Read complaints for KAWASAKI VN1600A1 (2003)
While traveling at 65+ mph on i-64, a friend riding behind me noticed smoke coming from my motorcycle and signaled for me to pull over. When i got to the side of the shoulder i noticed that the smoke was coming from behind the cover on the left side of the engine/transmission just fwd of the drive shaft. I could see the glow of flames still burning through the hole where the wiring harness passes. The fire kept burning for several minutes as i tried to put it out by smothering it with a rag. My friend called the state police while i disconnected the battery and they arrived with an ambulance and fire truck, but just after the fire burned itself out. After removing the cover, i found the harness completely fried and melted insulator all over everything. Taking the bike into the dealer for evaluation and repair tuesday.
