If i had wanted recalls I would have bought a BMW! Well, at least you got your bike. The recall hit the morning I was to go buy the bike and it's been sitting at the dealer's for a week and a half waiting for the part. They were expecting the part Thursday but as of yesterday it hadn't shown up. I'm hopeful I'll be able to pick the bike up on Monday. It's been pretty frustrating, although I suppose I will get a lot of stuff done this weekend that needs doing, rather than spending the time wrenching and riding. 2015 FJ-09 (Mary Kate) 2007 Daytona 675 (Tabitha, ret.) 1998 Vulcan 800 (Ret.) 2001 SV650S (Veronica, Ret.) 2000 Intruder 800 (Ret.)

If i had wanted recalls I would have bought a BMW! Dont have it done then!!! I aint heard anything yet, and just had my 600 mile service done, but I will be taking it in if it needs doing. Having brought a launch edition Triumph explorer in 2012, i am used to it going back once or twice!! Not just a BMW issue.but it is an annoyance.

falcophil Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 emailed the dealer this morning and he said the parts will be in this week and he will do it on my first service in two weeks. doesnt seem like they are getting as excited about it in the UK as the US.

pilgo Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 If anyone hasn't seen my post containing the VIN numbers affected have a look here. Im 1094 so guess I'll be ringing my dealer tomorrow :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilgo Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 So, ive checked my vin # on steves link and my bike is part of the recall, but on the yamaha link im not, so ive just rung yamaha at Woking and they confirmed my bike is due the work, blaming my dealer for not sending my paperwork to them promptly enough for the lack of a recall letter. Ive just rung Fowlers and the bike is all booked in for may 12th ( 1st date available sadly, but the bloke at yamaha has confirmed its fine to keep riding and was surprised at the (over) reaction in the states/canada to the recall.) pretty painless all in all, i guess it would of been more of a hassle if I was having to fit the trip to Bristol in between work, but as im currently 'between jobs' its fine 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I am surprised at Yamaha for not updating their website, but have felt for a long time I.T. isn't one of their strong areas. The 'warranty' registration, in my case was done online part of the paperwork. The Datatag reg was part of it, this was acknowledged straight away, but took nearly 6 weeks for Yamaha to send me the Yamaha Assist/ RAC and Euro warranty cards. There must be a logical explanation, but not knowing what that could be it seems very haphazard :'( I'm sure the "don't ride" mandate is due to the laws and liability being different in various parts of the world. I am glad the posting has helped people check if their bikes are in the recall and be able to chase it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
