What owners report
BIKE LOST HEADLIGHTS (AGAIN). I'VE HAD ELECTRICAL FIXES UNDER RECALL AND THIS CONTINUES. HAD IGNITION REPLACED, GROUND FAULT WORK DONE, ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS REPLACED AND NOW IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED AGAIN WITHOUT LIGHTS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO LOSE YOUR HEADLIGHTS. ITS A KNOWN RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH THIS BIKE. HIGH BEAM INDICATOR STAYS ON, STRANGE FLASHING TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS REMAIN ON, NO WINDSHIELD MOTOR CONTROL, NO HEADLIGHTS, NO HIGH OR LOW BEAM. YAMAHA NEEDS TO COME UP WITH PROPER FIX FOR THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. A QUICK READ ON THE FJR1300 FORUM SHOWS THIS RECURRENT PROBLEM IS HITTING MANY.
I COMMUTE ON MY MOTORCYCLE NEARLY EVERY DAY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THIS IS THE REASON I HAVE A MOTORCYCLE. MY WORK START TIME IS AT 5:30AM SO I COMMUTE TO WORK IN THE DARK YEAR ROUND. I ALSO TRAVEL A SECTION OF ROAD THAT TAKES ME THROUGH A 6 MILE CANYON THAT HAS NO STREET LIGHTING SO THE ROAD IS COMPLETELY DARK AND HAS MANY TURNS WHILE TRAVELING AT NEAR THE 65MPH SPEED LIMIT. TWO WEEKS AGO WHILE TRAVELING THIS SECTION I FLIPPED THE HEADLIGHT BRIGHTS SWITCH WHICH CAUSED MY HEADLIGHTS TO GO COMPLETELY OUT. FLIPPING THE SWITCH BACK TO NORMAL LIGHTS DID NOT TURN THEM BACK ON. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES DURING DOWN THE CANYON AND TWICE MORE UNTIL I
HEADLIGHTS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AS THIS OCCURRED WHILE UNDERWAY AT NIGHT. THE DEFECT OCCURRED IN WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE S6 SPIDER - A SPIDER BEING A GROUND WIRE COLLECTOR CIRCUIT ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED FOR OTHER SPIDER FAILURES, BUT THE SPIDER AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT AMONG THE ONES DEALT WITH. *TR
HAD THE RECALL DONE ON THIS BIKE PER THE RECALL LETTER. ON OCT 18 2012 LOST ALL LIGHTS...WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET BIKE HOME FOUND A GROUND CONNECTOR HAD MELTED. THE FIX BY YAMAHA DO NOT (THE BIKE NEEDS A NEW WIRE HARNESS NOT A JUMPER. *TR
RIDING IN WESTERN VIRGINIA, ON A WARM SATURDAY AFTERNOON, I NOTICED MY TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE BOTH ON, AND FLASHED WEIRDLY WHEN I USED THEM. I ALSO LOST THE ELECTRIC ADJUSTABLE WINDSHIELD, AND DISCOVERED WHEN I STOPPED THAT I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. THIS WAS PAINFUL BECAUSE THE RIDE I WAS ON INVOLVED A LOT OF NIGHT TIME RIDING. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED DURING THE DAY AND I WAS ABLE TO USE MY AUXILIARY LIGHTS THAT NIGHT. UPON DIS-ASSEMBLY, A GROUND SPIDER (S6) UNDER THE NOSE OF THE BIKE, NOT COVERED OR INSPECTED BY THE CURRENT RECALL WAS BURNED TO A CRISP. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD HAD I LOST MY LIGHTS AT SPEED, AT NIGHT ON A TWISTY MOUNTAIN ROAD. *TR
