[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1462834, member: 19880"] I remember being surprised when [USER=3187]@mcatrophy[/USER] reported that the Gen III+ bikes had "spiders" similar to the Gen II. Until today, I hadn't heard of anyone who had problems. Those certainly don't look very good to me. I am guessing that they must be carrying a much lower load than the Gen II ground junctions - otherwise those would have burnt a long time ago. I can't answer you question as to whether something is missing (did these have plastic caps like the Gen II spiders?). At the very least, I would clean those, protect with ACF50 (or even just dielectric grease), and find some way to prevent moisture from getting at them. Large heat-shrink tubing might work well but makes future inspection difficult. Perhaps just a clear plastic bag held with a zip-tie? If it happened again, i would consider cutting them off and soldering the wires together, if there is enough wire available... [/QUOTE]
