Well, as of late I've had "minor" (aka, I hate you and want to drop you off a bridge) electrical problems with my bike. This all stems back to this: http://www.nestreetriders.com/forum/...threadid=18185
Finally tore the bike down tonite out of sheer curiousity and removed the whole harness. I'm just going to eat it and pay the $240 they want at the local Yamaha dealership for a new OEM harness. I'd feel better its new rather than finding another 10+ year old harness on ebay, and still end up paying $100+ for that anyways. Was just about how I summed up the job, had to remove all the body work, pull the airbox and gas tank and pretty much the whole harness was accessible. With an hour trip to town for errands, the whole thing probably took me 3.5 hours including cleanup this evening.
Heres some pics, since I know you guys like naked bikes.
The almost totally stripped Fizzer:
All my shit strewn everywhere:
Just a small taste of the damage. Nearly the entire harness had these 2 blue wires completely melted and burnt through to other wires. I honestly have no idea how the bike even still ran after cut all the loom and tape off and seeing the actual condition of it:
And heres what I think of the harness :
