Yea, thats what the mecanic said. But quality control concerns me, what about the rest of the bike??? First i did when i got the bike was to tighten a bunch of loose bolts and nuts, protection covers loose etc. I really love the bike and the ride but squeaking rear swingarm came after 900 kms and the factory have send new bearings and rubber seals. I would like it to last a long time and it does not look promising. Yamaha dealer and factory have splendid service and do take responsibility though. But after warranty is off time...........concerns.....

I am happy to annonse my tenere was checked out by the dealer today and oil flow to gearbox was ok, banjo bolts were drilled👍😀. Hopefoully not to many of new tenere owners are affected. Dealer told me evry bike affected will have new engine no matter running ok or not. Good service Yamaha.

Fwiw, I think that is the least that Yamaha should do. Business is business, though. I bet the bean counters checked the cost of removing engines, stripping them, replacing the gearboxes and re-assembling everything.

Probably cheaper to bolt in an engine. But possibly much better PR for the affected customers, too. I think that, for whatever reasons, they are doing the right thing here.

Also very happy for you, Norwegian Mule, that you have an oily gearbox. Nice.
Like you, after I picked up my Tenere from the dealer I had to do the spanner thing. But a few months ago a random bolt flipped into my lap at 110km/h. I found that it had departed from the top left triple clamp, and the other one was really loose. Seems my quality control can be a bit crap, too!
