It is time for a reality check!! Yamaha Is just a name that get 90% of there parts produced in China!!
Correct me if I am wrong but i believe the 998 block is manufacturer in China also..

I spring ordered a 19 cat evenhough I always bled blue but I also have common sense. Saving 2k for the same sled was a no Brainer for me.
We order 2 sled that season from the same dealer and got a good rebate.
