Phazer Spindle issues.

The dealer changed mine and they had to use a torch to get the ball joints out of the a arms.

I called Yamaha Canada and they said those joints have a bulletin, not a recall. The bulletin was for the dealer to add lock-tight to the nut. Royal Distributing has upper and lower ball joints for good price.

wow this is an oldie.

but a good reminder! I JUST changed mine last year with 9,000 miles on the lowers, and they weren't completely shot. I use a spray can of White Lithium grease to hose them down after every ride.
