I have a 2024 r1 that blew up on me. I took it out one day and halfway point It was knocking like crazy. I had to push it a few miles to get service and get towed. I double checked there was oil in it, so not really sure what happened. I took it to the dealer where I bought it and they told me that I'm basically on the hook for an engine tear down/ rebuild until Yamaha either approves or denies the claim. Warranty expires in Sept 2025. They also asked for service records and since I've done the oil changes myself, all I have to show is one receipt that shows I bought oil and a filter. The service tech made it sound like its going to be a big fight and if denied he threw a number out of $4k labor+ parts. Has anybody ever dealt with Yamaha's warranty? Also any advice? Is this something I could maybe tackle myself?

That’s why when you do your own work on a warrantied ANYTHING, you need to keep reciepts and logs of what and when you did them.
I would at least have them tear it down. Maybe there is an issue from the factory in a batch of the units your bike was made. If it’s tuned and has a lot of work to it, you might be screwed. Your kind of in a rock and a hard place right now.
what’s the miliage and what’s done to the bike?

Ya i messed up there. I wrote it in the service manual but according to them, that doesn't count.
Sucks tho, I just don't want to get stuck owing a shit ton of money. Ive been reading forums and its kinda stressing me out lol
Literally just ecu flash and m4 exhaust. I don't want to give them the tune paperwork cuz it's another reason to blame it on me.
It was just around 6k miles when this happened.

@R1TRACKRIDER probably would have been a good idea. I pulled the plugs yesterday and they were really black. So maybe running rich right?
Let me know, cuz my 24 r1 engine blew and I was quoted 20 grand from the dealer without the warranty coverage. I'm just waiting if I'm getting approved or not.
