[QUOTE="mdisher, post: 967184, member: 2724"] Oh yea! I have a 2006 / 60k miles and got spider bit during the MD2020. According to one Yamaha mechanic, the spider in question for my bike isn't one that's covered in the recall. It's up front under the nose. I lost: - Headlights - Turn Signals (sort of, they worked but were very unhappy) - Both dash lights (turn signal indicators were lit). - Lost windshield up/down functionality. - and the bike would ONLY start, in gear with the clutch lever pulled, after 'cycling' the kick stand. Of course this happened in the middle of a rally and I feared the worst. Left the bike running all day because I was afraid to turn it off. At the rest bonus I tore into it to check the spiders in the upper left corner of the bike and verify my HID (high beam relay) connection which were all good. Bike survived the rally and I'll tear into it this week. Expect to find one of the spiders in the nose is cooked and I will *finally* install my Brodie harness while I'm in there. But according to the guy that wouldn't have saved me for the particular spider in question. -MD [/QUOTE]
