not sure if the pic came through,tried my cel phone as am having troubles getting the phone to sync with my computer,anyways it broke close to the engine head.

Yes sir. That can be fixed no problem. Might need a ball flange added in like the ones Yamaha added to the 700's.

My dealer has one on order,should be warranty, might be able to braze it,if takes too long,am holding it together with some tin and hose clamps for now

vibration musta got it with the hot hot hot hot temps then cold then hot

Yes, these machines run pretty lean from the factory. The constant heating and cooling makes that area very brittle. I imagine it will continue to happen. This is why I recommend some sort of ball or flex joint added to this area.

this looks like a good fix,but I don't think there is enough room between the frame and pipe.

Look into limiting engine movement, too. A brace w/ additional rubber mount up top at the cylinder head will do wonders.

 

[TINKEN]

Doesn't have to be added right at the crack, looks like there is room down the pipe a bit.

Put some JB Weld on it and you are all set!

I can't do too much yet until Yamaha decides if it's warranty as they will want the pipe back,i just hope it's not six months down the road like the rest of issues it's almost like Yamaha built the cart before the horse when it comes to getting parts

Same goes for accessories. Salesman said getting genuine Yamaha acc. Is near impossible. Been waiting nearly month for my over fenders.

it took six months for mine to arrive,but found them on ebay earlier and cancelled my order.

 

[Roadymi]

I already paid for them as part of my initial purchase.

 

[trailcutter]

that's too bad,some of our sponsors have them in stock.

 

[stryker]

thanks

 

[Big Dog Daddy]

Check Rockymountainatv. They sell the Yamaha over fenders for less than Yamaha.

 

[stryker]
