Just received my letter. I have the original 2012 pre-order U.S. bike.
That would be great! Just got the letter for my 2012. This is the third recall (after O-ring, headlight harness). My local dealer has been fantastic with these (Grand Prix in Santa Clara).I have the complete instructions for the recall. (17 pages) I will get them scanned tomorrow if anyone wants a copy before they decide if they want to tackle this at home.
Yes, no time expiration, and any Yamaha dealer can do it.I just got my recall notice in the mail, don't think I'm going to be able to get this taken care of before winter starts, this can be done anytime anywhere right?
Greetings jrussel,I picked up my bike from dealer today. Mechanic says it went fine, but took 3.5 hours vs the 2hrs Yamaha allow for the work. I had also had stripped the bodywork off before I dropped it off because of the crash bars I have installed.

Haven't ridden the bike yet, but I never had the issue before and hopefully no issues now.
You may want to contact the dealer and find out.I just got my recall notice in the mail, don't think I'm going to be able to get this taken care of before winter starts, this can be done anytime anywhere right?
When i had my wiring harness replaced the service manager charged me $30.00 because he had to remove my Alt Rider bars.Alt rider crash bars.
I briefly saw the instructions last week and they indicated removal of both side panels was required. I figured it would be better for me to remove them. Didn't want them scratching the plastic or finding out later they wanted extra money to remove the crash bars because they couldn't get the bodywork off easily.
All the plastic will come off with the crash bars in place. Just takes a couple of times to figure out how to do it.
No need to remove crash bars or skid plate. If you are trucking the bike to a dealer like I did, just take it off at home so you don't need to worry about them scratching anything.
The recall instructions require the side panels,(upper+lower) tank, airbox all be removed.
Also the battery, and all relays/ecu etc on the right side come off. Then the plastic tray these relays/wiring is attached to is also removed from the bike.
You may be able to complete the work with some of this stuff in place, but the instructions in the recall has the removal of a ton of stuff before you get started with the rewiring.
Thanks for the thorough reply. I have taken off the lowers on both sides (to replace the battery and a general clean up when I bought the bike this past June) with the ALTs still in place but never the painted uppers.Alt rider crash bars.

Thanks again, hopefully the part arrives this week and I can take it from there.No issue riding the bike without plastic panels.
