YAMAHA FJR MOTORCYCLE. MOTORCYCLE ENGINE WILL NOT CRANK OR START. PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE A DEFECTIVE ELECTRICAL GROUND SPLICE LOCATED NEAR THE LEFT FRONT UPPER CORNER OF THE ENGINE. INSPECTION REVEALED THE ELECTRICAL GROUND, GROUP SPLICE HAD OVERHEATED AND BURNT WITH ASSOCIATED BURNT WIRES. THIS MOTORCYCLE HAS SEVERAL OF THESE TYPES OF ELECTRICAL GROUND SPLICES AND THERE HAVE BEEN INTERNET REPORTS OF MANY FAILURES, NOT ALL OF THEM THE SAME SPLICE I HAD A PROBLEM WITH.
