Lew i dipped the coil as well as the 'aitch tea' lead, i would advise yew to dip the lead/coil assembly at least twice or tree toimes in order to get a noice fat coating. Then alls ya gotta do is expose the coils flat blade connector terminals by cutting away any excess plasti dip with a stanley blade/scalpel. I also made an effort to 'shroud' the plug/socket connectors once the coils were plugged in and ready to go in order to prevent rain water mist/spray affecting them. good luck and best wishes.

Mine started doing the same this week - riding every day in rain - looked closer and shorting on head - lifted ht leads up and problem gone for now. Going to do the tape fix this weekend to cure longer term. Yamaha engineers are you reading this forum - so many cheap fixes to make a great bike even better - free R&D here.

Pjay,



Oid replace the leads and then (as an extra precaution if you feel its needed) tape. Just putting tape on leads that are already breaking down is a bandage rather than long term fix. The magnecor outer coating really is superior to the OEM stuff.

Defo agree...



I ended up wasting a reel of SA tape on old leads.



Get some of this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230847455491), and tape it up - mines held out longer than the coils did!!

Had issues with my Tenere in early December. Its OK left out in the rain, but parked it for a couple of nights in the freezing fog and it did not like that one bit. Also have problems when garaged if wife has tumble-drier going this weather. Dried with a hair-dryer, sprayed liberally with WD40 - started fist touch.



Now have issues with TDM. Doh! Still - been waiting for an excuse to put new spark plugs in. Mine are about 50-60K miles old.
XT1200Z - Big and bouncy

GTR1400 - Chaufer the wife.

XT660Z - Fun and commute.

TDM900 - Yellow.
