Sounds to me like an inspection of the fuel lines and fuel tank need to be done. It could need replacement fuel lines depending on how many miles you have on the vehicle
When Harley's spit through the carburetors they usually pull off the intake manifolds and reseal the them . New gaskets, o-rings, or even manifolds, whatever it takes to seal the intake. You may want to run some Yamaha Ring Free Fuel Additive ( Chevron Techron Fuel Additive) through the bike. A bad spark plug or spark plug cap could also be contributing to the pre-ignition that you are experiencing. If you can fix it yourself may be Yamaha will be kind enough to cover the parts cost if you are still under warranty and you are very polite in the letter you write.
