Prevention
Soon to be an owner of an '09 GSA, and aware of this potential weakness, what preventive measures (if any) could I take?
Are there any existing threads on the subject of prevention?

There's all sorts of mods people try to keep water out of the recess the FPC sits in but I think some have still had failures even when the unit has remained dry
Apparently the new revised part is black and I haven't heard of any failing yet so I'd check with your dealer to make sure your new bike has it fitted

caused by wet weather
replaced under warranty
Technican said common problem, and they carry spares with them on break down vehicles.

May 2006 1200 GSA
Mileage when sold 24054
I ride all year round in all weathers, (no car) and it's stored in the garage at night.
I owned the bike from new and traded in November 2008 for another 1200 GSA, (nothing comes close)!
The only issues were the front cover and gearbox seal.
