List of updates to 03 Rx-1

[01srx+03rx1]

Anyone got the comprehensive list of updates that Yamaha has for the 03 model? I've gotten wind of a seat and hood update but cannot confirm.

Yamaha site claims something like 100 changes. The seat is new for 04 as is sway bar front shock springs. Clutching is more aggressive too. Hand warmer reset and on and on. Check Yamaha site.

There was the float bowls, but I don't know if that was for mt. sleds only or not. I would think all of them.

there was also some tracks got replaced loosing clips and tearing lugs, and the heat shield , I had my gauge replaced due to moisture in it and my hood has been done, My dealer is waiting for the seat fix from yamaha so I should hear soon since we all know about it.

+ tunnel reinforcement (mtn only)

How about the mod to stop the cam end plugs from pushing out of the head when it is very cold :!:

never hurd of that one

It happened to me twice, the low oil light comes on because the crankcase breather freezes and builds pressure inside the engine and pops the cam end plug out. Therefore leaking engine oil out of the head. Last years fix was to cut a slit in the breather hose. This years crankcase hose is supposed to be modified preventing this problem :!:

Hey RX1guy...I remember this occuring with only a handful of people last year and I rode in -38C temperatures for a day and did not see this happen. I was woried about it and still am.

RX-1guy, do you know where to cut the hose? I am also concerned of this problem. Is there a better hose to buy? Or will Yamaha look after this?
