[QUOTE="bramfrank, post: 967070, member: 2163"] They have a 'diagnostic system' for the FJR? I see no reference to one in the service manual. I would start by saying that based on the issues you report there is no way that it can be the ECU - the machine is old school as far as the impacted parts of the electrical system is concerned. When the issue was simply a personal crusade I had calculated that rate of total failure for FJRs in the affected series appeared seemed to have been around 15% at the time (based on the number of failures reported in the original thread on the FJRF009 topic) . . . the key may be in the phrase you quoted; 'that far gone'. I suppose they could have let some marginal units out the door and it might come back to bite them. But, based on the symptoms you reported I am confident it will prove not to have been the only Spider that Yamaha looks at (S4), but rather that one of the others has burned up. If I'm right it will be interesting to see whether Yamaha steps up or whether you get a bill for the service. [/QUOTE]
