Looks like at some point I lost the little intake grate for the internal ballast. It is part #33 on the diagram:

My local dealer says that Yamaha is back-ordered. Anyone know of a decent replacement? I rarely (never?) use the ballasts, so I'm not in a hurry and I guess I can wait, but I always thought the stock design was a little dumb considering how "large" it was (I'm surprised I didn't loose it earlier).
 
Looks like a number of places online have it in stock....just google the part number. Here is one for example
