If you don't value your life then don't do it, but I've had my bike going on 3 summers now and it failed the other day in Heavy traffic. It might not happen to you, but do you really want to be in the path of a semi when it fails?

If you actually read this thread, you will see that they will not just give you that part and then let you change it yourself.

btw if you have had a problem and your dealer won't fix it or you're in a diff country you do realize you can buy the sensor and do it yourself. just make sure you get the good sensor...not a huge deal to do it yourself, even though you shouldn't have to...but if it comes down to it at least you know it's fixed

I didn't get the letter, but I called my dealer. Parts are on order, and they will give me a call when they come in. About an hour and a half labor, no arguments. They got the letter and are honoring all the 2004s, and have the list to ID the 2005s.

Well my bike is plated December 2004, so I'm going to fax the dealer with a copy of the bulletin I just printed
I know I'm on the other side of the world, but like bender said, if it does fail, I don't want to be in the path of a semi if it does.

Some of us here will have a problem with this matter. The reason I say this is how many of us have taken the bike in and spent money for a dealership to inspect your bike and say you owe them $$$ and nothing is wrong with it. Do you think Yamaha is going to pay for those services???? I doubt it!!
Anyways, now that I have the service bulliten, I'm calling Yamaha as asking for all the crash damages fixed or the bike replaced with a brand new one or I'm suing for all the damages and Pain and Suffering from crashing because of their F* ^.
Anyways, good luck all and remember....if you have/had this problem....still report it to:
www.nhtsa.com
Because, this is only a SERVICE BULLITEN.....not a RECALL.
Any questions, just PM me.

They're telling you to bring it in for a free replacement! What more do you want?

They were a little slow maybe, but at least they are fixing it.

Go look for yourself..... http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/pr...ls/results.cfm
This is a Yamaha SERVICE BULLETIN:
Its not a NHTSA SERVICE BULLETIN.....big difference!!!
http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/pr...sb/results.cfm
Until NHTSA forces it to be a recall.....then YAMAHA gets to blow it over like its no big deal.
Like I said in the main trend.....most of you if not 99% of you have been some lazy asses who want people like me to get this crap fixed.....but can't take the time to fill out a 5 minute complaint.

Its obvious that companies go about things in diff. ways. Nissan DONT send out service Bullitons to they're customers. They are for the service dept....So Calm yourself Dude.....Take a pill before you blow a vein.
