Have my 06 AE back on the road. Yamaha of Cucamonga installed the New OEM main electrical harness. All functions worked like new wwhen I started the bike. FYI, there are 6 of the shunt grounds in the harness. Only the most forward connector near left of the steering head was corroded and burned. YOC guys did a great job.
TurboDave,
First, CONGRATS!!! Did the Yamaha's customer service give your dealer grief about replacing the wire harness? On my bike they seem to want to replace every thing else (and the problem still persists).
I wish I lived near your dealer. My bike is now at the 3rd Yamaha dealer since last August (so far 4 months in the shop) and yet another electrical failure this weekend (~400 miles from home).
I sent this link to the customer service rep @ Yamaha's customer service asking why they just don't replace my bike's electrical harness and I was told that:
1) Yamaha's techies don't put much faith into what is said on the Internet forums...
2) I could mention to the new dealer to take it with Yamaha's technical support if they honestly thought replacing the wire harness would fix the problem.
Since the new dealer just picked the bike up yesterday, I do need to go give them a chance.... if this doesn't work, I am thinking about putting together a photo journey of my FJR across Texas and sent the link to Yamaha corporate... I am sure they would love to see the pictures of my bike on a flatbed :blink: :angry2: :dribble: !
Best Regards,
Shane
