| Failed shaft that drives internal oil pump caused extensive internal engine damage-purchasing dealer mechanic said o.k. to ride with clanking noise-took to other yamaha dealer for immediate attention-led to final diagnosis of no oil pressure or circulation due to pump shaft failure and subsequent metallic fragments scoring all major internal engine components | |||

| No oil was being sent to the engine causing the engine to seize. could have been deadly if riding when incident occured. manufacturer says they will not replace motor or motorcycle. feel completely unsafe riding this bike even after the motor is rebuilt. don't understand why a brand new motorcycle would have this kind of failure and the manufacturer not stand behind their product and replace it. | |||
