The Yamaha Demo rides truck is at our local dealer today and most of the new Nytros have around 1,000 miles on them.
Guess what?
The teflon insert on the bottom ball joint is going out or already gone. 07 up Phazer models have the same problem. They spent most of today pressing new joints in all affected units with, unfortunately, the same junk part. Hopefully Yam will have an updated piece soon, they are aware of the problem.

Hope you don't mind me spreading this around minks.

I replace front end every 500 miles bushings bearings bolts ect. There is some thing going on there. I know the Nytro boys replace every couple hundred. There working on a upgrade spindle joint as we speak. I cant say anymore because I dont know how the project is going, it might fail too, Who know's.

Sounds like you have the inside scoop. How do you know they are working on a spindle joint upgrade?
These are the answers us owners are looking for.
We just want YAMAHA to come out and tell us "YES ... WE KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM ... WE ARE WORKING ON IT, AND YOU WILL BE LOOKED AFTER", but the response we are getting is quite different.
