Need to replace front Pivot on 2014 LTX

[x2thez]

2014 vs 2016 Front Pivot arm for LTX. I have a 2014 and have a crack where the main attachment point is. Noticed it when I went to grease it. It cracked in a similar spot last year and I welded it, now its cracked in a new spot. My question is I thought I read that 2016+ was updated / stronger. When I compare the part numbers they are similar but slightly different. Anyone know if a 2016 will fit or if a 2016+ was updated at all. 2014 is 8JX-G7331-00-00 and 2016 is 8JX-G7331-10-00.

Based on this post where it goes over the format of the Yamaha part numbers, the '01' difference you found between those two part numbers would in fact indicate a design change or revision to the original part and would appear to be what you want; the updated/stronger pivot arm.
