Rewiring the race bike to upgrade from microsquirt to MS3.
At work I snagged some wiring harness sleeve from work. It's a fire resistant braided sleeve. It also includes a braided steel inner sleeve. Would using the braided inner sleeve on the whole wiring harness be a good idea? Want to make sure I won't cause some unexpected interference?
Or would it be better to use the inner steel shielding on the parts that typically cause interference - like the ignition wires and the air shifter solenoid? Or better to use the inner steel braid on the rest of the harness instead?
Thanks

You tend to screen cables sensitive to interference rather than the ones which cause it. And the best plan is to keep the loom and things like HT cables well apart.

Re: Wiring Harness Question
Although I have several pieces of both the inner and outer braids on hand - sounds like there is no benefit to using the inner steel braid. I'll just use the outer braid then and rely on the existing shielding for the crank sensor.
Thanks!
