The Concours Junction Box is a weak link in the
motorcycle's electrical system. J-Boxes typically fail
in the 50-60,000 mile area due to stress corrosion of
the relay's solder joints or excessive electrical
loads caused by using J-Box leads to provide switched
power for accessories, thus placing a higher load(s)
on a relay.
Stress corrosion causes heat buildup, and higher
resistance, that eventually causes the relay to fail.
Depending on which relay fails, the headlight,
accessories, or engine may be affected. Typically,
these relays give some warning before failure by
operating intermittently when warm/hot, but may
operate normally when cold. These are the warning
signs of pending failure, it's only a matter of time.
Don't let J-Box failure leave you stranded - the
dealers do not stock them and the cost approaches
$160.00 for a new one.
Our service replaces the low capacity OEM relays with
new, high quality ones that have a 50% greater
amperage rating than the original ones, thus assuring
ample reserve current carrying capacity. Our
refurbished junction boxes are warranted for 6
months from the date of shipment.
Refurbished junction boxes are in stock. Your old
J-Box will need to be returned to BST as soon as
possible after you receive the repaired one. A return,
postage paid envelope is included to return your old
J-box to BST, just drop it in a mailbox. The prices
for BST rebuilt J-boxes include a $40.00 core charge
which will be refunded to you upon receipt of your old
J-Box.
The third option, rebuilding your J-box, is available
on a 2-3 day turnaround + shipping time, back to
you.
NOTE:
When sending your J-box for rebuilding; remove the
cover, all fuses, the fuse pulling tool,
fan fuse bracket and the rubber, damper strap.
