[QUOTE="markjenn, post: 359514, member: 42"] Yamaha has been goodwilling the repair, but it is a little bit of a case-by-case thing and you may need to escalate to get past the initial resistance. I think the main thing you're depending on is the low incidence of failure - that's certainly what I'm depending on with 18K and a quiet engine in my 2005. (But I also don't ride around with one ear down at the cylinder head wondering if if every little noise is the beginnings of the dreaded tick - who needs that!) Regardless of who pays, I have no interest in seeing my bike tore down by the monkeys at a typicaly Yamaha dealership. I could see your bike coming back worse than when it went into the shop. If the risk is of real concern to you, I'd get a 2nd gen. Who is paying wouldn't be a big factor in my decision to buy a 1st gen. - Mark [/QUOTE]
