Premium Member wessie Posted April 23, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 23, 2015 Same on mine. Looks like a flaw in the mould, excess metal rather than a crack.

Damm..... don't think that can be repaired.. has anyone directed to to Yamaha directly ?At the risk of sounding like a typical forum jerk, I HAVE to ask, papihog: Have you read this entire thread? It isn't a crack, damn near everyone's bike has this same EXACT mark, including 2015 FZ-09's. Not a crack, no need to worry. Go ride your motorcycle. Should you be unable to relax due to the anxiety created by this minor cosmetic casting flaw, I will buy your bike for $6,000. LMK so I can arrange finances as necessary.

A guy by the name of Sid Finch on the the Ethiopian Forums was doing a wheelie and his engine popped out and took out an unfortunate African Twin on the road behind him. They had to share a Camel ride back to Dolo Ado together. I'm about to start smoking crack.

vern Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I knew I bought these overpriced carbon bolt covers from Yamaha for a reason. If you can't see it, can't be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest branthopolis Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 There is a long thread about this over on the FZ forum as well. Mine has the exact same pattern.. Right side. front bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member wessie Posted April 24, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 24, 2015 Just had the recall done and looked at 2 new bikes in the showroom, both the same. Dealer seems indifferent, "it's a cheaply made bike." I agree with the sentiment. You get far worse cosmetic defects on much more expensive bikes...

korben Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Just got back from the bike being serviced... Every MT-09 and every Tracer had the same thing (I checked about 20 bikes altogether)... Pointed it out to the dealer and we both had a good giggle about it. Nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Dealer seems indifferent, "it's a cheaply made bike." I'm sure he would have phrased it differently if you were looking to buy Not sure if my noticing it on mine before I took the keys made any difference, my salesman said you've just spent a lot of money you'd expect it to be right! Then set about trying to sort it out, bless him. Now that I know it is widespread, I'm not worried about it. Had originally thought it may have been damaged in the crate potentially leading to other problems down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I belive that there is effectively a crack but in the mold due to thermal shocks accumulated by many uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotboot Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I will be dissapointed if this turns into the cracked frame issue Yamaha had on Gen 2 FZ-1's. Don't panic.... I think the robot who torqued that right side hardware is set a tad strong, or the spacing and tolerance specs are off a little. I like the sexy band-aid plug option. Some fine red bolt caps and a well sorted hardware kit from Rizoma is in order here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
