This problem became very well known no later than 2012. If and when Yamaha fixes this issue, they dragged their heels well over three years, refusing to even acknowledge they might have a problem. Sorry, but this speaks poorly for Yamaha. And they haven't actually fixed anything yet, even with this one customer who has suffered the loss. (Glad nobody was hurt.)Donk said:Yamaha has now recognized there is a problem and is dealing with it. I think that speaks well for Yamaha.
Honestly, I will be flabbergasted if they do any kind of fix for the general population now, although I'm certainly hoping they do. If you go back through these hard start threads, there have been several times when someone has managed to escalate this issue through the chain and found someone who supposedly was going to make something happen. Nothing ever has. I hope this time is different.
The "fix" listed earlier is silly.
