[QUOTE="PA1195, post: 547519, member: 2660"] Thanks Brodie - good stuff. My new FJR will still have your relay as a backup. I'm guessing it'll end up costing Yamaha close to a million bux after it's all over. Let's see: about 9300 affected bikes times roughly $100 ($40 parts and $60 labor), plus unknown re-engineering and related production costs. And then there's the current problem of FJR unavailability that my Dealer recently mentioned. Will call Yamaha on that tomorrow. There's a lesson here somewhere, especially when an early admission of an issue and a prompt fix would have saved them some money. They did raise the price $600 for 2009 for the heck of it, but now it's down back $500 until the end of March, presumably due to slowing sales and other "adjustments". Maybe that's why their managers won't be getting a bonus this year, and four day work weeks for the rest. Hope they recover ok, and thanks Yamaha for the fix. Gary in Fairbanks. [/QUOTE]
