Consumer Description

THIS FAILURE OCCURRED ON A 2006 YAMAHA FJR1300A MODEL. AFTER RIDING MOTORCYCLE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS I STOPPED FOR A MEAL BREAK. WHEN I TRIED TO START MOTORCYCLE IT WOULD NOT RESTART. INSTRUMENTS WERE FLASHING INDICATING AN ELECTRICAL ERROR. MOTORCYCLE NEEDED TO BE TRAILER HOME. UPON INSPECTION BY AN AUTHORIZED YAMAHA DEALER IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE AN OVERHEATED, MELTING, GROUND JUNCTION IN THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS. YAMAHA CORP. AUTHORIZED A REPLACEMENT OF THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED WHILE THE MOTORCYCLE WAS UNDER POWER THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE SHUT DOWN POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. *TR
