Cool! Is there any obvious damage to the old subharness? Any hint as to why the failure was so abrupt?

They're added to the original post, large size...very obvious damage.
Sorry but I don't see them. Are they attached or embedded? Maybe there is a limit on the file size.

I'll see if I can shrink them...I forgot how the earlier ones of the connector made it in there as thumbnails but will try again.
They should all be embedded thumbnails now. Let me know if that doesn't work.
Apparently I lost all my previous albums on the site conversion too.

Once upon a time there was, but the new software shrinks oversize images on its own.
WOW! Definite short of the Black/White bus. Those rodents will eat anything. Thanks for refreshing the pictures.
Awesome! Get a pet snake to take care of those Rodents now 
I note you changed coolant, I did that last night too, dayaaaam....that was a hateful job refitting those side plastics, because of those inner shields and mainly because I am a male and dont do instructions well, i have scratches all over my arms, like a cat got me! Also took the liberty of the exposed Headlamp globes, I put in a set of Osram Nightbreakers.

Ha ha, Black Mamba and Green Mamba, we have those here in SA, horrid things.A pet snake? Maybe a black or green mamba?
Damn Mouse....
Just wanted to give an update on my story of no start
Turns out Is the weather got cold
The mice decided to make Home inside my motorcycle, he showed me a picture of the nest Right above The intakes
So The bill was$388 for Some part of the wiring harness And Fuel pump Kind of bummed in there It can happen anytime All I can do is set traps and hopefully it won't happen again

I am another victim of the mouse invasion. MY ST has pretty much sat in the garage for a year since buying a leftover '16 FJR1300A. Not only did it make a nest on top of the motor and snack on the injector wires (for the second time!), there was another nest inside the air filter! It gnawed holes in the paper element.
I bought a used harness off ebay which I plan to install today.
4 dead mice since discovering the damage. I use a bucket/ soup can trap I disovered on youtube in addition to spring traps near the tires and centerstand.

Don't know whether to start a new thread or just update this one.
Last fall, a week after the harness problem was fixed, I was left stranded on the side of the road when the fuel pump decided to stop working. Decided I'd done enough work on the bike at that point and had it taken to the shop; lots of $$s later, I had a new fuel pump and was good to go.
The only problem I'm currently dealing with is a continual Code 25 (was also present last fall) which, according to my updated manual, indicates a Rt Knock Sensor fail. I have two on order, figure if one's bad the other will be close as well, or at least I'll have a spare on the shelf. I plan to address what I think is a vacuum hose leak (affected code and my cruise control 'falls off' after being set) caused by the same mouse family that ate through the injector harness, and replace the knock sensor (will run through the tests in the manual first to make sure it's not also a wiring problem).
That will hopefully clear up all the codes its currently throwing, and I'll be back to my much-appreciated steady highway speed! Then I might do the full dash-mounted GPS/Phone holder and GPI add-on as well. Would have been nice to have the GPS access while stuck in McLean traffic last week during the tanker overturn on the 495N bridge to MD!

I am just living with the annoying intermittent FI light now. I am of the opinion that mine specifically may be a climate condition, for want of a better phrase. Reason being it seems that my FI light only kicks in when it is a hot day, this is just a theory, and cant say for sure, but for now it seems to be what I am experiencing. Over Easter I will be doing a round trip of 2000 kilometres, we are slowly heading into Autumn in this part of the world, temps are dropping, plus I will be riding away from the warm coastal climate into thin colder air upcountry. Guess I should be able to put my weird theory to the test, bottom line really is I have just been living with the annoying light, it is temperamental....
sometimes glad i dont have fuel injection, with the exception of cold starting. Anyone tried aftermarket gas additives. Used them on the Trophy 1200 I had and a couple different autos and riding mowers. 3 different cars would start throwing emission codes but after adding Lucas fuel treatment, Tecron, or a big name gas company fuel additve I had access to the codes would go away, performance seemed to get better also. I know what Honda says.
