mine is junk 1500 miles on it noticed it this weekend both sides bent out and cracked it right to one of the holes on both sides. Calling my dealer tommarow and droping it off. Some rough trail sled. The ice build doesn't help I bet.

IM starting to think my SE is only going to be a 1season sled.

Anyone else get this plate installed? Starting to see a little buckle in my tunnel at the tip up on the tunnel also.

I'm going to get it done, under warranty, shortly as my nearest Dealer is ordering the part. Btw, in case anyone wants to know the part number is 908915015300.

Anyone think the weight of the ice buildup could be what's kinking the tunnels on the SE? My tunnel has a slight kink starting and i never stand on the back of the running boards, beginning to think its the weight of the ice buildup flexing the back of the tunnel when your slamming some big bumps or jumping.

I don't understand why the XTX wasn't included, don't they share tunnels?

My thinking exactly! How did Yamaha come up with a fix so fast?

I'm guessing that this was supposed to be on the SE sleds right from the start, hence the quick fix already.

here's some pics of my extreme rough trail rtx Se tunnel. My dealer is going to put the plates on and then after the season do a tunnel.

What does it look like on the inside of the tunnel...? Some kind of plate or just the bolt for the nut...?
Also, what is included in the part number for this kit...? If you order one piece of this part number, do you get plates for one or both sides of the tunnel...?

Here is a pic: Inside

I would assume the part # is good for both sides but not 100% sure. Check with dealer.

Alatalo, I have checked that allready and regarding my dealer you have to pay 900SEK for the plates, ordered seperatly@450SEK each. Its not covered by Yamaha Sweden.
(close to 100$!)

NLVMAX, thank you for the pictures.

I know, sometimes their warranty policy sucks. But 900 SEK is small compared to some of the modifications I have already done. And it is close to nothing compared to the twenty-something-thousand SEK required for a new tunnel if you manage to do like diesel kid and some others have already done. Because if the "patch kit" is not covered by warranty, then I can not imagine that you will get a cracked tunnel replaced for free...?
