"There is a recall coming from Yamaha within the next week for some 2009 FX Nytro (FX10Y, FX10XTY, FX10RTY, FX10TRSY, and FX10MTRY) models. There is a problem with the front suspension’s right side upper A-arm bolt loosening. Currently, Yamaha is working with the CPSC to put together a recall campaign. For now, you might want to double-check your A-arm bolts if you have an 09 FX Nytro."

SledderWorld.com will post the recall in our Snowmobile Recall/Service Bulletin area the moment we receive it. Remember, our recall and service database is the MOST complete anywhere on the 'Net!
I put red Loctite on my upper a-arm inner bolts and haven't had a problem. I would recommend that all put red loctite on these to avoid problems until a official recall is made.

The upper A arm bolt came out on me last year. I ended up putting loctite on it.
If you haven't done so already, definitely check that bolt and snug it up.
I wonder what the fix from Yamaha will.

Can you check/tighten it without removing stuff?

Yes you can tighten the bolt without removing everything. The picture I used was the result of removing the subframe to repair it.

I gess I was prety lucky to have not gotten hurt, anyways when the a-arm let go it wrecked my sub frame, fox shock, bent both uper and lower a-arms, just prety much wrecked my whole front end, cracked oil resivoir ahh you name it and its new under warranty!
