I was browsing the Yamaha International sites (looking for someone to contact regarding the ecu remap), and reached the Yamaha Motors Japan site.
My Japanese isn't too great, but thanks to Google Translate it seems that there is a new recall regarding the headlight wiring. I actually read someone complain about this, the other day, in one of the forums.... don't remember where.
