Kill switch??? Sounds dumb, but I've seen it before!

No, it's a good suggestion. But yes, I ensured that the kill switch isn't engaged

That looks familiar. I want to say it looks like the connector for the gear position switch I think. I can't check until I get home. I will unless someone else chimes in. Of course, you could eliminate that by turning the bike on and changing gears and seeing if you have an indication.

Excellent. I'll try it. Thank you
Okay, I tried it. I changed from N to 1st and the panel registered it, so I don't think that's it. I'm trying to trace it in the wiring diagram. It looks like it might be a wiring harness coupler. But for the life of me I can't seem to find where it couples to.

There are 4 wires: Black, Brown, White w/ Blue stripe, and Yellow w/ Blue stripe.

Wild guess: Since that black connector with those wire colors do not show on the schematic of the A version of the '06 FJR there is a strong possibility that the connector is associated with the AE shift actuator circuit. The connector appears to be a 'Weather Pack' type connector usually reserved for critical circuits. Do the wires exit the back of the connector through round rubber plugs that would seal the wire pass through?{glennizen 14 October 2014 - 01:27 PM}
...Also: I have yet to identify this connector:
Any thoughts?

Yes, thank you. Looking more at the wiring diagram in the service manual, it looks like it could be a connector to a YCC-S control relay. Perhaps the relay is missing? Maybe someone took it off and didn't put it back on?
if you add to this thread later, including this info in the original question will speed things up.

Yeah, thanks Admin. That is why I opened a separate thread for a separate issue after the first one was resolved quite quickly. You know, I read the forum rules (as many as I could find that is. There are dead links in the forum rules read this, etc.) And I didn't see anything prohibiting a member from posting separate threads for separate topics. Is that a rule? Did I break some forum law? Because my thread is all jumbled now. It is a mess.
AND, I just tried to update the first post in the thread. The "Edit" option isn't available. That's lovely.

Yeah, it looks like I confused Brown w/ Green in the wiring diagram I have. The resolution isn't great.
Looking at pg 2 of the wiring diagram in the manual, it looks like it could be to a Starting Circuit Relay. That would make sense.

Thanks Ionbeam. I'm thinking it is a connector to a missing Starting Circuit Relay.

Well, I had to download and read the Owner's Manual to find out that I have to apply the brake in order for the starter to engage. !
This is the first bike that I've ever encountered where that was necessary. So it works now. Now I need to put fresh fuel in it and see if it will run
Still don't know what the connector goes to.

Good catch! I guess it's second nature, so nobody suggested it.Well, I had to download and read the Owner's Manual to find out that I have to apply the brake in order for the starter to engage. !This is the first bike that I've ever encountered where that was necessary.

You can run it up through the gears on the centre-stand if you want to check the gear changing system.
Beware starting it for a few seconds then switching off. Can easily flood, then be very reluctant to start.
I still can't find what that connector is for. Nowhere on the diagram can I find anything with 4 wires of those colours. But if the bike runs ok and no error codes show up, it should be good.
I suppose it could have been added to monitor something on the test bike. Do its wires disappear into the main loom, or do they run separately from the main loom as if added after manufacture?

EDIT doesn't kick in until you get more posts under your belt.
The multithreads isn't a rule but in this case it seems confusing to some in that they are hitting to soon after each other about the same project.
[as a member comment] Before spending ANY more money on this bike, I would go to DMV and make sure you have your new VIN in place. You might spent a ton on this and find out it can't be made street-able for some reason.

Hmmm, okay. Edit works just fine on my other posts. I've been editing the crap out of them when I need to place updates or fix errors. So, dunno what that's about.
I am aware of the potential issues w/ the DMV. I have investigated it and found there is a process for re-VINing bikes like this. No, that doesn't mean there isn't some other rule prohibiting it. I have less than $1000 in the bike. If I can get the motor running it will sell for a lot more if I have to part it out. Or, I have also looked into buying a new frame. They are available on eBay for around $600.
But thanks for the heads up. I appreciate it
Regarding the mystery connector: The White w/ Blue stripe and Yellow w/ Blue stripe run into the Main ECU. The Black and Brown run into the loom.
I read one of the threads about flooding the bike and WOT to get it to start.
I just put a couple of gallons of fresh gas into it, checked for spark (it has good, strong spark), and tried to start it. It hiccuped one time. That is the first time it has reacted with compression, so I consider that a positive. But that was it. It isn't showing any indication of even trying to start. That doesn't surprise me. It has been sitting so long that it probably has gummed up injectors. I will probably have to clean them.

One thing- you referred a couple times to this bike being an auto shift model. It is not. It has an electric clutch, thus no clutch lever, but you must still shift gears yourself by using either the foot shifter or the finger-actuated paddle lever. It will not shift gears on its own.

Yes, I got that. Thanks. I know it won't shift itself. Pardon me for the poor terminology.

Before you proceed to the next stage, have you cleared the faults within the ECU ?
Might make it easier to fault find.
Diagnostic 60 &61 will show any history and diagnostic 62 should clear them.
