Nytro Front Ball Joint

[jimmyhighway]

Could someone please confirm if Yamaha will warranty the front lower ball joints. Dealer has not confirmed and warranty is up in two weeks. Thanks in advance.

Yes there is a recall in Canada on the balljoints according to my dealer. I'm getting new ones for free.

Talk to another dealer. I've gotten 2 sets replaced from 2 different dealers. Both covered under warranty - no questions asked.

My dealer replaced mine last week under warranty there is a bulletin.

I called two dealers around here and both of the said that the bulletin is not out yet and the new parts are not available from Yami yet. I am confused though as some people have said they have the updated parts and were replaced on their hot rods.

I am sure that you could go to the dealer and get it replaced with exactly what is being taken off, but I was told I should wait until the updated parts are available.

Does anybody have the bulletin number?

I do not know about warranty (in Sweden), but I had no problems getting two new pairs from my dealer.

would be nice to know what the bulletine says exactly.

 

[jimmyhighway]

Thanks for the info guys! I'll feel much better once this front end is tightened up.

THe current bulletin covers all 2008 nytros and 2007 7008 phazers regardless of warranty status. So theirs no need to rush out.

There is a bulletin in Sweden also, saw it at my dealer the other day.
Not a recall, but if you have the problem and bring it to the dealer they will replace them with the updated ones.
The new updated ones has 3 punchmarks on one side so you can tell the difference by loking at them.

The dealer replaced the ball joints, they also installed the 09 sub-frame on mine.

How bad was yours bent? If I measure mine from a fixed point, like the back of the tunnel or suspension, left side is back 7/8". If you put a degrees wheel on the spindle there is a 5-7 degrees difference between sides. 550 miles.....................
