Hey everyone, long time since I have been on here.
Has anyone had problems with the quality of welds on their new Yamaha machines? I purchased a brand new 2022 WR 450, the Aluminum is oxidized in the welds have very little penetration. Raised, incomplete welds,
I Contacted YMCA, They offered me a trade in for my brand new bike.
Why isn’t Yamaha welding 100% off their bike frames?
What you all think?

Just wondering if anyone else bought a bike with a Penis drawn on each side of the bike instead of having a complete weld.
One side has a 1.5” Penis. The other penis weld is not as fortunate at 3/4”.
Is this some kind of sick joke?
