Had the exact same thing happen on my ‘19!
Shop has it now, working on having Yamaha warranty it. I’ll let ya know!

 

Interesting. My buddies 15 has the same problem, that his cooler rubs his exhaust but mine has plenty of clearance. Very weird

 

 

I wonder if it’s an inconsistency in Yamaha’s exhaust production

 

Strange, plenty of clearance on mine, certainly enough to not cause this, I'm guessing its a manufacturing issue with the exhausts or brackets for oil cooler.

 

Looks like an oil warmer to me

 

My 2015 is doing the same thing, did you get it resolved?

 

there's a little bit of play in everything. if they tighten up the exhaust with it pushed forward then it'll rob clearance. there are a few areas on these that rub if you don't pay attention. you have to put the header connections on but not tight then make sure the mid pipe is all the way on then you tighten from the front back the cooler you pull forward just a bit and then do the bottom bolt.

 

appreciate the help, i just picked it up from the shop. They are 8 weeks out so im going to replace it myself. I can’t believe how tight it is

 

Stock headers, stock cooler, stock brackets just installed correctly.

 

thanks for the pics, they are very helpful in determining where i need to be. The new oil cooler and o-rings are on the way. I think im going to fabricate a bracket for the bottom to gain the clearance.

 

Full yoshimura exhaust with stock everything else.

 

You can but that's just a bandaid and your then going to be messing with the fitment of the fairings. As long as your bracket isn't bent then it's the exhaust being too far forward. Headers need to be all the way into the catalytic converter. Snap some photos of that if you can where it goes in.

 

The bike is at my shop right now so i cant any
More pics at the moment. These are the ones i took yesterday. I thought about the fairing fitment and im only moving it a little over 1/4 inch. Then i think ill bend the tabs on the oil cooler that the fairings bolt to back until they line up. Which i “think” will be okay. As far as the exhaust, it has an aftermarket mid-pipe. When i compare my headers to the ones ive found online there appears to be a bend in mine. Thats the puzzling part

 

Keep us posted. This happened on 2 of my bikes. Both times came from the dealer I used to go too.

 

So you bought yours new with the same problem? i think im just going to extend the bottom bracket to keep the oil cooler off the exhaust and see how the fairings fit and make adjustments if need be. I’ll update when parts arrive

 

I think it’s a dealer exhaust install issue when the bikes are new. My buddies is like that but mine is perfect with a 1/2” gap

 

that bend in the headers is normal. id be willing to bet the headers weren't seated into the mid pipe all the way when it was all bolted up

 

That works. Did u try making sure your mid pipe was all seated correctly?

 

Everything seemed to be seated properly
