REMOVING A STATOR

QUESTION, I CAN PULL MY STATOR OFF THE ROTOR, BUT HOW THE HECK DOES ONE PULL THE WIRING HARNESS PART OF IT THRU THE ENGINE CASING?

Okay I took a chance on assuming that pulling the clutch cover wouldn't end up with me having oil all over the floor and gave it a go. No oil leaked out..sweet! The pictures on the exploding parts and the manual I have doesnt really show this well.
First picture is the clutch cover off. I tried for three minutes to get the cable off the where it attaches to the clutch lever actuator hitting. before I noticed the small bent tab holding it on..Duh! Now I can see how the wire is routed, honestly its has to be the most Rube Goldberg type routing I've seen yet. Makes ya wonder why they didn't just run the wire right outside the casing to the back of the bike. Ok..pull all that nasty oil chain covered wire out making mental notes on all the little nooks and crany it was stuffed into. (see second picture) Install the replacement stator and start routing the wiring back thru. It took me four tries to get it right Fire it up and check the voltage..success!
