[QUOTE="Delboy, post: 1219926, member: 87130"] Update. It is a ground fault. Apparently the ground fault is tied to a burned out ground bus near the headlight. A new wiring harness is the main part that is needed to address this problem. As of now, Yamaha has agreed to cover the parts. They agreed verbally with the dealer, but I had to call Yamaha as the paper work was taking too long to approve. On top of this, the dealer has to submit a request to Yamaha to cover the cost of labor. Not sure on this yet. So, I have two wiring harness replacements in one year. The first one was a recall. The bike still has the small noise on the bottom right side of the engine. Its hard to describe. It is intermittent. The timing chain has been inspected. Based on input from this forum I asked the local service department to check what version the cam tensioner is. Well, its a week later and they have not checked it yet. [/QUOTE]
