Howabusa

It's a concept not a real bike. I still miss my 2006 Hayabusa. It was so quick!

Ordered a t shirt.

My ground issue has been fixed, thanks to PhilD'oh! I rode up to his place and he fixed it, with a little help from me. We also figured out that the Yamaha recall for the S4 ground had already been done. Thanks Phil! It was a great day! Got my FJR fixed and met a fellow FJR rider!

Yes. I heard that he doesn't make those harnesses anymore. PhiD'oh! his going to help me out.

I am in!

So, when I pull the spider ground bar out and put it back together, this is why it starts working again. All the grease does is seal the connection. Okay, I said I suck at electrical. Lol.

Thanks.

No, I need to get it soldered with a jumper run to the battery. For now I just carry dielectric grease and the tools to pull the fairing off.

Ended up riding a little over 200 miles, today. I started out on my local twisties route and then explored some new roads coming back from the Wooster area. The FJR now has 68,000 miles on it.

Anybody riding tomorrow, 8/27?

Trade you!

Don't tempt me! I used to live in Toledo. And I suck at electrical!

I might give the FJR and a list of shit that needs done to you in a couple months.

I have never soldered anything in my life. The only electrical work that do is crimp or plug. I suck!

You suck! Pauly

Okay. These ground spiders are known to actually melt. From what I can find there's 6 wires with one being a ground wire. This ground wire is grounding the other 5 circuits. Mine has not melted but there is some scorching inside the plug. I assume that is the ground wire. So that wire's connection is loose. When it quits working I taking the cap off and pull the grounding bar, add some grease and put it together. Fixed. I wonder if the storm that rode through in Kentucky washed the dielectric out. The forum guys say to solder all the wires together and add a wire to run to the negative battery post.

Okay, my spider ground issue has now reappeared twice. I have to pull the left side front fairing off and pull the cap off of the spider ground and grease it up with dielectric grease, that solves it temporarily. The corner of the plastic housing has a black spot, so I am assuming that it is somewhat burned. So, how do I fix this problem permanently?

Thanks for today, Ninjadoc. Awesome route. I had a smile on my face the whole day. You are a good rider, you just need to stop doubting yourself! Like I said, I would follow you anytime.

Jusr got home. 376 miles for the day. I followed Ninjadoc for 100 miles, nice route! Good day of riding. Ninjadoc is fast! First time that we ever rode together.

Ninjadoc and myself will be meeting at the Fuel Mart in New Concord at noon, if anyone wants to join us.

Anybody want to ride this coming Saturday, 8/12? I will be out riding, for sure. The wife is spending the day with 2 of her needy grown children.

I made it home around 2:30 pm. When I got up this morning it had rained over night. Rode in the rain for about an hour and a half. I stayed pretty dry, until I got splashed by cars driving through puddles. Oh well, a day of riding in some rain is better than working!

Nice bikes that I can't afford.

Tony, you sure go through a lot of bikes!

I have always wanted to go to Barber and see the motorcycle museum. I am thinking a 4 day trip ought to be enough time. May do this in the next couple of weeks.
