    05 RX-1...Broken W-Arm, Cracked Rails, Damaged Track

    Well, after 12 years, a 97 500 XTC, a 98 700 XTC, an 01 700 SXR, an 03 600 V-Max and, unfortunately, an 05 RX-1, I have left my dedication for Yamaha and it's poor customer warranty relations in the dust and have converted back to an 09 Polaris 600ho IQ. The final straw with that RX-1 was the...

    top speed 2003 rx1

    My 05 in probably the best conditions ever other than glare ice would hit 98.6mph on GPS at an indicated 111mph. My buddy who was with us that evening on the same exact sled got 98.7mph. The day before in the same location (Redfield Reservoir in NYS) I had an indicated 117mph. This was out of...

    05 RX-1...Broken W-Arm, Cracked Rails, Damaged Track

    You know, the funny thing about the whole deal is in the fall before the season started I went over the entire suspension in my pre-season PM and it looked to be in remarkably good condition. I was actually quite surprised to find there were no grease fittings on the 05 mono as well. I was well...

    05 RX-1...Broken W-Arm, Cracked Rails, Damaged Track

    My problem lays more with Yamaha than the dealer in this situation other than putting it back together with bad bearings. That was never known until the second ride after getting it back so it was never brought up until I came in for new wheels. I've spent a lot of cash through this place over...

    05 RX-1...Broken W-Arm, Cracked Rails, Damaged Track

    You think it's fair that you spend extra cash out of your pocket to buy an extended warranty to cover these situations, especially on a well documented problem, and they take a crap down your throat? What exactly should I own up to? Going down a flat trail that I groomed two hours earlier and...

    05 RX-1...Broken W-Arm, Cracked Rails, Damaged Track

    In The End I went rounds with Yamaha for two days. It got to the point that the little sweet heart (in other words-The lying b!tch) that answered the phone and took care of my warranty claim quit accepting my calls. What she didn't know is I have 7 different phone numbers. I was lied two more...

    05 RX-1...Broken W-Arm, Cracked Rails, Damaged Track

    I was going to go that route but they already had my sled apart buy the time I talked to Yamaha. Hopefully there will be some mind changing. My dealer said he was glad I called them because sometimes that's what it takes to get them to cover stuff. He said they give them a straight up answer and...

    05 RX-1...Broken W-Arm, Cracked Rails, Damaged Track

    Update Well Yamaha says they will cover the parts but not the labor. Track and all. I'm not at all happy with this decision so I put in a personal call to Yamaha. They tell me my dealer told me the W-arm broke from a hard impact. So off to my dealer I went with a bit of fire in my eyes. My...

    05 RX-1...Broken W-Arm, Cracked Rails, Damaged Track

    Thanks For The Replies So far I haven't heard from my dealer. This was suppose to be taken care of Monday and so far, no call. Hopefully that's a good sign as I would hope they would call me if Yamaha wasn't going to cover this to approve any work. I can do this crap myself if I have to buy the...

    05 RX-1...Broken W-Arm, Cracked Rails, Damaged Track

    My 05 RX-1 is currently at the dealers with the above problems. The W-Arm broke at the welds for the transfer rod mount causing the drive nubs on the track to be ground up pretty good and upon further inspection at the dealers we found the rails to be cracked as well. The sled has 3500 miles on...
