The OEM connector to the Voltage rectifier/regulator on my 2009 is toast -- there is no longer a solid positive connection from the cable/connector to the regulator. Yamaha has NO replacement -- Trying to find a replacement (rather than replace the entire wiring harness? -- ouch) Any ideas...

Problem Solved! (but I'll never wash this thing again) The Yamaha-dog dealer found a "subassy" connector "box", located under the left side of the gas tank (??) (which I haven't had the balls to look closer at to locate, nor have I found any reference to this in the 755 page of worthless...

I'm screwed... Can't find anything to fix this.... Bike hauled to Yamaha dealer -- in the rain... Hope is that my service contract covers this ... Really interested in what the solution is (and the dealer has NEVER seen this before -- wonderful)

Trying to remove the front cowling from a 2009. Have pretty much EVERYTHING removed, except for a single bolt that resides behind the Yamaha logo-disk. Can't figure out how to get there from here (seems pretty stupid when all I'm trying to do is eliminate the chatter when the windshield goes...
