I recently threw a rod, and was told that the entire engine would be replaced under the warranty. I stopped up there yesterday, as they were almost done. took a peek under the hood, and I see they 'supposedly' re-installed my ECP kit on the 'new engine'. I recently had a clutch kit put on, which they felt I should go back to the stock clutch set-up. I said ok, so I wasn't surprised to get charged for that labor. I guess a part of me is skeptical that the engine was replaced. Wouldn't they just put in a new one, and leave it stock, as opposed to removing the ECP from the old one and re-installing? (Which there was no charge for) Looking for ways to approach this with the dealer to find out if they've tried pulling something over on me. Thanks!

I'd believe them. It would cost them a ton more in labor to rebuild your old one, then throw in a new one. I'm surprised with a clutch kit and ecp filters that they replaced it at all. If it runs, I'd count my blessings and be happy. Yammi could have protested the warrantee, and apparently has done right by you. Unless you have a good reason to suspect your dealer, I'd say thank you and bring it home happy.

Its just as easy to put your ECP back on as it is to install the stock airbox. The one thing I might be concerned about is whether they installed the ECP jetting or just left the 135's in it...
Check the serial number on the block. If they changed the engine, it will have a different serial number.

I would think a new engine is just that, a basic engine.
Why would you get new carbs ? In the automotive industry you would get a "long block" which is the block and head assemblies. You would transfer over your carb, exhaust manifolds, starter, alternator, distributor, waterpump etc.
Why should Yamaha give you anymore parts than is actually needed ?
Besides, a new engine wouldn't come with a new airbox. They would have to reinstall your ECP kit.

That's why I asked you guys. LB, you already addressed my main concern that the jets are probably stock and not the 165's. Thanks guys!

Tell them you want to see the old engine that came out. That should clear things up if they produce the blownup one, Ken.

This is a sled, not a car. I've heard that they come with the carbs, starter, etc.Roadrunner said:

He blew the engine, not the carburators. Why would dealer change jets in carbs? Unless engine failure can be traced to a carburation issue, they won't touch them. Won't be hard to see if they changed motor as blowing a rod usually produces a nice hole in block, then your 4 cylinder, becomes a 3 cylinder. The YES warranty guarrantees that they will fix any defects which may have occurred during the manurfacturing process, it doesn't say anywhere that if you have engine problems they have to provide you with a new motor. At most all they have to do is repair your old motor. If they bolted a complete new one in, I feel they have gone above and beyond and you have nothing to compain about. Just my 2 cents.
