Oh...I see.

Just noticed you're in SLO. My parents live in Paso Robles. I was just out there last month for a few days. I lived in the area long ago for a few years (Atascadero/Paso Robles). Every time I go back I think about how nice it would be to have my R1.

I would love to ride 41, 46 (from 101 going west), and 51 (I think that's it?), plus many other roads in the area.

Hey guys, I just thought I'd throw in some feedback from over here in Aus. I'v been having the same problem. I have done nearly 7,000k's on my 09 R1 and have already had the CCT replaced once, only got it back last week and it's gone again.

I will be going back to the dealer to get them to replace it and asking for the details to contact Yamaha Australia.

The 09 is a GREAT BIKEbut this issue is an annoying one that can lead to major problems if unchecked.

I spoke with my dealer today who then spoke to Yamaha and they have "realised theres an issue" but doubt it will cause problems like jumping teeth or anything. I didn't buy the bike so it can sit in the workshop every few hundred K's the get a new CCT. Yamaha needs to do something about it soon. Word of mouth is a massive killer and words are already starting to spread about the 09 "issues"

I spoke with the dealer yesterday and the new CCT from Yamaha will ship to them in mid-June. The service dude told me to call back in a few weeks and schedule the change out while I'm still under warranty.

I believe he said the ship release date from Yamaha for the new part is June 9. He knew exactly what I was talking about and filled in the blanks before I even asked all the questions.
