Bring it to a dealer if they do. Yamaha will cover you.

I agree. It's not that I can guarantee the suspension has never been compressed that far, it's the fact that those compressions shouldn't be able to deform a major suspension component. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

Yeah, in my case, abuse has been ruled out 100%. I owned the bike since zero miles, and rode every one until this happened at 4000. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

I weigh 160. Should not be possible for me to do this without picking the bike up and dropping it on the rear tire. If you've bothered to read the thread, you'll see that this is happened from 4000 miles of normal riding. Improper metallurgy is much more likely than abuse. Sent from my DROID...

SOLD! Thanks for the support guys. Safe riding fellas.

Under $6 for a nice 2011 ;) but seriously, shoot for low $7k range. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

Yeah, my buddy's STI. Fun car. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

Yeah, I could afford it since it's paid off, but garage space is at a premium AND street riding was kind of a bandaid solution compromise until I could move out of the midwest and get back into the mountains. I'd end up spending my weekends riding the other bike almost all the time. One of you...

https://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/4399678261.html Sorry guys, getting out of the FZ8 game to go offroad/backroad riding. Let me know if you're interested. The 2 issues I've had with this bike were someone hitting it, and the suspension arms, which Yamaha replaced (all repaired and well...

30 trips around the old solar fireball for me, so far.

Does anyone on here have direct contact with Yamaha? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

So before work today I picked up my bike from the shop. Yamaha told the dealer they'd never heard of this problem before :mad: and they also needed the bent parts returned to them. I understand them wanting the parts back. So no charge to me, just the danger of riding around with those bent...

So my bike is at Coyote Motorsports in Denver. They talked to Yamaha, and the part/labor will be covered on replacement rear suspension arms. I hope this thread gets everyone to check and/or replace these parts, whether there is a full-on recall or not. I am thankful no one has had a...

The cost in the US of the new 2011/12's was tough to beat also. $US 7000ish was a great deal. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

I think it is. I work at a non-destructive industrial testing lab so this is up our alley. I'm going to PMI it to see what the metal alloy is. In my opinion, it looks like a metallurgical defect because, as stated earlier, it'd be impossible for me to produce enough force to do this. Riding it...

Yeah. I was cleaning it and figured I'd check. I kind of forgot about this thread. Yipes! Anyone getting traction with Yamaha or dealers? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk
