Hey all, I appear to have been struck by the dreaded melting headlight socket. My bike is a 2012 bought from first owner a couple of months ago. I had intermittent failure with one of the bulbs initially which I initially assumed was a loose connection...before I discovered it was a recognised fault.
Anyway, as luck happens, the socket has melted half way through a 2 week road trip. Rather than faff around with the Yamaha recall I need a short term remedy to keep me visible on the road. Am I ok to go to the closest auto parts store buy a H7 connection and install it on my ST?
I've contacted Yamaha re a free fix, however a quick fix is what I need right now.
