This thread is now for those that currently have had issues with alarm installation, and turn signal relay damage, and future members that may have this same situation.
I just ordered 20 of the chips shown above, Texas Instruments 92630, the breakdown on cost looks to be something about $6.33 for each chip shipped to my door. One is going to Australia, the other 19 are up for grabs,
I have two sources that can remove and reinstall the chips. I will post labor charges at a later date. What that means is if you have a damaged turn signal relay' gauge cluster, and you mail it to me, I will take it to my NASA aerospace electrical engineer friend, or my San Diego partner in chrime, and they will be happy to pop the old chip off, and install the new one. They will then validate all the circuits before we box it back up and send it back to you.
The second scenario is you send me $6.33 for the chip, you cover shipping by mail, or FedEx, or whatever, and you can source out your own local electrical expert to do the R&R. Whatever you pay for the labor to remove, and install, nothing will be added beyond what they expect for their trouble, and shipping to and from.
i'm glad we were able to find the chip, we know what's inside the gauge cluster for future reference, and for those that haven't made this mistake you now have fair warning to be very careful.
The factory alarm sounds fine, I prefer to run an alarm that has a pager alert and other qualities like perimeter sensor, motion sensor, that sort of thing. I don't know what the factory alarm does but I've run the same alarm for years. I just have to repair my bike and get it to work right.
If anyone in the ORG community runs into people that are having problems like this, just send them the link to this post. The beauty of Doug's site is that things I posted back in 2005 are still here somewhere, and considering this is a new model bike, and we've discovered flaws in the machine, we can be more helpful to new owners, and other members of the Hayabusa community.
PS i'm still a bit surprised that the Suzuki electrical engineers didn't see this possibility. An advisory would have been helpful.
