Yeah... that's almost exactly what happened to me.  I tore a connector off my first set while trying to figure out the proper way to plug it in (backwards).  I'm guessing lots of people had this problem, so on the newer ones they stripped less of the wire and they are indeed more robust because they're crimping onto the wire housing rather than the wire!  If you fix this connector, everything should work great.  The resistors should be fine.  They're a breeze to install and I have to think that you'd be better off with them in there.  Just my opinion, but I figured I'd waste more time trying to explain the issue to the dealership than just fixing it myself.

Any long term updates? I just placed an order for a smoked windscreen from Commoto. Hopefully it's in stock.

I get LOTS of wind on my chest when I ride. I'm riding without any kind of screen on my 696. I took the teeny tiny factory screen off. I will definitely let you guys know how I feel with the new screen on when I get it.

The wind is my enemy.

I think it cuts a lot of wind from my chest and head, but I still feel it on my shoulders. I am happy with it though and plan on keeping it. Let us know what you think when you get it.
