I filed my complaint. It didn't take too long and now I feel like a good person.
Oil pan on my 2015 FJ09 has a design flaw. The drain bolt is at the bottom and will be the first thing to contact the ground on a road irregularity. Today I read a disturbing account of a rider who rode over a bump in the road, broke the oil drain bolt out of the pan, and covered his bike, tires, and passenger with oil. AMAZINGLY he brought the bike to rest without falling over. Yamaha seems to acknowledge the design flaw since only the first year of production have this type of pan, and later units have an updated oil pan with the drain bolt moved to the side. I would like Yamaha to recall the early production bikes with this pan and install the new pan at no cost. I would be happy to pay for fresh oil during the pan install. Thank you,
