[QUOTE="Harald, post: 1205296, member: 8054"] From your description, that would be the S4 spider which is the one that failed the most and was addressed by the recall. It's entirely possible that the mechanic that did the recall didn't inspect the S4 connection very well and just plugged the recall harness into it and sent the bike on it's way. If there was corrosion or other damage to the pins, then you could easily have problems down the road despite the recall. I also remember reading about one owner that found the recall harness was plugged into the S4 spider but never connected to the bikes' ground, which would negate the entire recall. As far as your continued electrical gremlins, it's probably going to require inspecting all related connectors on the bike. I can tell you that I've found corrosion on a relay behind the battery, the S7 spider and also the fuel pump relay under the nose. [/QUOTE]
