My 08 RTX is at the dealer getting a new subframe under warrenty. Does anyone know do they replace it with a 09 subframe or a reinforced 08? Also what are the differences between the 08 and the replacement?

The 08 is dis-continued and superceeded by the 09 subframe. There are no differences between the two except for the stiffening plate added to the sway bar area and another one added to the area between the lower control arms.

Mine is at the dealer being replaced - was told it will be an updated '08 frame that has been re-inforced from the original stock item.

Its still there as of Tues. But my dealer said nothing to me about it being on back order. Its been there for two weeks already so I hope its not too much longer. I'll call him tomarrow and post the results once I hear from him.

Mine is booked for tomorrow - should be ready for Friday. Has been in the shop for three weeks by the time it is done. I work remotely so had not pushed but sounds like someone screwed up the schedule.

My sled is home - all repairs were covered under warranty. Thanks to my dealer and Yamaha for the great support!

Why dont you guys just wait and have it fixed at the end of the season. You can bend it back and not have any down time.

I work shift so only missed a week of Nytro riding and have my Apex GT as a back up ride.
My spindle was snapped so needed to be replaced, not just a simple bend.
Good point otherwise

Got mine back on friday. Put 130 miles on in Sat. Everything was covered under warrenty. New starter relay, stator, and main wire harness. Also got a new subframe. Didnt cost me a penny. The sled has never been better. Big thank you to Bob at Rock River Powersports.
