There is a potential problem area in the wiring harness, just behind the rear shock absorber pre-load adjustment found on the right side of the engine. If you remove the adjuster and use an additional cable tie and some extra tape around the harness you can prevent a potential electrical short that typically happens as you are starting the motorcycle, burning the wires that go to the starter.
