Frustrated with Yamaha

[picasso]

Oh boy. I’m so frustrated with Yamaha.
Here is the situation:
I have 2 2015 Vipers, both need an idle air control valve. They are not functioning properly according to the dealer that tested them. both sleds won’t stay running when cold without a little bit of throttle. Once warm, all is well.
before anyone gives me other possible causes, I watched them test the IAC. It failed on both sleds. In fact one got so hot, in 15 seconds it burned the tech.

so...... in order to get the IAC valve, I would have to purchase a complete throttle body at around $800 plus labor to calibrate it. On each sled. I tried calling Yamaha customer care. They basically won’t help me try and find the part from the supplier or tell me who the supplier is. I asked to speake to someone that can make decisions, or higher up. Was told I was talking to that person.

Any ideas?

WE all know who there suppler likely is..... over the pond someplace. Sorry to hear such a expensive fix when it should cost very little in reality .Dont let up on Yamaha doing SOMTHING for you.
Any ideas?

Sorry to hear that your in this predicament, usually your dealer would have a Rep, this would be the person that would approve some sort of help with your sleds, your dealer should be on the horn to him getting you some info, these sleds can be hard to source parts where everything seems to be on back order, Cat DNA could possibly be the culprit, Cat maybe another place to source parts also.

Nytro IAC valve, looks like the one on my viper

 

[ClutchMaster]

I would be willing to bet it’s the same valve

 

[ClutchMaster]

BTW there is no calibration on the valve, bolt it on and go.
Don’t let your dealer BS you into thinking it needs calibration.

Good to know. This is the part. I was hoping for new. But this might be my only option

 

[ClutchMaster]

Yep it will work.
Well I’m 99 percent sure it will

The Viper IAC won’t directly cross over but the they quit listing the IAC valves separately in 2009. You will see the that the 2008 nytro and 2010 nytro use the same exact complete throttle body part number. 2008 and 2010 IAC are therefore the same.

This is the yamaha part number for the IAC valve

im not sure, but the 2010 and 2009 throttle bodies are different than my 2015 viper. They have different part numbers

Maybe they are the same? Part numbers are really close. This sure would be great if this works! I’ll have to run these tomorrow

It’s obvious they didn’t change the part, just stopped offering it as a replacement.
You can get a brand new one for $138.

Maybe BOP has one that you can return if it doesn’t fit.



It will tho
