Part has been recalled, manufacturer refused to repair. I have been waiting for over 3 months for yamaha to ship replacement parts. I have explained that this motorcycle is my only source of transportation. The recall notice stated that operation of this vehicle could cause "injury or death" I have called cs dept and spoke w/ candy several times and aside from being uncooperative and rude, she is either unwilling or unable to help me. I wonder if they will be more cooperative when the part wears out and someone is killed.
