[QUOTE="RBEmerson, post: 1456386, member: 91458"] I can think of one very good reason to consider passing on the gear repair: the engine has to be torn apart to fix the problem. So... replace a gear with a low failure rate, and then cope with whatever surprises come from not putting the motor back together correctly. I had the work done early on in the recall, and genuinely wish I'd left it alone. Aparrently, Yamaha went through a couple of iterations of how to do the job. The first iteration involved a major disassembly, and the second involved some shortcuts. I don't know how it's currently being done, but it does give some cause for concern. OTOH, having to deal with a real failure on the road... Nobody ever promised life would be easy, and meant it. [/QUOTE]
