I received a recall letter from yamaha corporation since january 9,2004 regarding transmission failures. It is march 19th and still have not been able to take my motorcycle into a dealership and all dealerships I have contacted do not know when they will have the parts to fix the transmission. Also the dealership that I bought my motorcycle from is going to fix their motorcycles before they fix customers motorcycles, I have not been able to use my motorcycle for work and is causing some hardship for me and my family, I hope there is something that can be done to help expedite this issue. Thank you.

Power train: manual transmission
- What is wrong
- In the transmission on certain motorcycles, the second/third pinion gear may be incorrectly machined which could cause abnormal wear that eventually results in a broken retainer circlip.
- Risk
- If the circlip breaks, the transmission could lock up, which would also cause the rear wheel to lock up. This could result in loss of control and a crash, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
- Remedy
- Yamaha will replace the transmission gears and shafts with new ones. Owner notification began on september 9, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact yamaha at 1-800-88-yamaha or visit their website at www.yamaha-motor.com.
