Hey guys I'm new here I've owned a couple R6's and one 04 R1, I'm very familiar with the tear down of the Yamahas and I've done plenty of work on my cousions 09 R1. Now I just bought a 2014 R1 that has some front end damage and I'm in the process of just tearing the bike down to see what all exactly I will need, it's not much at all I just want to thoroughly inspect the bike in and out. The bike came with no headlight but there's a wire hanging down close to the horn by the right fork, it's one cord that splits like a "Y". Whatever connection that came on it is stripped now so it's just two wires there I'd like to know if anybody knows what this wire is so I can splice the proper connector in from Yamaha. Any help would be appreciated , the connection in question is circled below.
That's what I thought, but it's on the main harness, not the headlight harness. That is the the right side radiator fan.
Like I said, mine has the factory fixed headlight harness and not the recalled harness. Might be part of the difference. What's you manufacture date? Mine is 01/14.
Mine is just outside the recall range by about 200 units, so it has the updated harness which may be slightly different (not sure what all they changed).
Ok kool I'll have to check it out when I'm home , so basically your saying as long as both of my fans are connected and everything else is good just ignore the harness or so I need the new harness from Yamaha ?
So, I found a pic of a harness just like that... 09-11, not 12-14, it's a different harness. To confirm I pulled up my dealer's part schematics and compared 11 to 14, 09-11 have four connectors, 12-14 have three connectors. You have an extra connector since the 12-14 position indicator connector comes off the main harness. Just ignore it. Although you may have the recalled headlight connector.
Humm intresting , thank buddy..here's he thing .. When I first ordered the headlight harness I ordered one from a 2009 not knowing the 12-14s had a different part number, when I realized that I canceled that order then went to the OEM schematics and looked up the part number the. Went to Ebay and found the one I have now which on the ad it said it came from a 2012 so I figured I was good since they specifically said it was from a 2012, I didn't check the part number I don't believe but soon as I'm home I'll confirm, I'm gonna go to the listing now and see
Ijust checked the part numbers from my harness I ordered vs the harness from a 2009 and the part numbers are the same meaning I bought the wrong harness AGAIN.. Smh so basically I can just ignore that loose connection ? I just made it home and my production date says 10-13, my right side fan is also connected so it's actually not that
Kool buddy thanks for all the help ... I guess it's time to start putting it all together .. Build thread coming soon
