When he pulled the wire it came out of the sheath because it had snapped where it had been bent.

Dealer has replaced 11 harnesses and 4 clocks on 08 XT's since the start of this year! All bikes were used daily throughout the winter.

I thought it was just the rider who didn't like the rain!!!

I still like the bike just disappointed with the wiring...
