[QUOTE="bramfrank, post: 812758, member: 2163"] Exactly what mine has done - twice.. I believe that the reflector is inhaling gas fumes when you stop to refuel and the hottest part of the polycarbonate is reacting with the ethanol. The topic from the first time it happened to me can be found here: https://www.fjrforum....showtopic=26025 This time around the assemblies look like this: [URL="https://rides.webshots.com/photo/2376746130048697046LbFeyI"][IMG]https://inlinethumb23.webshots.com/43670/2376746130048697046S200x200Q85.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL="https://rides.webshots.com/photo/2409511090048697046QCbmvq"][IMG]https://inlinethumb43.webshots.com/24234/2409511090048697046S200x200Q85.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Yamaha replaced the reflector the first time and are supposed to be doing it again (though my dealer says that they have not yet received formal approval for the claim) under the YPP (Canadian (ergo much more expensive for a lot less) version of YES)..
