Yamaha rebuilt it when it was only a few weeks old. The air filter was not oiled when he bought it and it let dirt in and it blew!!

I'd be devastated.
Sorry this happened Chad... I know how much I love mine.
Hope they fix it.
Ride Safe,
Chuck

The warranty was voided when I snorkeled it. It is heading to the shop in the am for a bbk. Depends on the level of damage as to what I get done. If it isn't real bad i am gona put the 686 kit in it. If it needs new rods or anything then I am gonna go ahead and get it stroked to the 800.
BTW, 253 miles and 2 engines. So much for Yamaha quality control.

I have no idea. They haven't taken it apart yet. But while they have it down might as well add a few horses.

Just ordered a set of the new ss112 rims in chrome. They should look good with the other chrome parts.

Poor Chad....He has a room full of parts and no Rhino. All picking aside I know it is gonna look SWEET (literally)
Can wait to see those rims. I wanted those but I was afraid of how they would hold up to scratches.

lmao, you a-holes! I have been out of town for the weekend. Was pretty nice to sit at the pool and look over the beach and drink some pina coladas(sp). Here is a sneak peak of what is coming.
