[QUOTE="iboldguy, post: 607697, member: 14912"] I think this is an example of Japanese philosophy of only using the minimum that will do. For example - on Japanese bikes you will rarely see a grade 8 bolt where they figure a grade 5 will do. These melting connections cause is what? Too much current and fuse has not blown? Too light gauge wire for the current and it has heated up? A crap crimp/solder job where a couple of strands of a multistrand wire are carrying the current? The engineer who did the wireing calculations fucked up? Corrosion in the connection leading to heating up? All the above could be fixed at manufacture - heavier wire, better connectors, corrosion protection etc - by not trying to minimize everything. Maybe (likely) the harness is put together in China and shipped to Japan with crap quality control or sub spec. components. Has this problem been seen in other Yamahas? [/QUOTE]
