I have experienced a paddle shift failure several times over the last few months, 5 times to be exact, when shifting from 1st to 2nd. My dealer couldn't duplicate the failure and after consulting with Yamaha, replaced the switch (this was after the 4th failure and while the YES was still good.) The day after the switch was replaced, a catastrophic failure occurred which resulted in having the entire wiring harness replaced (under warranty as part of the Spider recall.) All was fine for the first few rides and then this morning, failure number 5.
It just fails to shift with the up-shift paddle, acts like the paddle shift is not turned on (it is, I checked....). The foot shift works fine to get around the failure so it doesn't seem to be a mechanical issue (and the dealer checked out the mechanical portion of the operation before replacing the paddle.)
Long story long, has anyone else experienced a similar failure and if so, how was it fixed?
2009 AE with 54,700 miles, one owner since new. Issue started about 5,000 miles ago or so.
