Bike dies when going into gear

sweet!

you're good to go.

Ya, besides feeling like a damn idiot, but that I guess explains why it wasnt making sense on the connections

Glad you fixed it. I've been a victim of the swapped connectors myself after performing a valve clearance check I accidentally swapped the TB servo connector with one of the coil connectors - no start and a 060 code. When correcting it I noticed the connectors were identical, just different colored tape band on the wire to differentiate them. Sure wish Yamaha wouldn't use interchangeable connectors like that!

good job

Good find. ::012::

Note to self: If someone is having electrical problems after going through all the connections and cleaning them..................it's his fault! ::014::

meh. No harm no foul. Shit happens.

The problem is that there is a finite number of connectors out there, and it becomes difficult to source enough"different" connectors to make every one different on a bike. In the old days, it was just bullet connectors and color-coded wires. Different colored connectors, tape bands all serve their purpose, but with the requirement of more effort on the technician (or our) part.

I am glad that the problem was solved. Causality at play once again.

It seems like there is an infinite # of them out there!
Enough for the S10 by far. That wasn't the problem. They were mis-connected...........

My Honda ST1300 has a bigger variety of connectors. I was cussing them because every one of them had a different method to release them. Now I understand why Honda did that. In the case where the same connectors were used they are too far apart on the harness to be confused or they are a completely different color. I learned a lot about that bike replacing the entire wiring harness. In my accidental swap case, with the TB and coil connector, on the Super T, both connectors are the same black colored plastic. To Yamaha's credit they did put different colored tape bands on the wires themselves, but that was less obvious (missed it) and I wonder on an older bike if those bands will eventually fade to white or fall off?

Rode the bike around today without issue, so yeah that mix up was definitely the issue but glad it didn't cause any other problems. Thanks again everyone for the help and the understanding

Glad it worked out well, sometimes we all benefit from other's mistakes, so no harm done, just gained a little more knowledge. ::008::
