[QUOTE="Delboy, post: 1218560, member: 87130"] I purchased a used 07 last year. I had the local dealer do the recalls, which included the wiring harness and ignition. In August the starter solenoid went out. I had this replaced. When I started the bike this Monday (3/23/15) the high beam indicator was on, the hazards were on, the windscreen motor did not work, and the headlight did not work. The local dealer says its a ground fault. Yamaha will cover the parts, and the dealer needs to submit a claim for labor to fix this. I also have a small noise that seems to be coming from below the timing chain cover. (It is hard to describe the noise) The dealer has checked the timing chain for alignment, and he has check the timing tensioner. All ok. (I think I may need to record the noise and post it). I think the bike was not cared for very well before I got it. I needed to have the fork seals done. The bike has 32000 miles. This suggest a lot of wheelies? Perhaps the noise is clutch related noise? I love the bike. I want to keep it. But at what point do I say, its time to let it go. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
