This is what I have. I have not copied the entire bulletin due to copyright issues, but we now have part numbers for the sub-harness and also new wire harnesses for the years affected.........
a Motor Corporation, U.S.A. has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2006~2009 FJR1300A/AC/AE/AEC model motorcycles. On affected motorcycles, the ground joint connector of the wire harness could overheat and become deformed, possibly causing an intermittent
ground wire connection. If the electrical system is not properly grounded, the ignition system and/or other electrical components could malfunction, which could cause the engine to stall. If this happens while the motorcycle is being ridden, there could be a crash resulting in injury or death.
To correct this defect, Yamaha is initiating a Factory Modification Campaign. Affected motorcycles must have an additional wire sub-lead installed or, if the ground joint connector has already been damaged from overheating, have the main wire harness replaced.
Yamaha is notifying all registered owners of affected motorcycles by mail. A copy of this letter is included in this bulletin. The customer should take the letter along with the affected motorcycle to an authorized Yamaha dealer for the modification.
A computer report listing all affected motorcycles invoiced to your dealership is included with this bulletin. Use the list to help ensure all motorcycles are modified. All sold motorcycles that have been registered with Yamaha will show the customer's name and address. Your dealership must notify the owner of any affected motorcycle that was actually sold but is listed as "unsold" in the report.
You must modify all affected motorcycles in your inventory as well as all customer-owned motorcycles brought to you for this service. Any affected motorcycle that you purchase from Yamaha in the future will also require modification. If you purchase a motorcycle from another dealer, check to see if the procedures in this bulletin have already been performed before you sell the motorcycle.
Motorcycles that are affected should not be operated until they are modified. It is a violation of Yamaha policy for your dealership to deliver any affected motorcycles to customers until the procedures in this bulletin are performed.
SAFETY
RECALL
This modification has top priority. This bulletin must be
performed immediately to ensure customer safety.
NOTE: Bulletins that announce a recall will have an "R" at the end of the bulletin number.

Unsold
Units: Install the additional wire sub-lead during PDI service.
Sold
Units: Inspect the ground joint connector. If undamaged, install the additional wire sub-lead. If damaged,
replace the wire harness. Check first to be sure the modification has not already been performed (see Identification Procedure section in this bulletin).
Parts: Yes, order a wire sub-lead for each affected unit, unless the wire harness is being replaced due to damage. If you need a wire harness, contact your RTA before ordering. It is not necessary to install the wire sub-lead on a replacement wire harness. See the Parts Information section for details.
Warranty: Factory Modification Campaign. See the Warranty Information section of this bulletin. This modification
applies to all affected units regardless of ownership or warranty status.
Notify
Customers: Yes. You must immediately contact any customer whose motorcycle shows as unregistered on the enclosed report. Yamaha has sent letters to customers whose motorcycles were registered with state departments of motor vehicles as of X/X/XX, as well as any motorcycles registered for warranty after X/X/XX up to and including X/X/XX.
I have the entire .pdf bulletin, but it is protected by copyright so I have only copied the information that is of actual importance.
Don't shoot me, I'm only the messenger!
