Carb models were on the ecm recall not efi models. Check the battery connections first,load test it if any doubt on it's condition. If that's ok then the pdm module did have problems on some efi machines,plus it's been updated which usually means something.Item #11.Dirt Cheap Yamaha, Polaris, Suzuki & Kawasaki OEM Parts & Accessories – Cycle Parts Warehouse

Top one is the ecu or brain box as it's been called. Pdm module by the radiator has all the circuit breaker,controls charging,fan operation,etc and has been known to fail same as the ecm module on the carb models.
