Good afternoon all
I bought a genuine (advertised as) harness from ebay bob_yp in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
My bike was running fine but had all the usual bodged wiring so bought a harness from bob_yp soon as I fitted it it blew the main & ypvs fuses I checked all my earths and still the same.
I even got two mobile bike mechanics to look at it and both said it’s the harness.
When I asked for a refund I was told not refund nothith wrong with our harness!
Has anyone had any experience of them good or bad?
Thanks
sandy
PS please don't say well you should buy from the far east...I know that now!

I have bought loads of stuff off Bob including 2 wiring harnesses . Never had any problems .
I do have a problem with what he wants to charge for postage now that hes put it up again .
What I want to know is this - If this is all new old stock why does it all look so new ?
Any opinions ?
Ian

Yes it's the harness two mechanics came out and agreed it was the harness, as soon as I said I got it from ebay abroad they just shook their heads.
I have emailed Bob but he does not want to know, basically told me to get stuffed!
It did come in new packaging!
Think I will leave this up to ebay to sort out.

Bought a lot of parts from bob in the past and so have a lot of people. All his parts are genuine yam so there shouldn't be a problem. I would double check all your conections and then phone if still no joy phone a auto electrician. A auto electron can sort out most problems in less than an hr if there anygood. All the main agent motorcycle shops around my area use the one I use they don't bother themselves.

Ian They are not New Old Stock, they are New items because they are still available from Yamaha as are quite a lot of LC parts, some parts are superceeded though so not exactly as per original. NOS in ebay listings are a bit misleading.... |

I have personally meet Bob - Great bloke and he wouldn't rip anyone off.
Bought loads of stuff over the past few years including a 31k loom and had no problems with any of his stuff.

I have bought many parts from Bob in the past. All his items are NOS and is of good quality. He responds almost immediately to queries. Presumably, I feel some thing has gone wrong while doing the wiring.

It is highly unlikely for the loom to be faulty. A lot more likely that something that is plugged in to the loom is causing the problem, or something is plugged in the wrong connector. Unplug whatever is powered by the blown fuse and if a new fuse works fine, then whatever you have unplugged is the cause.

If there's one thing I hate diagnosing it's electrical problems. Only one thing worse is intermittent faults as you never really know when you have fixed them.
Good luck finding the cause.

I've bought loads of stuff off Bob and never had an issue, and that includes looms.
To aid your fault finding, assuming your reasonably mechanically minded etc.
Disconnect everything from the loom, then start as follows;
After making sure all of your fuses are good and the right rating, then;
1. Connect ignition switch
2. Connect switch gear
3. Connect indicators and test
4. Connect front and rear lights and test
5. Connect horn and test
6. Connect stator connectors and test (basically turn the ignition on, you don't need to run it at this point)
7. Connect powervalve and test
8. Connect kill switch and test
9. Connect front brake light and test
10. Connect rear brake light and test
11. Connect temp sender and test
and so on for any parts I've missed, if at any point a fuse blows then you should be able to narrow down the fault to a given circuit, the key here is to do one thing at a time, eliminating a circuit at a time

I too have had stuff off Bob, including looms. Everything has been O.K. Its not impossible for a loom to be suspect, some looms are *rap, the problems are usually poor connections that are only twisted together. Its unlikely to be a dead short fault ( unless its been made by someone who is colour blind) Follow mutts post  And good luck. PS People who bodge wiring don't stick to the colour codes in the manual!!! i.e. red when it should be black and vice versa, hence the saying "red to black, blue to bits." |

if you are no good with electrics then its not worth the hassle mate, an auto electrician will do in 10 mins what will take you days
