From What I have read here on this Forum the 04 models had problems oil pump transmission and maybe a couple of other problems.

I have not seen anything yet on the 05, I also have the 05 no problems so far but it is heavily modded.

I bought an '01 Road* 1600 and somebody just asked me if it had recall work done. What was the recall for and how would I figure out if the bike had the work done?

You can call a dealer and give them your vin# and they can tell you if it's been done. Or you can call Yamaha yourself with the vin. There was a recall due to bad oil pump gear. There is also supposed to be a punch mark by the vin on the neck but don't depend on that.

recall on all 1600's, transmission possible lock-up. Bad cir-clip. Any Yamaha dealer can look up the vin or Yamaha customer service. Not all dealers used the punch mark as were suppose to. I know my dealer did plenty and no punch.
