Electrical Gremlins

I'll try and keep this short but hopefully it will help someone out there along the way. I have been reading this site for years and never posted. I have learned a lot and the info I get from you guys has kept my bike out of the shop, until now. My bike has 48,000 miles on it. It has been flawless until about 46,000 miles. On a trip to Arizona, it started stalling and hesitating on light throttle application. When I got back I cleaned the throttle body plates, new plugs, new air filter, sea foam during the trip. I also did the cam chain extenders, which really quieted the engine by the way, and it still acted up. The FI light would come on and go back off after a mile or so. I generally do not trust dealers but I had no choice. I chose a dealer in Georgetown that seemed friendly and knowledgeable when I've stopped by. They took the bike back, long story short , the wire harness, that runs from the engine to the ECU, which is next to the battery, has a wear spot where it runs over a frame rail. He found 2 wires that were worn through and shorting out. So far so good. Charged me $193.00 which I thought was fair considering the diagnostics he had to do. If something changes I'll keep you informed but so far so good.
