Why does my response appear twice when I selected "add reply" only once?

It's often called "an expression" or "literary latitude".

...and excellent grammar/punctuation. Oops...did I say that out loud?

Oh...sorry...it's VERY dark red. Regrettably (and apparently), I don't take this whole motorcycle thing quite as seriously as some.

All front fairing pieces (my bike is dark red, but color is of no importance), the large metal frame/birdcage in the front that serves as a mounting point for several things, a windshield...basically everything decorative in the front and some underlying bits and pieces...no electrical and/or...

Attn Fred W! Notice the part above where I describe the relay as having physical damage. I didn't post it in the beginning because I didn't know it. As you are likely well-aware, bike repair is a process. Not all of the information is known in the beginning. Wouldn't it be wonderful if it...

Yes, well, the relay on my bike had literally been punctured by the accident which, in turn, cracked the internal circuit board in half. I'm fairly certain the corresponding wires are OK, but I do thank you!

UPDATE!!! Installed the relay today and...nothing...crickets. Just kidding...started right up and sounded like the thing of beauty that it...once was (and will be again). After securing miscellaneous wires, I set out to drive it around a bit. It rides beautifully, as though no accident had...

I'm reassembling a crashed FJR and need several front end parts. Fork tube, fairing, etc. What's a good source for OEM parts at a substantial discount? Thanks in advance...

I thank you as well, sir! What a sense of relief to now know what that relay assembly does (and to know that what it controls is what I'm having difficulty with).

That's OK...based on the latest input I've received, I feel confident that my entire problem rests with that relay.

The previous owner navigated a corner poorly and went down. The bike was running perfectly and shut off as soon as it reached the ground (Hurray for the lean angle sensor!). I will check the grounding straps/blocks anyway. Thank you as well.

Based on what you've written, this relay assembly must be the problem. I say this because I am having problems with every system you mentioned. Thank you very much for your input.

Will do...thank you.

Yeah...neither can I. I just appreciate the fact that you chimed in despite your admitted unfamiliarity w/ reading them. I'm anxious to get that relay on Friday and plug it in! There is no other VISIBLE damage to any aspect of the wiring harness, and the lean angle sensor does trigger the CEL...

Really? Despite the "generation-gap", that is very helpful. It is relatively likely, then, that the broken relay does, in fact, control several functions (since mine has 16 pins vs. 11). Perhaps Yamaha incorporated additional functionality into that particular relay in the Gen II. Fingers...

Is that supposed to be a joke? If so, I see you were aiming low (LOL).

Well guys...based on the fact that no concrete answer has been provided, at least I can have the satisfaction of knowing that I posed a difficult question;). Funny that such an important/necessary component is merely named, but not described.

I just spent the last 20 mins perusing the internet. The only thing I found was "Relay Assembly". It boggles my mind that I cannot locate a description of its actual function(s)...only its name (which, admittedly, is a very vague one).
