    FJR Headlight problem possibly dimmer relay

    Just to let everyone know i didn't attempt surgery again instead i cleaned out that spider and put carbon grease. Everything working well with that grease.

    FJR Headlight problem possibly dimmer relay

    I sprayed out the 2 non spider connectors near the s6. The s6 feels ok by the way. So i dont think the solder has come loose. The s7 was allready showing signs of corrosion and looks burnt a little. It doesn't look any worse than last time though. It gives me an excuse to lubricate the...

    I think its probably in the process of melting the s7. Last time i checked them after the s6 failure the s7 was the only one to show corrosion.

    Yes as the headlight went out the blinker lights and highbeam lights illuminated. Same things as last time when the s6 failed.

    Just to let you know the bikes lights were flickering on and off again tonight. I guess the s7 is on its way out.

    Its running good. Nil issues. Hopefully it stays that way. The fairing seems to hold dirt and moisture next to wires that sit near. I remember when all this trouble started i told my mechanic that moisture could be the problem. He said that yamaha used wiring that was used in there jet skis...

    FJR Headlight problem possibly dimmer relay

    I checked the others in the engine compartment and they look all good no signs of corrosion. I cut off the s6 spider. Slid the trunk wire in and tied the wires togother with a strand from a left over piece from the trunk wire. I then soldered it. I had to buy a a 80w soldering iron as the 30w...

    Thanks for your all your help. Doing this and checking the other spiders will be my task for when i get some spare time. It's killing me driving to work every day.

    Sorry i don't have any experience with electrics. The by pass wire connecting does anyone have a image or link to an image of l. Is it simply just a wire that connects to terminal of the battery. If were are having multiple wires from the spiders will this be cluttered around the battery.

    FJR Headlight problem possibly dimmer relay

    If you see anything that doesn't 'look like new' your best bet is to cut the block off and connect the wires together either by soldering or crimping.<br /> But the s4 is done a little different as it has the main ground wire which has to be attached. It's this right?

    FJR Headlight problem possibly dimmer relay

    Yes there is minor corrosion on s7, s8 looks good still have to look at s6. I'm guessing the s4 is going to be a lot of work to get at just like the others. Does anyone recommend covering the spider block with heat shrink.

    FJR Headlight problem possibly dimmer relay

    Thanks. So have been researching the spider issue. the relay I'm referring to is really the spider block. The one located under the speedo. Does the metal pin thing ie spider pull out? If i do this and put dialectic grease on it will this solve it. Also i haven't looked at the one under the...

    FJR Headlight problem possibly dimmer relay

    My 2010/11 FJR 1300 which I bought new in 2012 has been a great bike but for the last 2 years it has been plagued by a electrical problem. The headlights don't work, the blinkers stay on and the windshield does not work at all(sometimes when the bike is off but electrics are on. Ive had the...
