broken slide rails on my 05 RX1 Mtn

[rx1tom]

I recently broke both slide rails on my 05 RX1 Mtn where the transfer rods bolt to the rails, it cracked clean through. Has this happened to any one else? Any suggestions or kits out there to strengthen the rails?

Holy moly another one. This is definetly a design problem I think Yamaha better do a recall.

How many other RX1's has this happened to that you know of, and did the dealers warranty it?

 

[Sled Dog]

There has been a few now who have reported this. Take it in right away to get fixed and let us know how you were treated.

I took the sled in last night and my dealer is replacing them under warranty.

While you have it in for warranty. I would check and ask them about the idler wheels bearings cracks in the other components of the rear suspension and ask them what they are going to do about no grease zerts for lubricating the suspension. If they check out your whole suspension they are going to find other problems. You should read all the threads on 05 suspension parts wearing out prematurly because of no grease zerts.

The 05 Mtn has grease zerks on the skid, it is not the mono shock unit, it is the pro mountain skid, but I will have them look for worn out bushings. Thanks for the heads up
