- 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.

Yamaha recall for the xv16 0n 08/22/03 that is on your web site. I received a notice from yamahe on the 01/09/04. Yamaha still does not have the parts to conduct the defect repair. This bike was sold to me by riva south dealer in november 2003. If the bike was on recall the dealer sold me a defective vehicule. This is a bad situation since yamaha is not delivering the required parts to their dealers in a timely manner. What are my rights?
