My Yamaha warranty history

You should consider the remote button mod. Seriously, for $300 I would buy the switches and get out the soldering iron.

That's an excellent idea!

As long as whatever stopped working was mechanical and the actual circuitry is still good. Sure worth a shot.

Your instrument button failure isn't a good example for "lack of quality control".

Maybe his fingers need re-calibrating

Or maybe that is why Yamaha made these buttons so hard to reach, so they could then fit lower spec buttons safe in the knowledge people would not press them very often.

While that SUCKS for you, it makes you the posterboy for YES.

We might believe in the drivetrain on this bike outlasting the YES extended coverage. It's true that most of us will have perfectly running Teneres and never need a warranty claim on anything catastrophic.

But this is a perfect example of the kinds of things that can go wrong on even a Yamaha!

And the cost of that button is close to the cost of the extended warranty.

The YES policy is limited to the US I think. In Japan, Yamaha offers a 3 year warranty if you buy from one of its official dealers but as I found out when I bought my year old S10, that warranty is non-transferable. ::007::

You know, we are lucky to even get the bike in the U.S. So often you other folks get what is unobtanium for us.

But once Yamaha decided to bring it here, sure seems like we got the sweetest deal.
