2006: “2006 Yamaha fjr 1300 a. Wire connection near fuel tank corroded and was melting. Headlamps quit, along with horn, turn signals. Engine would miss with the turn signal switch in the left or right position. I was in the dark, when the lights quit. I have heard of other fjr 1300 owners with the same problem.”
