Thanks for that. You've restored my confidence a bit. I've never had a new bike from yamaha before. I must admit my local dealer have always been helpful. Its just a big disapiontment to think I've spent the best part of £8.000 on a bike that could quite possibly be pulled to bits. It gets me wondering if there is something else thats going to go wrong. I was unaware of the legal side of things, thanks again
