I am still waiting for a reply from Yamaha relatinging to my last communication, which was three months ago! Time to chase them up again me thinks.
BTW, your bike is very unlikely to be a 2012 model as its engine number comes from a sequence issued in... you guessed it 2009! It falls slap bang in the middle of the range of bikes that have exhibited this problem. I would guess that it was unregistered old stock in 2011 and then bought and registered?
FYI - The affected engine range based on data collected is: M311E-006404 to M311E-0009244
Note: I've removed the frame and engine numbers for security - we don't want anyone cloning your bike!

Hi mate. How goes this crusade? I've not been an owner long, just bought 09 which now has 12 600km on it.....and yep, gearbox has just gone!
Can't say I noticed anything change. I was doing about 70km/h in 3rd, shifted to 4th, and it made a hell of a racket. Went bang into 1st by the feel of it (luckily I was hard on the brake and had no one behind me) and she was locked!! 35min walk later and glad my old ute started so I could go pick it up!!
Tomorrow afternoon I will PM you the bike details if that helps? I might even call Yamaha myself and see what they say...
Otherwise it's going to be a learning curve to rebuild a gearbox I guess!!
Cheers.
