'Tis Winter and many of us miss the warm sunshine, a cooling breeze breeze and nice, long, bracing dance with the road ahead.

Actually back to OP question. I would look how the harness was mounted. It is very conceivable that he harness was allowed to move around chaffing the wires on on the chassis, on themselves within the harness, and or wiggling the plug connections resulting in shorts or extra resistance.

Electric motorcycles. Bloody ugly, not loud enough, don't sound right, but I have seen performance tests and they seem to continuously out perform a lot of bikes.
Sad really as I cannot imagine buying one.
Can't afford one a anyway.

OK I'll be the one to say it (though not the first one). The R3 uses the thinnest, lightest duty wire I have ever seen on a motorcycle. It's really a wonder they don't have more electrical problems.
