This an update to my 07 FJRae I was still having problems when I got bike back from dealers. On Monday afternoon I started bike, it ran for maybe 5 minutes and then I noticed the abs light come then a minute later my display went blank, then the tach wasn't working then bike stalled.

I called dealer again and he told me to bring it in on Friday. So I charged battery and took bike back to dealers, on the way to dealers on the highway about 3/4 the way there the abs light comes on, I said here we go and I started thinking of ways how I was going to get this bike to the dealers, anyway alittle while after the display shut down, then the tach and I had no power, I started to coast to side of highway and then all of sudden everything came back on and it ran fine, I made it to the dealers no problem. I told dealer my story and he thinks it could be a short. I told him the only things I did to bike was have you do the ignition recall and I changed my seat. Could it be the ignition? This really starting to piss me off

 
Pat...my bet`s on the ignition switch (especially if there was no problem before the dealer did the work....assuming it was actually done!). I would be pissed off too...stand yer ground. :assassin:

 
make sure they check the ground connectors in the harness. there have been several genII's with melted ground connecters showing a range of intermittent symptoms.
