[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 597400, member: 3828"] You look like you have a good handle on the big "heat" (non)issue. Any bike with a big engine and lots of plastic around you will be hot in the summer if you don't take some steps to get cooling air in the rider "capsule". The tickers, in the US, have all been repaired by Yamaha, whether in warranty or not. I cannot recall a single case of someone that was not covered by mamma Yamma. There have been some folks that opted to have additional work done "while they were in there" on the owner's dime, but the repairs needed for the tick were covered. Not many of the 1st gens develop the tick. I think the occurrence rate is down around 20% or less, so you have a good chance of never needing to worry about it. If you do, it is a chronic situation (not acute) and will not leave you stranded on the side of the road or interrupt your big vacation trip (like, say... a blown final drive perhaps? Ach der lieber!). In the grand scheme of things, the tick is a minor issue at worst. Buy the bike and enjoy it!! [/QUOTE]
