Some time after I got my 2004 I was stopped at a light and noticed some movement in the steering head when I rocked the bike. I took it in and they said the bearings were a bit corroded and all the grease was gone, possibly due to wash water getting in past the seals. They replaced the bearings and seals under warranty, no problems since.

had my engine rebuilt twice! :eek: for free!!!:reckon: the clutch blew to pieces and it lodged alum. pieces into the teeth on the crank gear causing a bad knock . the yamaha shop that rebuilt it the first time didn't catch that they replaced everything but the crank and when they got it back together it still knocked...i had to take the bike to another shop to have a specialist listen and look at it...that shop found the prob and replaced the crank...so total bill without warranty almost 3500 my bill $0

I've had 3 sets of mirrors, 2 alarms and an optimiser lead fitted. The alarm still goes off by itself - rubbish!

The mirror pit every winter! UK weather maybe.
