I WAS HOPING YOU GUYS WOULD HAVE A NUMBER TO CALL. MY TRANS. WENT OUT AND THE COST IS $1900 FOR PARTS AND $1000 FOR LABOR. THE DEALER TOLD ME I AM STUCK WITH THE LABOR. THEY ARE INSTALLING 2002 INSTEAD OF 2001. I GOT THE THREE YEAR. I THINK MY DEALER IS JACKING ME AROUND. I LIVE IN THE SIOUX FALLS,SOUTH DAKOTA AREA. PLEASE HELP!!!!! THANK YOU.

 

Do you have your warranty thru Y.E.S. ??? yamaha service number for yes is 714-761-7632.
it said in the contract that parts and labor are covered if it is a manufactures defect.I just
blew my trans too.It will shift into first and barly in to 2nd and makes a terrable grindeing noise.I am taking it in next week. I hope they dont give me any SH@#@t. All my maintenance is
documented .

 

My buddy blew out his trans.The dealer where he bought the Raptor call the Yamaha and they said that yamaha will pay for the parts and half the labor so he has to come up with $500.00.And dealer told him it will take a month to fixes so he is **** its been 2 week so far and he is going to call the dealer tomorrow and see was up with it.I have a 01 i hope my trans the break.

 

Keep this in mind on your next atv purchase. Self-destructing transmissions are unacceptable on a new machine. Still, things would be better if Yamaha would pay the entire bill.....since the design flaw is their fault. Shame on you Yamaha for not recalling all '01 Raptors!

 

color plastic doesn't make a difference, my buddy's 01 blk/wht just blew his tranny and destroyed his engine on the ride home. cracked cylinder, hole in the piston , cracked both cases...total loss anyone have a motor /tranny for sale ?

 

Gary,

I agree, don't forget about this when thinking of purchasing your next atv.

I, for one, WILL NOT EVER BUY ANOTHER YAMAHA PRODUCT, EVER!!!

It's just too bad I have WAY TOO much invested now to sell it, so I'm still spending!

 

my tranny went out on me 9 thats right 9 weeks ago and I am still waiting for back orderd parts to come in. So far I have paid for ALL the parts for the 02 up-grade and am still fighting with Yamaha to at least cover the labor however, it seems that I will be stuck with all the bill. Yamaha told me that it was my way of riding that broke the tranny and that they have not had "many" problems with the tranny[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]YA OK. Trust me I will remember this when I buy my next wheeler. I would rather come in second than sit home waiting for parts!
