Top Case problems

[jacko]

G'Day Guys

My first Top Case was replaced under warranty with the strengthened case

The new Case has now broken in the same place as the first one ,

I have spoken to the dearler today and he

wants me to talk to the Yamaha rep tomorrow , but says the Yamaha rep will only say that I have over loaded

it and will not replace it

I dont believe that I have as the empty Top Case weights 7kg (15.4lbs) and loaded it is only 11 kg total (24.2lbs)

Has anyone else had there replacement case break

I cant find what the max load weight is for the Top Case ,anyone know

Thanks regards Jacko

Literature supplied with my top case says 5 kg. maximum load.

Side cases 10 kg. maximum load.

Maximum speed 130 km/h.

And never use all three together

Must have been written by a lawyer, as those limits make them pretty much useless.

FWIW, I don't carry lead or depleted uranium in mine but I do load them up (all 3, at the same time!) with no ill effects.

YMMV

A guy over at sport-touring.net said his Yammie replacement mounting plate cracked. You can read that thread here.
