WOW, what a night I had last night. Upon leaving dinner, I suffered a dead battery. Took a while to get that resolved, and when I stopped for gas on the way home, I got spider bite!!
SOAB! Called roadside assistance, did a bunch of reading here while I waited and eventually got it home. Took it apart today and confirmed it was the S4 connector.
Here is the part that irks me: I visited my dealership a couple months ago to replace the rear tire. At the time, I asked the service manager to check the status of any recalls on my VIN. He looked in the computer system and said everything had been complied with. According to the S4 supplemental harness that was never install on my bike, that's not the case. I'll be giving them a piece of my mind tomorrow. My question: Does Yamaha have a universal recall status tracker to check? Did this service manager lie to me, or did somebody mark the bike as complied without doing the work?
As a side note: Bike is an '08, mileage at time of occurrence was 7991. Has there been any correlation between mileage and failure? Also, should I still fill out a report for the NHTSA even though there is already a recall?
