An official CAA Japan notice concerns Motorcycle (Yamaha XSR900) - Repair. Due to a defect in the electrical wiring (main harness). ■Defective part (component name): Electrical wiring (main harness). ■Description and cause of the structure, equipment or performance considered noncompliant with standards: In the main harness, the method of securing the protective sheet around the electrical wiring is inappropriate, so repeated handlebar operation may cause the wiring to become exposed from the protective sheet. If use continues in this condition, the exposed wiring may contact surrounding components. In the worst case, the wires may break, causing the lights (headlight, turn signals, taillight, etc.) or horn to stop working, or causing the engine to stop and become unable to restart. Published 2016-05-12.
What to do now
(Recall)3811 ■Corrective measures: Inspect the electrical wiring in the main harness on all vehicles. If no damage is found, wrap the protective sheet with tape to secure it. If damage is found, replace the main harness with one whose protective sheet has been wrapped with tape and secured.
