Just wanted everyone to know that my dealer caled me, spoke to my wife, on Saturday and said that I needed to bring my bike in because there was a recall that was just announced on the 07's about the head bolts not being torqued properly and that a new head gasket would be installed. I just love owning the most expensive bike I've ever owned and the first Yamamha by the way AND now they have to take the heads off AND find a way to quiet this obnoxious sounding bike. The sound is bad enough where I really don't even like riding the thing. I'm going to wait until the Spring to have it fixed though because I don't want a new head gasket put on and then the bike sitting in a freezing garage. Anyways, I know these things can be fixed but I'm kind of sour on the Yamaha experience already. In four years, I'll sell this thing with a year left on the warranty and take my money over back to Suzuki or Honda. So anyways, guys with the "new" 07's, give your dealer a call. Take it easy gents.

After the first dealer said, "Hmmm, that wet spot behind your left front cylinder head, we're not sure where it's coming from, let's watch if for a while" and me not caring for that answer, called a second dealer who, at least on the phone, was very, very helpful. He took my VIN and said he'd call back in a few minutes, which he did. He said the 07's may have not had the head bolts torqued correctly. He said Yamaha will replace the gasket and they'll tighten the bolts to spec. Mid-Ohio in Mt. Vernon, OH. Nice, one dealer, not sure what's going on. The other dealer, clearly up to date on his Yamaha's. Just wanted to let other 07' owners be aware, there is a situation with certain 07's out there. Hope this helps. Mike

Over the last two weeks (since the 08 line up came out) I have emailed a half dozen or so dealer in my region, northwest ohio, southern Michigan, northeast Indiana, about an out the door price on an 07 blue/raven. These were dealers that have ran ads on the net and in auto traders listing the 07. Only one dealer responded! and this was a dealer that sold two 07s in the last week. What is going on? I also thought salespersons worked on commission. Can anyone explain to me why a dealer would not jump at the chance to make a sale? I bet Honda would. There now I feel better.

I'm getting different answers. I know my OD light comes on when I switch into 5th. Do the '07s do it in 4th?
