FAILURE ON REPAIR OF NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 11V338000 RECALL DATE: JUNE 28,2011 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: 990061 FAILURE DESCRIPTION: ON MONDAY 8/22/2016 , I STARTED EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I WAS STRANDED AND COULD NOT START BIKE. HAVING READ ON 'FJRFORUM.COM ' ABOUT "GROUND WIRE JUNCTION CONNECTION" OR 'GROUND BUSS CONNECTORS' ISSUES AND THE SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM, I SUSPECTED THAT I HAVE A 'GROUND BUSS CONNECTORS' ISSUE. MY BIKE HAD THE RECALL DONE IN 2011. SYMPTOMS: INTERMITTENT A) IGNITION IN ON POSITION, NOT ATTEMPTING TO START BIKE. 1) BRAKE ACTIVATED (EITHER HAND OR FOOT) -> BRAKE LIGHTS WORK NORMALLY AND NO ABNORMAL ACTIVITY 2) RAISE/LOWER WINDSCREEN

HIGH BEAM INDICATOR CAME ON, TURN SIGNALS FAILED TO OPERATE, BIKE WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER STOPPING. THIS WAS ALL CAUSED BY GROUND SPIDER 6 BURNING AND FAILING.

THIS IS A YAMAHA MOTORCYCLE. IT HAS A BLOWN FORK SEAL, WHICH IS A PRETTY COMMON OCCURRENCE. THIS IS IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING. THERE ARE 2 SPECIAL TOOLS NECESSARY TO REPAIR THIS, ACCORDING TO THE FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL. NEITHER OF THESE SPECIAL TOOLS ARE AVAILABLE FROM YAMAHA. THERE ARE NO SUBSTITUTES AVAILABLE EITHER, ACCORDING TO 3 SEPARATE DEALERS AND THE CORPORATE HQ IN CALIFORNIA. THIS IS QUITE A SAFETY RISK, AS I CANNOT PROPERLY REPAIR THE SUSPENSION, AND THIS WILL AFFECT THE STABILITY/CONTROLLABILITY OF THE BIKE. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE BRAKES, AS FLUID CAN LEAK ONTO THE ROTOR/PADS AND REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS. *TR

THE FUEL TANK CAP ASSEMBLY ALLOWS WATER TO LEAK BY THE RUBBER GASKET INTO THE VENT PIPE. THIS PIPE IS MADE IN SUCH A WAY SO AS TO TRAP WATER IN IT WHEN WASHING OR RIDING IN RAIN. THIS IS THEN EVIDENCED BY A GURGLING SOUND COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK CAP AREA. IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED IT COULD, OVER TIME, CAUSE THE VENT PIPE TO RUST THROUGH. THIS WOULD THEN ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE FUEL TANK AND CONTAMINATE THE FUEL, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP SUDDENLY. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE THE MOTORCYCLE IS BEING RIDDEN IT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. A TEMPORARY FIX IS TO REMOVE THE FUEL TANK CAP ASSEMBLY AND USE HIGH PRESSURE AIR TO BLOW THE WATER OUT OF THE VE

BIKE HAS HAD THE FACTORY RECALL THAT CONNECTS A MORE DIRECT PATH OF BATTERY GROUND TO THE S 4 BUSS. HOWEVER, THIS ONLY HELPED WITH LOAD ON THE COMPONENTS OF THE S4 CONNECTOR. MY LIGHTS WENT OUT BECAUSE THE DOWN STREAM FROM THE S4 CONNECTOR, THE S6 (HAD BURNED CONTACTS) WHICH THE FEED THE S7 CONNECTOR FOR THE LH HEAD LIGHT AND THE S8 CONNECTOR FOR THE RH HEADLIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF CURRENT FROM BOTH LIGHTS THRU ONE PIN AT THE S6 CONNECTOR CAUSE THE CONNECTOR TO BUILD UP HEAT DAMAGE AND KILL THE GROUND PATH FOR BOTH HEADLIGHTS AT THE SAME TIME. *TR
