[QUOTE="wnyfjr, post: 1343452, member: 20046"] Update as of this afternoon. Part(s) were on back order and supposedly shipped last Friday and will arrive tomorrow. May have the bike back by Saturday if the tech doesn't run into issues installing a new motor in a wave runner (his current project). She also explained a little about the original recall and why Yamaha was willing to cover this. The original recall procedure was to use a torque wrench at a certain setting to see if the actuator mount bolts turned. If they did, the recall was performed, and parts replaced (still not clear if that was just the actuator or if it also included subframe, but I believe it was both). On my bike, apparently the bolts didn't move (were torqued properly by factory) so in fact no replacement took place. Yamaha apparently now feels it should have been replaced regardless, hence their willingness to cover me. Since I never took mine apart, I can only speculate, but I bet the mount bolts thread into the bracket that is welded to the subframe (no nuts, threads cut into bracket) and that's why I think the original recall replaced both parts. I'll get the full scoop when I go pick it up. [/QUOTE]
