[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 974437, member: 19880"] Another one to report. Mildly toasted S6. Symptoms included high beam indicator coming on and distinctly odd blinker behavior. I only has three fairly brief episodes but decided to dig into it before I was stranded somewhere. As a result, the socket was not badly burned. I'm sure it would get very quickly worse as heat buildup accelerates corrosion resulting in higher resistance and more heat... I cut off the offending spider, twisted the wires together and soldered it. Hope this is the root cause of the issues I was seeing. I don't know whether there is any point in me filing a report. I am a Canadian with a US bike. I seriously doubt that either Canadian or US authorities would pay much attention. Ross [/QUOTE]
