Vmax recall

[KJShover]

I've been hearing from time to time about a 07 Vmax recall. I haven't recieved any letters about it and for the life of me, I can't find any information on it.

I've only found recalls on the 85, 86, 88, and 89 bikes.

several show the latest recalls are 06 and the max isn't in the list.

WOW! Well I'm guessing you'd have found that out by now with nitrous and everything blowing into them but doesn't hurt to have it gone through.

Mine is fine, I triple-checked everything when I first heard abour it a few months ago, to be on the safe side.

My concern is I bought the thing off the showroom floor in 07, and I've yet to hear anything from Yamaha.

Back in the '80s there was a recall on my truck for something in the steering column and I was notified by Dodge about it. So my thing is where is my letter from Yamaha.

He thought it may be the problem. He hasn't updated his situation after he said he was pulling the engine.
