[QUOTE="un4gvn, post: 540426, member: 1827"] Quite a few things get their ground at that particular junction. The headlights are one of them. From what I have seen, the people that have this failure typically ride with their high beams on most of the time. I do not think that this junction can handle that type of current load over long periods of time (tens of thousands of miles). Another of the componets that gets its ground through that junction is the fuel pump. <----So you can understand why there could be a performance issue once the ground junction is burnt/damaged. Like I said....I really don't have enough data to say that is whats causing the failure, but I've seen enough to make an educated guess. I had my 06 (70,000 miles) on the lift today to replace the spark plugs, and decided to check the ground junction out. Mine is perfectly fine, and I almost never ride with the high beams on (like being stealthy I guess). On another note, I did decide to check the compression while the plugs were out and the bike still has the same readings as I got at around 8,000 miles! She's a keeper. [/QUOTE]
