Appears this fix is scab work to keep from replacing harness.
My bike has no spark now and dealer has to call Yamaha Tuesday.

I wonder if that could be what’s causing your no spark issue ?Service guy found a coil cap that was cracked at bolt down and had silicone sealer on it.
Told them I would address when I do valves in 3000 miles.
No expiration. Have it done now, or in 10 years if you want.Hmmmmm..... guess i like the idea of waiting a bit. I have not had any issues. But, there does seem to be a expiration on these recalls....?
You can always just buy the harness and install yourself. I know it sucks to have to shell out the $35 for the part, but if you would rather do it yourself this is always an option.Looks like I will be taking the bike in for the recall talked to the manager yesterday about getting the parts and doing it myself said he couldn't do that. And my bike has all the symptoms so be glad to have it running correctly again.
That's was my plan but he said he couldn't just sale the part the dealer has to do the job.You can always just buy the harness and install yourself. I know it sucks to have to shell out the $35 for the part, but if you would rather do it yourself this is always an option.
Adventure in Monroe will be doing my '12 next week. As reported, Service Manager says the recall is quite involved and a total PITA to install although he says the instructions are thorough and understandable. They've done two bikes so far w/o issues so I'll take the plunge next.Mine is still dead and they cut 1 wire on programing plug.
Do you have the part number for the harness? I have to do my valve check this winter, and because i'll have the bike apart, i'd rather buy the harness and replace it myself than to have someone hack my bike. I am going to replace the cam chain adn tensioner also (25K miles) 'cause the bike rattles on start up, so if i am in this far, i'll just spend another $35 to do it correctly.You can always just buy the harness and install yourself.

The fix is splicing into the current wiring harness, so your change was the harness, not the current fix. As for the one you have, I would guess it would be how long ago did Yamaha correct the wiring in the "new" Gen 1 wiring harness's. Couple of months/6 months/year? If more than a couple of months, bets would be your harness is not the "newer" version. Guess the mothership would be the only one who could answer that. Great thought would be, what would the recall do to a new harness that was already fixed? Rambling on, Yamaha may just use the harness's they have on hand, and do the fix at the factory if they have a good inventory. It is not like they have a real demand for new harness's.So if this is just the wiring harness replace that i already had done no use in me bringing it back in.
Or is it something more extensive than that?
Anyone have to pay extra to have after market bars removed?
"Loss of control or even death"? Now that sounds like something i told the guy over the phone at USA Yamaha..

I was not charged for my bars having to be taken off/on. Asked prior just to make sure.
My thought would be that the harness you got, probably doesn't have the fix. Just that you have one that is not screwed up, and subject to the recall. But I would confirm with Yamaha. Who knows how long they knew about it, and were silently fixing the issue on the inventory they had, until you and others with the problem forced them.Done February this year.
