“I was riding home from work in the dark on my 2007 Yamaha FJR1300 motorcycle on a unlit, curvy, rural road when both my headlights suddenly died. Although I was able to avoid crashing, this is a huge safety concern. I am a 30 year experienced auto/motorcycle mechanic and certified as an aircraft mechanic, so I troubleshot and found the headlight failure was caused by an overheated/burned grounding connector located in the wiring harness above the left headlight shell (burnt connector and/or photo available on request). …”
NHTSA complaint #10413801, filed 2011-07, 32,328 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10725381, filed 2015-06, 45,000 miles“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.”
