    Wiring Harness

  2. I think I'm going to do just that, have them install it even though they quoted me 1 full hour labor to install. Thanks for your input! JRB
  3. Hi All, I'm in a similar situation right now. I have a 2002 VFR non abs, and this time I decided to visit my local Honda dealer for my yearly inspection. Inspection passed. Then they did a VIN check and discovered that both the wiring harness and the PCV valve recalls had not yet been performed. Parts were ordered so I took the bike home and returned it the next week. The PCV valve checked OK but, per Honda, they replaced the wiring harness. When I picked up the bike, a tech asked me when the low beam lights stopped working. He explained that the low beam lights were not working but the high beams were and said it shouldn't have anything to do with the wiring harness that was replaced. He suspected a faulty switch set which I've ordered and may install myself. I asked to see the old wiring harness and I took some pictures which I've attached here. After reading the recall notice, downloaded from VFRD (thank you!!), I was able to determine that no additional wiring harness replacements were necessary (no scorched connectors). I also inspected the old harness for any possible alterations (blue connector fix) that previous owners of my bike might have performed. There didn't seem to be any alterations. My questions are, (1) could the new wiring harness and install of the new wiring harness affect the low beam lights and (2) would you suggest I have the dealer install the new switch set or take the chance of doing it myself, having it not fix the low beam problem and risk having the dealer point blame on me for the continued electrical problem, if one still exists. Thank you in advance, JRB
