#877242 micha (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 32 Re:Known Issues Newbies Should Check 2 Years, 10 Months ago   This thread is full of great info - it should be mentioned to newbs in their welcome thread. And possibly moved to on of the technical areas. General/Bike-Talk isn't an area I'd go looking for tech info..   Logged     | The glass is twice as big as it needs to be.. | | 2001 XV1600A 13,000 miles | London, UK |   The administrator has disabled public write access. #877265 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 19602 Re:Known Issues Newbies Should Check 2 Years, 10 Months ago   micha wrote: This thread is full of great info - it should be mentioned to newbs in their welcome thread.

If we're single can we pick up hookers? Just askin..... Only if you first ask them if they are a cop or a snitch! Yah, that's the ticket! Around here the hot ones are the cops lol. or they're the ones with teeth...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #879081 micha (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 32 Re:Known Issues Newbies Should Check 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Curt wrote: 1. The 99 - 03 R* have a transmission recall out. It is a safety recall and Yamaha will repair the problem at no cost you. A cir-clip in the trans can come loose and lock the trans up. The engine has to be torn down to fix it. Contact any dealer local to you and give them the VIN number and they can check the database and tell you if the recall has been done. If it hasn't been done then have them do it. You don't have to be the original owner. Any question just open a new thread and we will give you more information. Actually, call Yamaha directly. For parallel or grey imports, your local dealers will NOT have the information on hand and for these bikes Yamaha never contacted the owners - even if they were the original owners! I called a local dealer a couple of weeks ago (shortly after reading about this issue) and was told it was all done. Today I called Yamaha UK and was told the recall hasn't been done yet for this bike. (I'm in the UK, bike was originally for Finland(?!), but was sold new and first registered here in the UK). The UK number for Yamaha is 01932 358000. Give them the VIN, they can look it up, and give you a list of local dealers.   Logged     Last Edit: 2015/04/21 10:10 By micha.   | The glass is twice as big as it needs to be.. | | 2001 XV1600A 13,000 miles | London, UK |   The administrator has disabled public write access. #879096 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 10749 Re:Known Issues Newbies Should Check 2 Years, 10 Months ago   And now the fun begins for ya mate...Don't know about the UK, but here in the US the competency of the wrenches at the dealers vary considerably so try to pick a good one......   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #880002 yampah (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 60 Re:Known Issues Newbies Should Check 2 Years, 10 Months ago   First of all i would like to thank everyone that has taken the time to put this thread together.
