Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2007 YAMAHA FJR 1300 MOTORCYCLE THAT HAS GROUND SPIDER FAILURE. I FIRST EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM IN JUNE WHILE ON A RIDE FROM SAN DIEGO TO OREGON. THE CIRCUIT WITH MY RUNNING LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS WENT OUT. THE FUSE BURNED AND IT WOULD NOT ACCEPT A NEW FUSE WITHOUT BURNING IT OUT. IT STARTED WORKING CORRECTLY AGAIN ON ITS OWN AND WE FINISHED OUR TRIP. I RODE A FEW TIMES AFTER THAT THEN PARKED IT DURING THE SUMMER HEAT TO DO MAINTENANCE. THE BIKE WAS DOWN FOR A FEW MONTHS WHILE I WAS BUSY AT WORK AND I JUST FINISHED MAINTENANCE THIS WEEK AFTER TWO MONTHS. ON MY TEST RIDE I NOTICED THE RUNNING LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS WERE OFF. I CHECKED THE FUSE FOR THAT CIRCUIT AND IT WAS BLOWN. I THEN DECIDED TO CHECK THE GROUND SPIDERS SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTED FAILURES ON THE FJRFORUM.COM DISCUSSION BOARD. I FOUND A BURNED GROUND SPIDER AND WIRES. *TR
