man no crap!! BEST INFO EVER, i called yamaha tonight 7:45EST first person who picked up, i told him "i wanna check on any/all possible recalls on my bike i just purchased used (02 warrior)." gave my vin to him, in 10 mins he was able to give the statis of all 4..... 2 done, 2 not done, advised of closest yamaha shop, what to tell them, advised to call day or 2 ahead to get parts in, FREE OF CHARGE, call back phone #'s to yamaha direct, and gave me the dates, milage, and dealership names and address on the other recalls done, so i could get records...
then he advised me to take my title or bill of sale to the dealer w/ me so yamaha could switch me as the owner in there system...... I own an auto repair shop, and i have NEVER contacted a car manufacture that had staff like that on a random call... maybe i got lucky, but man, i was HAPPY
p.s. my first post here, glad to find the site.... LOTS AND LOTS OF GOOD INFO HERE......
