Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lawrence" data-source="post: 1467622" data-attributes="member: 17912">Sounds like the GenII wiring harness recall symptoms ?? I'd would have hoped Yammy would have improved harness a bit to avoid a repeat. then again... sometimes things just happen... and it is a 10yr old bikethe clean, much more expensive route, would be to replace the associated wiring harness...  but other than negligible extra weight of the new/extra single grounding wire, seems like a cost-effective approach.. the only concern I'd have is if that new wire properly labelled/secured (that is, a few years from now, another mechanic works on bike and you are there to pass on this story, will it be obvious what that extra cable is there for, and why?)Also, Just something to keep in the 'back of your mind' - after local dealer replaced my GenII wiring harness due to recall, less than a year later the bike wouldn't start (no starter motor, fuel pump, etc)... required a tow. Turns out the replacement wiring harness had not been fully/properly plugged in below the seat, and that connection/plug worked itself out over time (presumably not properly latched). As for Belgium and languages, yea my cousins (southern central area of Belgium), all speak 5+ languages.The old joke of speaking three languages = tri-lingual, 2=bi-lingual, etc, 1= American   Counter-point, per Europeans, is they speak that many languages because they have to, not that they want/like to.And I laughed at the number of times with a large European group, where the common language was English, that I had to repeat everyone's comments so everyone else could understand (they all understood SoCal/Hollywood English just fine, each other's accents and other american accents, not so much, especially if folks from eastern europe involved)</blockquote>
