YEah, this is VERY different from any vehicle warranty in the past where material defects are ALWAYS covered. I find this hugely concerning. If manufacturers go this route warranties will become entirely useless.
This ought to be interesting. To me this looks like material failure and Yamaha's answer sounds really sketchy. I think I saw another T9Gt transmission failure thread somewhere last year. https://www.facebook.com/groups/405696997251560/posts/1018925415928712/
