Triumph Bonneville T120 Recall

OK, guys here it is:
I have a subscription to the Triumph Technical Information website. The following is a link to TTIs instructions to the dealer to splice in new connections to avoid the burn problem.

Read their instructions and it looks like 3 black wires out of the alternator out of the engine block have to be spliced with 3 black wires into the main harness going up under the seat after the old connector block is cut away.

Don't know if you will be able to follow the link unless you have a subscription:

What could possibly go wrong: the black wires are not marked and the tech would have to keep track of which black wire splices with the next by their position into the old connector blocks.

Thanks Alfie; you got the repair pdf that is at the TR subscription site.

I am not nuts about this fix.

 

Well, just some questions:
Why the original recall clip?
Was there a defect in the connector blocks?
Maybe susceptible to water/moisture causing deterioration? If so, I would just wrap a baggy around them.
Do the connector blocks perform some other electron management function?
Is there a way to replace the connector blocks?

When weather gets warmer, I am going to take a ride and shoot the connector block with a temperature gun at the beginning and end to see if the connectors are heating up.

 

Regit nogara mentioned in my 'Bonneville' post on this recall that 'Water ingress maybe???'; the wrapping of a plastic bag around the block might be a fix.

 

When the weather gets warmer here, I will take the bike on a ride into town 7 miles and back and take a temp reading on the plug to see if heat is a factor.

I am not nuts about this fix.

I do not ride in the rain; Considering water egress, I am considering wrapping the plug in that contact clear plastic protector available in hardware stores anyway.
