in a while will go to 600 then back up. weird
