[QUOTE="bramfrank, post: 544941, member: 2163"] Many dealerships have no idea who bought what without doing a manual search of their files. A dealer would likely call only if you had a personal relationship and he twigged to the fact when the notice arrived. However the notification package included the names and numbers of the owners of the affected machines they sold. but Yamaha does have to notify everyone directly and the dealer might have hundreds (if not thousands) of bikes to notify about various issues. In any case, 18 pages on the subject of 'they recalled my bike' is horribly redundant, especially when it affects anyone with a Gen-II who has a machine manufactured before some point in what? December? After all it isn't a question of 'was mine included?'. Of course it was. There's a similar thread on the Micapeak mailing list comprising of a number of owners writing "I got mine" or "I didn't get mine" (yet). What a waste of bandwidth - the main power controls were poorly designed and the switch overheats. If there is tension on the wire it will pull out. I would have thought they'd install a relay that is controlled by the switch, given the current that the thing has to carry. Let's see what the change comprises and whether it survives long-term.
