magpie Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Got notice of the recall this morning Transmission shift cam segment stopper has sharp edge and may crack or break. Affected units must have shift shaft assembly replaces. Technical Bulletin will all necessary information to be released and affected owners notified by mail.

steve Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 That's what I thought, the website hasn't been updated yet. It might be deliberate, if we all check and call our dealers en masse they might not be ready for the 'deluge'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madknive Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Just out of interest magpie, what are the first 8 digits of your VIN (if it is not unwise to quote them here, not really my area) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member wessie Posted April 8, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 8, 2015 Just out of interest magpie, what are the first 8 digits of your VIN (if it is not unwise to quote them here, not really my area) just like the licence plate, anyone can see your VIN when you park in public so you aren't putting your property at risk by showing the VIN here This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

Premium Member wessie Posted April 8, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted April 8, 2015 1. letter from Yamaha on my doormat when I got home an hour ago asking me to contact my dealer 2. VIN no is on Steve's list 3. VIN no. not showing as needing remedial work on the Yamaha website 4. Phoned dealer, who looked on the system and found the parts kit. Dealer will ring once the parts are in stock. My bike will be the 1st one done by the Cheltenham dealer. This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

happy01 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I also received letter today. Funny how it doesn't mention not to ride the motorcycle like the USA and Canadian ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Funny how it doesn't mention not to ride the motorcycle They probably know we'd ignore the 'advice' I'm away till next week, so won't know if I'll get the letter or not till then, if that list from the German article is right, I shouldn't be hearing from anybody.
