Do you kept any photos of this process.
Just dropped my S10 off to have the new wiring harness installed. Will update after I pick it back up. Fingers crossed that this corrects the problem.I bought my 2012 Super Ten this past June. It's been over 100 degrees here in Texas so I only put about 300 miles on my Big Blue Beast. Rode my bike 3 days to work this week and noticed a sticky idle. Meaning it behaved as if the throttle cables were getting pinched on a carburated bike. The idle was erratic up and down, died several times, hard to restart and tweeky.
I wanted to say Thank You to all of you who posted here because it was a huge time saver! Went by my local Yamaha dealerr and informed him of what the symptoms were and that there was an outstanding recall on the wire harness. He checked my VIN and the previous owner I'm guessing, decided to pass the problem on to the other guy, which turned out to be me. Got the harness ordered and will be scheduling my Recall service to be done soon. I'll update the differences when I return...hope it's a night and day difference and idles smooth as butter.

Can't believe what a difference that harness has made. Thinking back it died twice at the dealer and of course the tech rode it and it was fine until it wasn't...it's smooth, responsive and fires up everytime. Thanks again for this thread.Just dropped my S10 off to have the new wiring harness installed. Will update after I pick it back up. Fingers crossed that this corrects the problem.

Glad it worked out! That was my experience as well with my recalled '12. Although it seemed to run fine before, after the fix it was like getting a new bike.Can't believe what a difference that harness has made.
