Pudljumpr... I know someone here in WV that got the lemon law on a Craftsmen lawnmower after the tranny went out 3 times. You may be able to contact the BBB or a lawyer and MAKE Yamaha stand behind their product. Might be worth a shot anyhow!

I have nothing against Yamaha, but I have heard that in the owners manual of the yfz, it states that Yamaha recommends a piston rebuild every 12 hours of riding. Is this true? If it is, it seems like a hush hush subject when shopping at the dealerships. I have only heard rumors of this and if it's not true then my apologies, but if it is true that the Yamaha dealers aren't notifying the potential YFZ consumers of this, then Yamaha does noes not deserve your business in my opinion.

This is totally FALSE, I have the shop manual and no where does it reference anything about a 12 hour re-build

I like Yamaha, but they suck like that. Three weeks ago I had a crankseal put in beause it blew out. Now, 3 weeks later, and only a few rides its shot again. I thought somthing was weird that it would go twice in 3 weeks and upon further inspection I found that the crank bearings were pretty shot. Funny, The dealer told me the bearings were in execllent condition when he replaced the seal the first time..
And do you think they are going to do anything for me?...doubt er'.

Look up lemon laws on the net. Their are links to lawyers etc. I have been having troulble with brakes on a 350 Bruin 2w drive I bought for my daughter. They have worked on it 4 times and they are still not right. Yamaha makes good stuff but it sucks the way they take care of the ones they don't make well.

Yamaha has been making crap bikes since they started. Their only saving grace is that they build stuff the other companies don't have and market the **** out of it. They're still selling shee's cuz no one else is making 2-strokes, they're still selling warriors and rappies cuz the other three majors don't have anything to compete with those sizes and the low price they're asking for them. JMO By the way, my buds yfz is dead now thanx to a GYT-R pipe. The baffle broke inside the silencer and blew all the packing out causing his rings to go. A DG would have lasted longer than that POS pipe.
