There are a lot of us out here with these first machines off the assembly line that have legitimate issues and are getting little direction from either the factory or the dealers in regards to them. I excpect things to bend and break on a first year machine....I don't expect the very same very well documented problems that Yamaha had involving simple engineering of the damn intake...which led to the very same catastrophic problems that we've been witnessing to date.

"Band-aid" something like a hole in the safety nets..

ENGINEER things like an airbox where we can easily tighten the damn hose clamp on the filter or an intake boot that doesn't fall off making the previous fix mute.(I could get into why in the heck Holz is selling strengthening products...but actuallly, those are the type of things that I can live with if the aftermarket indeed steps up to provide them instead of simply 'promising' to do so and pushing out 'billet OS Bars' instead).

Try posting that on the prcforum....
