Im with you too, brother. I have a 2002 1200XLT that had one of the oil lines come off and burned up the number 1 piston & cylinder. You're right, you cannot view & check where the oil lines connect to the nipples on the carbs. I have a service manual & taking mine apart now to replace the pistons & cyliners & oil lines. I will put a better clamp than the little plastic wire ties they used originally. The dealer at Lake Norman said they don't work on the 2 cycle models anymore.
I'll definitely reconsider on a Yamaha after seeing this. I'll make sure to spread the word on this one. C'mon Yamaha this is jacked up, do the right thing and buy this gentleman a new engine after all, the reason his engine blew up is because of a defect from the manufacture which has no expiration date for getting it fixed besides it's morally the right thing to do. What will it be Yamaha?
Won't work on anything over 10 years old. Why would I buy something from them if I keep it up and in 10 years they won't work on it. That's CRAZY. Repeat business and service is where they should be making most of their money. I was thinking of buying one from them but will go to Charlotte NC now to look for one. I am also letting all know about Crossroads YAMAHA.
