Happy Birthday Greg ! Us Aquarians are a good bunch of people, I made 56 yesterday Haven't done that much riding with all my frigging medical problems Just came out of Critical Care and riding the Spyder 2 days after, the next 12 months will be better.

I lost the cover at speed, no real drama there, BUT it acts like a dam,it collects a LOT of water. I used some of that anti-slip material to sit it firmly on the tank, help protect the paint.

All the cop bikes I've worked on have had the recall done. I don't know if the police garage, or the dealers who service them, treat the rest of them ???

Pays to search the forum instead of asking the same questions that's been asked a hundred times before. Gets a bit "ho hum" after awhile Pays to read this https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/forum/59-new-forum-members/

Exactly what Donald said. Any old wire and however you fix the S6 up, add the wire and run it to the battery negative. The larger the wire diameter, the less resistance it has and hence allows more current to bypass. It shunts the load current off the existing circuit directly back to the...

Good to find the fault, S6 mentioned several times esp post #2. Also wire in a 2.5 mm bypass wire back to the battery negative terminal while ya there.

Please let us all know. As I mentioned in my prior post, I checked the error codes that night when I arrived at my accommodation. There were none, and like yourself was somewhat concerned by the event. I did find a few similar cases on other bike forums a few weeks later. I've ridden through...

Australia is the 2nd largest island in the world

We have a few members that are both on this forum and on the Aussie forum, I think there is a gent here who isn't down under. Yes we are a Big FFing Island! lol lol.

Yep, It can take upwards of 52 amps total current draw on that little wire on terminal 3. (depends what's on) Hence it was a common spider fault. I've replaced that non working Spider diagram link, don't know what happened there ? That's where Yamaha plug in their bypass wire back to the...

I checked my error codes that night camping and there were no error codes from that event. Error history is only as good so long as you check it and clear it on a regular basis. With the early generations, real simple via the dash. It could show a stored fault from 8 year ago. I do not know...

Eucalyptus Oil works well. I use it for all those nasty bits on paintwork like tar on paint and burnt rubber on exhausts.

The one and only time my 2006 played up was during & after riding through a HUGE mega thunder storm, downpour, many years ago. It eventually came good but ran like crap for a few hours. I put it down to the HV Corana effect (look it up) + the water caused high voltage shorting (High voltage...

No

Sorry RossKen, The conductive grease is very sticky like like the proverbial on bears fur. Stops egress of water Like anything I use I always check out the manufactures website to see if it's technical specifications meets my requirements. I'm fairly limited where I live also, If I can't...

The Volume Resistivity of carbon grease is 117 Ω·cm (my product is 115 Ω·cm) The Volume Resistivity of Dialectic grease is about 1 ×10 to the 15th ohms / cm, to 2.6×10 to the 15th ohms / cm That is say 2,000,000,000,000,000 Ω·cm 117 ohms is a LOT less resistance than 2000000000000000 Ω·cm...

Thanks gents, the diagram is for everyone to freely share. I need to update it a bit, eg the S2 and S5 spiders are for the 5 volt transducer neutrals and totally separate to the other 12 V neutral spiders & hence should never be joined. It's power is supplied via the ECU. I tried to figure...

Whatever ! Each to their own. Have you checked out the tech specifications of the product I use ? Has a resistivity of about 115 ohms / cm, even much better conductivity in thinner applications and stable up to about 200 degrees. It is designed for this very application, can find all sorts of...

Sounds like a spider, the S6 as mentioned. I also use Carbon Grease, dialectic grease is an insulator that makes a poor contact worse.

This what I and many other Aussie FJR riders use. You may have something similar in NZ ? A bit expensive but bloody worth it, the silicon lasts for about 5-6 years and I use them on a regular basis. I had my first set reconditioned, had the silicon resealed and can buy bits individually...
