Cool. Thanks guys. BTW, since the original topic for this thread was identifying the electrical connector that was id'ed in the second post, I started a new thread to dwelve into the no-start problem...

Thanks 'scape :)

Thanks again, Ken. I really appreciate your help :) You Aussies are good blokes. One of my best friends lives near Brisbane. :D

Outstanding! It would be too cool if all that was wrong with this bike is a missing "spider". Like someone took it off and neglected to - or intentionally didn't put it back on. Thanks again. I'm pumped to try this fix out.

Good info on the headlights guys. I knew that that was the case on many bikes. Just wasn't sure on this one. And thanks for the good wishes. Ken, I found another S block connector and saw the spider! ;) I finally! saw what was missing from this one. An end cap - which is properly called a...

Ah, very good, Ken. Thank you. Since you mentioned the Spider in your first post, I have been reading the "Bitten by the spider" thread. And I downloaded the diagram from that thread. I went and looked at the bike again and sure enough, the parking light, brake light, and tag light don't work...

Excellent! Thank you so much for your input. That might turn out to be very helpful. So there wouldn't be an issue with the automatic shifting system with an later ECU? I just checked the color coding on the two unconnected connectors. The wires from both of them have brown splotches on them...

I have been reading the manual diligently since asking this question and I believe I have worked out the correct answer. I am basically now just seeking confirmation that my diagnosis is correct and that I haven't overlooked anything. And also I have a couple of new unconnected connectors that I...

Chuck35, Really? So even though this is the Automatic Shift model, I should go for the 09-12 ECU?

Hello All, I have recently acquired What is basically a basket case. Here is some back story on it: This is an interesting bike with an interesting background: It was a factory technician training vehicle and has never been registered, titled, etc. I bought it last month from a technician at a...

Yep, GoatBoy. I'm the guy And yes, it was definitely a "Can't Go Wrong Deal". For anyone wondering, my purchase price was less than $1000. ALL of the parts on this bike are pristine condition. And thanks for the good luck wishes. If I have good luck, I will be riding this bike next week. That...

I have a copy of the service manual. Thanks for your input.

Well, yes, Mudslide. That is a valid concern. But I've been doing this for hundreds of years. Okay, it just seems like it's been that long. I've been riding motorcycles for 43 years and working on them almost as long. I've rebuilt more than one from the frame up. But this is the most complex...

I don't know why you think it is crazy. That isn't a groove. It is merely a discoloration from oil/dirt. The discs are smooth as a baby's bottom. Rest assured, this bike has never seen any road time of any significance. It is a brand new 2006 model bike.

Excellent news! Gentlemen, thank you for your answers :) In answer to Ionbeam's questions: This is an interesting bike with an interesting background: It was a factory technician training vehicle and has never been registered, titled, etc. I bought it last month from a technician at a Los...

Hi All, I got this FJR in non-running condition and am trying to get it running. There is a connector that wasn't plugged in and I am trying to identify it. If you know what it is and where it is supposed to go, please let me know. Thank you :)

:) I lived and rode in Los Angeles for many years. This sort of riding looks quite familiar, even if it is on the wrong side of the road :D
