someone told me that yamaha officially put into effect a recall of the trannies. is this true?

 

I haven't been contacted yet, and my tranny failed well over a year ago!

I wouldn't count on Yamaha stepping up to the plate that they should have done some time ago!

 

You know the only thing that keeps me from buying another Raptor is that I may lose the trans on my 01 and need the money to fix it. I'd love to sell off my old Warrior and buy the wife an 02 or 03? Raptor but if my transmission goes south I'll need the cash to rebuild it. Yamaha is losing sales over this issue! My next quad might just be the Suzuki Z400 that would leave almost enough price difference to buy the Fortin gears for my 01! We can only hope there is a recall in the works.

 

Yamaha will do no recall......when the tranny locks up, Yamaha will tell the owner that this is his/her fault (if the rider is still alive).

 

I hope this isn't the case for the 02 Banshee's as well or I'm going to be pissed, as for Yamaha doing a recall, I havn't herd any thing but, They did send me a recall notice on my 01 YZ 125 for the throttle cable

NOTE * After the throttle stuck open and caused me to crash and twist my ancle at the track.

Time will tell, atleast there not putting Firestone tires on them.
