[QUOTE="JamesK, post: 785668, member: 1858"] The links provided are great and full of details, but just to add a little, the likely culprit is the S4 spider, located under the tank in the top LH corner. Since your bike started up again after the glitch, chances are your case is similar to what my spider bite was, i.e. the spider is starting to fail, but has as yet not fried the harness. If you promptly address this problem with the Brodie grounding harness (more appropriate in your case) you should be fine going forward. If you leave it, waiting for Yamaha to fix it there is a good chance that the next occurrence will melt the crap out of your harness requiring a full replacement. Last I heard, harnesses were on back order and it would be a mistake to let most dealers replace the entire harness because they will create 100 other problems in the process. I totally agree with Bramfrank's logic and support his position, however, I am quite pessimistic about the chances of a Yamaha recall anytime soon, and You don't have much time left... [/QUOTE]
