About to fit a digital speedo and sorting out excess wire on the 87 fzr 1000.

There is a wire from the 'speed sensor' going to the relay, its green/white in the pic.

What is it's job exactly?
Just cut it short?

Have a good weekend guys. Image

Yes the new speedo does take a magnet.

I dont know why the pic has the right side cut off but it goes to the relay box
What I was wanting to know is what the purpose of this wire is as I dont need it anymore. My guess is that it's a limiter possibly?

Cheers

It turns off the turn signals above 35mph. Just leave it unhooked.
