Received the letter a couple of days ago, but not in any hurray either. Will wait for my next service to do the work as I don't see any leaking.

I got my letter yesterday also. I've got 11,600 miles and no signs of any leaks. I'm going to be taking my 2010 Concours in to get the warped front rotors replaced soon, so I'll ask the service manager then about the Yamaha recall. I dont really care if they do it or not but if its something that Yamaha will pay them for, I'll let them do it.
Times are tough and they might need some work. I've known a couple of the guys there for a long time.

I got my letter yesterday. No leaky-no fixy for me at this time.

I will talk to my dealer about it and also about the weak starting and see if he will investigate with Yamaha. I'm sure he will check on it. Something is telling me this will be an issue with mine in the future.

I am very happy with mine and the worry about the weak starting goes away each time it starts until the next time I push the start button. ???

I hope Yamaha is not like Ford. I've gotten probably 50 recall notices I've ignored on my van and truck. Van is almost 20yrs old now! I guess no time limitations on these idiotic recalls. Brake fluid could leak, start on fire then the 100ft high flames as seen on CNN. Come on, since when in the hell did brake fluid become flammable? Oh yea it leaks on wiring then the non-flammable casing of wiring mixed with brake fluid becomes a lethal mix. I see these recalls, weigh the odds of the serious danger and make my own choice which is normally to take my chances and I wish when I made my choice they would quit the flock bugging me over and over about the same rediculous thing for 20 straight years.
I ain't touching mine either Ron. If it ain't broke I certainly don't go looking for a reason to tear into it or have some unqualified kid mechanic 20 years my junior go wrenching on my bike just because the manufacturer said it needed it. I could write a book on the recall letters I have received from Toyota concerning my '10 Tundra which was suppose to have a sticking accelerator pedal, bad TPM sensors, floor mats that move to which none of this has been any friggin issue on my truck in 27k miles. it's the US of A where everyone sues someone day in day out and lawyers and bankers run this country.

Break the ring/cycle people if your bikes not leaking right now why do you feel the urge to go let a half witt make it start leaking. Trust me I went through all this with Suzuki way back in 1998. The bike never leaked a drop until the recall letter said bring it back or it'll explode. Well I did and it took 3 o-rings replacement tries and then a whole new tank to stop it. Not anymore but y'all go do as you please it's your scooter.

Mothership YAMAHA is just covering their ass plain and simple because ONE sprung a leak and it's gasoline we are dealing with here. ;)

My GREAT dealer called last week about it...said that he knew that nobody worked on my bikes except me; so he is sending me the part(s) and instructions.

No leaks, no worries.
