Default Recall on 700s

The problem with some of these bikes is that the fan doesnt come on before the light comes on. I had the temp light come on the first time i rode it. Im going to see if the fan comes on when the light comes on. I know a lot of guys down here in florida that have the same problem. Either the sensor is bad or there is a temp senor that is bad. I dont know what is going on. My light came on as soon as I got it home the first day. That is without an hour on it. I call the dealer today where i bought it at and asked them if they have had any problems with other ones, and they said no. I have not rode it hard at all. I have a field that is 300 yards long and that is where i have been riding it at.

Please don't make us relive the 01' Raptor! I hope Yamaha will take care of any glitches this time around and not leave anyone hanging. I know my buddy is dead set on buying one, but he got burnt on the 01's and is timid to buy another 1st year bike.

A bad fan sensor is not nearly as big of a problem as a transmission. Heck the 660 always had a finnicky fan sensor, and they all have problems with the one-way. The 04 yfz was riddled with problems but you dont see people all over the forum screaming "dont buy the 04's!". The kfx/ltz 03 models had weak frames but they still get bought and sold in great volumie. The 03 pred had plenty of problems, and its the only other bike besides the 01 raptor where riders tell their buddies "dont buy that year". In the grand scheme of things its a pretty small glitch and one that would not deter me from making such a purchase, but then again I didnt get burned on an 01 tranny so what can I say.
