Mine is washed & gone over after each trip.Yamaha said the center rod is always the frist to go, sounds like an design flaw, the mains and other rods look fine. Oil was changed 800mi. ago and full when it broke. I bought this sled becuase of the warranty, I never keep one out of warranty. My rev's would wreck some trips but it was always covered. This is unreal, said it's "abuse" and no one covers abuse. It's a nytro rtx same sled Roddie's racing on the track according to the DVD yamaha sent me in 07!
you mention your "rep" who exactly have you been speaking with...

My center rod bearing also went, but it did not come apart. When and if my sled is ever fixed I am going over to a Apex, just too many pain in the A issues with the Nytro.
hhhhmmmm everyone says they can put up with the issues because of the motor but what if the motor becomes an issue? Will you put up with that too?

Wow, every time I log on there seems to be another "issue" with these Nytro's....if this gets bigger I will be going back to a 2 stroke. At least they are cheap to fix for the most part. My 06 F7 had 0 issues in 6000 miles and did not require all the fixes this thing has. I love my Nytro but this is getting rediculus. Now Yamaha wants even more money for these machines in 2011. I rode 2strokes in Togwotte last weekend and was suprized on how well they handled and ran. The D8 RMK is a pretty nice sled.......ticking time bomb? maybe but it had warm grips used very little oil and gas and was easy to throw around. I'm starting to rethink my switch to the Yami camp!

x2 except I am switching back to 2 stroke. 4 strokes are too much work
I think its getting internet blown out of proportion...what are we talking about a few sleds out of thousands ..if this was a wide problem , word would be traveling like wildfire...
also, some of the motors in question...there might be other circumstances...

I own an 09 D8 and your statement of using little oil and gas could not be further from the truth. I have yet to ride at any speed, condition, or group of people where my sled has not used the most fuel out of any sled in the group at every fill up. My D8 now has a scored piston so I rode my wife's Nytro last weekend in the UP. I was filling my nytro and my brothers Nytro together with 87 octane for about $1-$2.00 less than it took a friend to fill a single 700 dragon with premium at most stops. In my Dragon's defense my wife hates the way the Nytro handles so she rides my dragon when we ride together anyway.

My experiance is probly out of context from yours as we were riding off trail in 10,000+ ft of elevation and not buzzing down the trail at high speeds all day. I was suprized at how little oil and gas we put in after a day of riding, this was comparing it to a M8 that we had the day before. I guess I didnt have a Nytro or any other 4stroke to compare it to so maybe it was a pig. But regaurdless with the E-tek out there 2strokes are advancing and becoming very comparable to the 4strokes. Yamaha please pay attention to these issues.
