Striping off my fairing, for better access to swap out my frt end with an R1 frt end, I found the wiring loom feed to the clocks, between the headlamps, had started to fret through on contact with the fairing. see photo.
Caught just in time as the loom tape was worn through and it was wearing the insulation, bike is an 03 and has done 35k, as far as I'm aware this is the first time the fairing has been off. Might be worth checking on bikes of a similar age and milage.
Yamaha had put additional protection further down the loom but not here where the loom is uncontrolled
e has done 35k
