Hi guys
so this has happened to me too. the nut and tab washer has come off, allowing my inner sprocket to damage the drive shaft (or something like that)
i went into my local ymaha dealer and after much too-ing and fro-ing they have come back to me saying that because i am still on the original chain and sprocket and theres no proof it has ever been tampered with (which as far as im aware it hasnt, even at 24000 miles) that yamaha will supply all the new parts and 11.5 hours labour out of 'courtesy' (not warrenty - they liked to make this clear)
now the garage is telling me that 11.5 hours is not enough time and they require 16 hours labour for the engine rebuild + consumables, and at dealership prices thats coming out at a £370 bill for me, though they estimated if yamaha didnt contribute it would be £1700!!
I just want to ask how many hours labout it has taken for anyone else to have the rebuild and if they had to part with any of their own cash because of it - to make sure they're not trying to fleece me to get something for themselves out of this.
cheers
