On my 2003 RX1 with no mods 5400 miles the #2 rod bearing let go taking out the cases/crank.I am currently battling with YAMAHA TO GET SOME HELP ON REPAIRS.HAS anyone else had this problem?

I've heard of very few failures. Any idea what caused it? Did it run out of oil?
Good Luck with the repairs!!

the ones I have heard of the rod nut backed off causing the failure.
There was no noise before the failurebut when I disassbled it appeared that the nut had back off of the rod.According to YAMAHA the bearing failed first causing the nut to back off.Which is bull.If I can get others with same issue maybe we can wake up the mothership{YAmahaAA]TO OUR PLIGHT. :exc:
