I know there has been a lot of talk about why the hazard switch was taken off the tenere in the states. I talked to a tech there and all he could tell me was it is not required here in the state. I asked him if Yamaha was concerned about rider safety, and it is an important feature that should be on the bike. Again all he could say was Yamaha did not have to put it on the bike because it was not a DOT regulation. So I asked him to talk to a supervisor and he had one call me back today. I had a long talk with him and all he could tell me it was not a DOT requirement so Yamaha took it off. I asked him if the switch could be made available here. He told me I was the first person to ask for it or bring up the safety issues of not having it on the bike. I told him that is crazy, if you look on the Web you would see a lot of talk about bikes missing Hazard switches. He also said if more people would call into Yamaha about it then they would look into making it available here in the US. So who ever feels that Yamaha should make it available here then give them a call. Here is the numbers to call 800-962-7926, and the direct number to the supervisor I talked to is 714-761-7300. Give them a call and maybe we can get the controls here.
