Entire fuel gauge flashing

[Spook]

Do all or any of you who have had this failure have extra electrical equipment wired into you system and if so how is it wired in?

Ok, pick up bike late on Friday. Put about 100 miles on yesterday to see how it ran. Just like before all of this went down. Great!!! The description on my reciept is "1 wire harness assy" part #3p6-82590-10-00 The real spooky part is: What caused this??? Will it happen again? I really like this motorbike and have plans to keep a long time. 23k currently. Will keep the faith and hope this will solve the problem. It took a bit longer than estimated buy overall I am happy with the dealer.

It seems if I want my bike FIXED, I need to have it fail on the West Coast !

Glad Yamaha did the right thing by you ... I am STILL WAITING!

Best Regards,

Shane

Thank god for threads like this one. Not like the "How Old Are You" or "Does Your Significant Other Ride?" threads. Those are SO ghey, I got a yeast infection just reading the damn things.

I found this thanks to your post. I turned the key on, no fuel pump sound, high beam stuck on and entire fuel gauge flashing. I installed and electric jacket connection a few rides a go but that goes straight to the battery. Maybe the extra charging current some hows goes through this ground block. it didn't look corroded but somehow the high resistance caused it to heat up, melt and open the circuit.

Another infamous '07 Spider bite. You have much reading to do Grasshoppah. Check with your local dealer or with Yamaha directly to see if the electrical harness recall has been done on your bike. Be aware that your electrical system requires some minor maintenance once per yr- no recall or any part thereof will stop this problem from recurring in the future. It's entirely up to you.

My '07 has never had the harness recall done. Never will as long as I own and maintain it.
