[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1417151, member: 19880"] I would very much doubt it. If not part of Yamaha's "procedure" for harness replacement, I can't imagine that the dealer would take it upon himself to do this. In my opinion, dielectric grease is of limited value for prevention of spider meltdown. There have been several documented instances where spiders have failed despite owner's claims of regular treatment. I suppose that anything is better than nothing when it comes to reducing the likelihood of water ingress and subsequent corrosion of conductors. Making "hard" contacts to replace spiders or reducing the electrical load going through these choke points is really what needs to be done. [/QUOTE]
