[QUOTE="Roadhound, post: 210356, member: 3825"] Believe me, I hope you are right but the fact that Yamaha redesigned the guides so extremely for the new bikes that it required an update to the head "only" to accept the redesigned guides may be a hidden message from Yamaha! Think of it this way! If Yamaha was totally confident that the replacement guides and new seals in your bike and mine was the answer to this problem, why would they spend the money to redesign another guide AND make machining changes to what is actually the same head. Again, I hope you are right but on the motocycle registery there are FJRs that started ticking at 3,000 miles to about 60,000 miles. I know some may think I should "shut up and just ride it or sell it"! I now realize that that is the attitude Yamaha is counting on for their "bandaid" to be successful! Roadhound [/QUOTE]
