Posi-taps suck My sub-harness takes it's power from the battery using crimped (and soldered) ring terminals - there is a 30 amp inline fuse located outboard of the battery in series with the power. I have a 50 amp automotive relay that is operated from the brake light to provide switched power...

REPORT THE PROBLEM TO THE NHTSA

Thank you for sharing.

If the jumper was done and the harness still blew up you need to document the failure with the NHTSA, specifically detailing that the 'protective fix' provided as a remedy by Yamaha has failed (as was predicted). There is serious danger to life and property of both the rider and to others on...

Your dealer can tell you . . .

Wasn't it insured? Have the airline replace it.

What's the idle RPM set to?

This *might* be considered a design defect - since the ECU is code controlled, they *could* have set it up to not allow the engine to be started with the sidestand down and the bike in gear, but to ignore the input once the machine is rolling faster than 'n' mph, where 'n' is a relatively small...

Save your money and go buy a Yuasa AGM - the 5 pounds you saved by going lithium-iron won't make any measurable difference in the bike's performance and you will find it cranks better when cold and, even if you need to replace it sooner than you might have with this newer technology, cheaper...

Are you ABSOLUTELY certain that it isn't your battery? I ask because my tale of woe seemed to have doomed me to replace a starter when in fact I'd been through 3 bad batteries in a row. I had done my research and settled on a Motobat battery - when it came in and after charging it would start...

The FJR has a rear brake?

Yuasa, and ONLY Yuasa.

The grips are in series, so they each get the same amount of power. But the electrical system on the Gen-II has issues, so if they got hot, but no longer do better than 'warm' you might want to be checking out grounds and such . . .

Actually the flash rate doesn't matter . . . . modulators extend filament life because they don't actually switch off the power, but ramp the voltage from 17% of battery to full on 240 or so times per minute - because they never switch off completely and because there is no current inrush as...

No. It isn't. And he won't have been the first - never done it myself, mind you.

Do you have the bulb connectors plugged in upside down?

The proper remedy for this failure, however was to perform the second stage work, replacing the entire harness, since the original recall was in effect never performed and S4 was now well and truly burned. This was reportedly NOT done, and because the machine is exposed to the elements and to...

Thanks for your suggestions, but you might want to give the topic on FB a read.

We've just had a report of an S6 or S7 failure on a 2011 FJR in the UK on the FJR Owner's group on Facebook . . . . . . https://www.facebook.com/groups/fjrowners/permalink/10153933475095367/

Another vote for headlight modulators . . . . as to whether they're legal or not - as long as they all flash at the same time, 4-6 times per second and don't actually switch from full off to full on, they are legal for daytime use (and they require ambient light detection so they switch off...
