shed, make sure your ringgear is tight, it will come apart like a grenade if it is loose.

Contact your dealer and make arrangements to bring your 05,06 or 07 RS Vector to him. Yamaha is paying for this and it has a cost of over $700. I just got mine back today and it was under warranty by Yamaha. Can't believe it. MiKe Hayden, 05 RS Vector.

you say yammi is paying for this?

 

[Vectornut]

Check with your dealer as quickly as you can. Let them check over your machine and go from there. They took care of my 05 Vector with 5,000 miles, parts and labor including oil , gaskets, but not the filter. They arn't going to do this forever. MiKe.

will they cover the repair if the chain is "not" making noise? I understood that they would cover the part if it was noisy but not the labor

Is this a American Sled only thing or does this involve Canadian sleds too, not that there is really a difference LOL..I would like some proof that Yamaha is covering this so I can shove it into my dealers face...Why are only some dealers covering it and other haven't heard about it ?? So they say..
