Service Bulletins/Recalls

[Stinson]

I plan to drop off my 2014 Viper to take care of three warranty items:
1. Reverse actuator
2. Fuel line recall
3. ECU reflash

Wondering if there are other bulletin items that I am not aware of that I should mention to the dealer? I rode 2,350 miles last season with zero problems. I hope another trouble free season is in the cards this season.

That's it. Reflash is not available yet though.

The dealer told me today that he is hoping the reflash would be available by the end of the week. I won't drop it off until it can be done, no sense making two trips.
Thanks

I've been hearing 'call back next week' for 3 weeks now. Really wish AC/Yami would get this together, they could save their dealers a lot of hassle with so many people who are going to want all three updates at the same time, and just waiting for the remap tools to come in. There is going to be a big back log once it finally happens

True. But I plan to just ride my sled to the dealer for the reflash. We made all last year without it so not going to stop me. Fuel line is a different story but it's easily accessed and anyone can see if a clamp isn't crimped or a line about to come off. Need to get it in for that though just for the record. Officially the fuel line is mandatory but it is your sled.

I never received anything from Yamaha about the fuel line recall or the reflash. Called my dealer yesterday inquiring about it and my Sled is part of the fuel line recall but when I asked about the ecu reflash he knew nothing about it. I scheduled the fuel line update because he had one left on the shelf and said that they had ordered more but the show them not coming in until middle December at the earliest so I figured I had better get that done at least.

They only replace the line if original fails the exam.

The fuel line is not an update it is a measurement to see if the clamps have been crimped enough, if they are not crimped enough they are crimped more.
The fuel line update kit part should start with (once upon a time)

They also check to see if the fuel lines have been installed correctly.
They have a tool to check the crimps on the clamps.
They use the same tool to replace the clamps when the fuel filter is replaced.

I took mine in last week. Service manager was knowledgeable. In addition to above I was also advised of a fuel pump relay issue that Yamaha is evidently replacing when they fail (as they should). Bummer is you have to either wait for it to go out (i.e, wait for it to die on an expensive trip in the middle of nowhere, have it towed back) and they will cheerfully give you a new one provided you hand them a failed part. Or....pay 15.00 for the updated one and install it your self.

I think the fuel pump relay is from your Nytro.
