FJRF009.1: Intermittent Ground Wire

[RadioHowie]

Still, 9850 units sold in the U.S. over a four year span is NOT a great sign of sales success. Sad. :sadsmiley:

One of the issues is clean contact avoiding oxygen and other contaminants. Die Electric Silicon Grease at these connections will insure protection against atmospheric contamination.

I believe at least one Ground Spider failure was reported by an owner some miles after he took the time to inspect and clean all ground spiders and they pack with di-electric grease upon re-assembly.

More than one, mine was exactly that kind of case.

True dat. 2500/year doesn't seem like a lot, although we don't have anything to compare it with. I'd like to know how many Concours Kawi sold last year in the US.
