Went to dealer on Sat.Good friend is service mgr.Went into back of shop and saw 4 RS being worked on for tranny recall.1st Warrior was there also.Was shown only prob. they had found after a dozen or so teardowns.1 RS 4th gear had several teeth missing.Service tech mentioned that RS owner had not maintained & had only changed oil "a few times "in 30k miles.Bike looked in lousy condition.Tech seemed to think gear prob.was caused by lousy maintenance.
Saw damaged 4th gear

I've personally seen three RS gear sets removed and neither the machanic or I could visually distinguish any unusual wear. The recall work is being done by one mechanic, and he's yet to see any unusual wear patterns in over a dozen and a half bikes. Proper maintainence is paramount to keeping your bike running well. That guy made out in more ways than one.

To bad we can't be sure this is unnecessary work. Then, we could all skip the whole recall mess and ride.
Several teeth missing?
Thats quite unusual or impossible to do with out the gears having injested some foriegn material of significant size. Maybe a circlip?

I'd like to hear from someone who races and tears down these transmissions if it's even possible to abuse these gears hard enough to cause this kind of damage. Can we get ahold of Rob Hughs?

More reason to use Mobil 1 full synthetic gear oil.
The gear oil is only used in the transfer case. The transmission gears receive their lubrication from the engine oil. The shearing action upon the oil in the transfer case is significantly less.

CPS recall white dot on harness under saddle near connector
Total RecallI need some expert opinions here... with the CPS recall a sign that it has been done is a white dot on the rubber grommet where the harness exits the clutch cover.

Recall still valid?
Total RecallSo I have a new friend, she rides an 02 and I asked her if the recalls were done, she's not sure so I told her to take it to the dealer and they can look at the VIN# and find out. She told me her Yamaha dealership said they wont touch her bike cuz it's over 10 years old....... nonsense right?- 28
