[QUOTE="yamafitter, post: 880365, member: 15141"] I may have the first recall in the Great White North. I also have a good connection with the tech support group in Yamaha Canada. My dealer knows that when it comes to electrical issues I have a better understanding of the issues than they do since I was an Instrumentation Tech at the local Nuke Plant and value my input in these matters. They were also surprised to learn that I had knowledge of this issue that goes back at least two years if not more. They had no idea that there was a problem until the memo showed up on their desk since there are only a few FJR's that run out of their shop and I do all my own maintenance so they have not seen my FJR in a while (there is no YES program in Canada). I looked at the Yamaha part and we discussed options. I have the Brodie Harness and with the application of dielectric grease the harness resolves any corrosion or resistive issues in my professional opinion. Some engineers don't consider the Brodie Harness to be of a robust design but I don't have a high opinion of a large number of engineers, especially electrical engineers. It was my job as a Instrumentation Technologist to take the dumb ass engineers scribblings and make something that actually worked. I also am not concerned about being reimbursed for my installation of the Brodie Harness. My dealer was willing to sign off on the Brodie harness and consider the recall complete. Given the anal-retentive nature of the legal profession in the United States I seriously doubt my American friends will have the same experience. [/QUOTE]
