[QUOTE="moneill, post: 100142, member: 876"] THe problem with my 03 FJR dying has never happened again. Weird! I do believe the final conclusion has to be the ignition and I remember a thread in 2004 regarding failed ignition switches. My key is very difficult to turn in the ignition (good theft device) and I am certain it is going to fail. Once coming off the ferry there was no way I could turn the bike on with the key so I had to sit and wait. Finally did the hokey pokey and it turned! Pretty crappy if I had to hotwire my own bike. I have never had a bike with a crappy ignition switch and I dread having to carry two keys. I am going to price out best rrice for a new switch and then decide if I really want to fight Yamaha on a non-warranty ignition failure. Gotta believe that this is a defect in the switch though since I never have seen anything like this. What a ******* !!! Anyone got free fix ideas? Could be a real safety issue? [/QUOTE]
