Cylinder 4 Injector coupler?

[jmgrif]

While trying to remove the valve cover, I used a rubber mallet to tap the valve cover that seemed stuck? I broke the coupler from the wiring harness side, that plugs into the injector! Are these parts available and if so where? Eastern Beaver? I'm looking for a part # and will update if I find the right one.

Thanks

Mark

We zap strapped the plug and wrapped with electrical tape but it's not my bike! I'm helping a friend but I swung the mallet?

Are you talking about the electrical connector on the injector, or the connector that unplugs from the injector? In either case it's not a separate part. In the first instance, it's part of the injector, and if you're talking about the connector on the harness, then the harness will have to be replaced.

If you want it fixed better than the strap-n-wrap you've already done.

Are you serious? The whole harness has to be replaced for one connector? At least for the moment the connection is tight and the bike runs well! I'm hoping Eastern Beaver can supply a part, even if it includes the injector? Here's hoping! Thanks, Mark

p.s. Did I mention it's not my bike! I was trying to help a friend save a few bucks!

I'd be surprised if you have to purchase an injector as well as the plastic electrical connector.

Since the injectors on the FJR are more than likely used on other vehicles, and other injectors probably share the same electrical connector type, I'll wager it won't be too difficult to repair.

If soldering is required, take appropriate safety precautions!

Oh, yeah. REALLY make sure there's no damage whatsoever to the injector!

That's the only way you can get it from Yamaha. You might find an electrical parts place that carries connectors, and you might even find the same connector. No telling how many of them you'd have to order from them, though. Places like that love their minimum orders!

Mark - definitely try and track down the connector from Eastern Beaver. You'll need to buy / borrow a pin extractor to get the connector off the pins but it should be a straight replacement.

In my searches, I also found Cycle Terminal for OEM Japanese connectors in addition to EB.

Good luck.

This site has ground spider connectors that reportedly fit, maybe you can find what you need there. Ride on over for lunch, I have the tools for the pins and sockets.

If nothing else call the bike scrap yard that sells the FJR engines on ebay and have them cut you an injector connector out. I can not imagine they will charge you more than a few dollars.

Great find for OE style connectors, bookmarked - thanks.

Get a wiring harness from eBay and splice the connector in.

I'd love to take the credit but another fella on the Owners forum posted it up and I did the same- bookmarked it, thinking of making a Brody-type harness for my spider bite prone '07. So far I've dodged that bullet but...

Thanks guys! The part that broke is the grey clip that holds the connector together. It is on the harness and no damage was done to the connection itself! We have jury rigged the two parts together but sooner or later that will fail with vibration more than anything. But, success, I have found and purchased the harness I require on Ebay, used but exactly what I need. It plugs into the main harness and simply carries the four plugs to the injectors. Should be here in a week or so?

Glad it worked out.

Tip: When you need to use an impact force to release a stubborn part, place a piece of wood or plastic, (dowel or similar), against the part to be freed, and strike that instead of directly hitting the part. This gives you more control, and reduces the chance of inadvertent damage.

Glad it worked out Mark. I need to remember Ebay more often when parts hunting...

Good tip! I was using a rubber mallet though! A small one at that?
