Funny thing Esteemed members, The exact same fault on the owners forum the day after pegscraper found his fault, an 07 as well. lol lol Should have a standard Spider proforma letter / information to post off, just copy and paste for the next spider fault, lol lol. Maybe a good idea, and the...

It's really amazing what gets in there and ??? HOW ??? I also had a mummified bird up in front of engine. Nicely dehydrated. They say to use EFI friendly gasket stuff as it can effect certain sensor readings, don't know ???? Did you use the really great valve spread sheet from the Forum ...

Just a couple of handy hints I've learned. I used dialectic grease on those coil over plug spark plugs, real tight and hard to remove the first time. I normally blow out the spark plug holes as debris sometimes accumulates in there. Saves it going into the cylinder. The cooling pipe holes...

I just get real sick when I hear of dealers dodgy practices and screwing the owner.

Tell Raymond at Yamaha Corp in Cypress that he's a ******. First on the list funny enough. I wouldn't take my bike there ever, try another dealer. Or get a member to check their work. A letter with detailed photos and conversations to Yamaha. Those guys shouldn't be working on bikes. Give...

Nice that you found it. If you would have listened to our esteemed Forum members that nutted it out in the first few posts, you wouldn't of wasted money on an *****. 1:Glove box not opening, may have been pin 4 S6 or a connector high resistance / burnt or the S4 dreaded bite. Note, you...

FFS get your self a service manual. Stop wasting money on idiots and listen to advice. All the recalls may have been done, but you look for other Spider issue threads you have found your answer to the bikes problem. Maybe get that weirdo mechanic to read them. This map I did for the benefit...

Had better download the instructions and have a real good read page 7. It will not do anything, so just a waste of money.

Did a service on my Gen 3 at about 800kms. Say no more.

I always carry a script but not in the same pannier as the drugs.

That is a fairly good value. Most dielectric grease have a resistivity of around 20 kVolts - mm and conductance figure of around 8×10-14 micro-Siemens per cm and they will definitely not improve the electrical contact patch of the surface. Anything is better than nothing, to each their own.

That will fix the problem but you must treat the other spider connectors. I'd suggest carbon grease and NOT dielectric grease, dielectric grease is an insulator, Google it, it may make a bad pin connection worse.

Easy enough to pop the tank to have a look. The recall only addresses the S4 spider, there has been big problems with the S6 S7 and S8, All documented here on the forum, the S6 bite is the second most common fault but the bike still runs. In the USA, I think they put a small mark on the vin...

There is plenty of information on the Forum about them. The 5 volt spiders are for the transducer / sensor circuits and not part of the bike's 12 volt circuit. The sensors supply is fed from the ECU and should NEVER be "joined" to the 12 volt neutral circuit. The location and wire colours...

The bike has been bitten by a spider, classic symptoms. Time to check all 5 twelve volt neutral connectors for any damage and to treat them, and include the 2 five volt connectors.

If you are on Face Book could pay to check out https://www.facebook.com/BMW-K1600-Faults-Failures-and-Recalls-1410210559197155/?fref=ts Also an article within the page "457 BMW K1600's returned under the Lemon Law in the US."

Had a very expensive accurate Michelin gauge that broke, cry. I just bought an el chepo and had a fitter mate check it's calibration, reasonable accurate, I was lucky.

Been happy with mine since 2006, on the 3rd FJR.

I have both, well the normal C3 & not the pro. The Neotec wins hands down, for me the Shoei is more comfortable and the visor doesn't flip and close up at speeds over 10km hour, really quiet annoying. The Neotec is quieter bit I use Earmolds and a Sena 10

Better if you can use a DC tong tester (a clamp around the cable one). I'm sure there was an old post on the forum about it. As mentioned .6 mA seems ok
