The dreaded front sprocket nut!

[Joolz]

I found the tech bulletin where Yamaha accept the problem and advise dealers to change to nut, but I notice that they only think there was a problem with '99 models onwards, if I had said it was a '99 and not a '98 would I have got a different answer from the guy on the parts desk I wonder?


I also noticed that the bulletin was issued by Yamaha USA, were the UK dealers similarly notified?


I'll go down the dealers and see what response I get claiming it's a '99 model, and then order the part number in the ebay listing anyway.
