Be funny if it turned out that they still used the old O-ring setup. I'm not serious.

Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 2009-2011 VMX17YB, YCB, ZR, ZCR, AG, and ACG model motorcycles. On affected motorcycles, abnormally high oil pressure can build up inside the oil pump. This pressure can force the thrust washer on the oil pump shaft against the oil pump housing, causing wear. When too much wear has occured, the pin detaches from the inner rotor. If this happens, oil will stop pumping through the engine, resulting in severe engine damage that can cause the engine to stall and not restart again, resulting in the possibility of a crash with injury or death.
A Technical Bulletin with all necessary information will be provided in the near future.
Until then, please suspend sale of any 009-20011 VMX17(VMAX) motorcycles in your inventory.

Assuming Yamaha being cautious.. There are GenII's with well over 40,000 miles with no issues. I have almost 16000 on mine with no issues. If they do come out with the recall, it should be easy enough for them to do.

:lol_hitting: all the R&D of the last 25 years...and they STILL,after the "red light of doom" and the "O-ring of death", managed to botch the oil system on their monster.
For goodness sake, dont any of their R&D guys belong to this forum?
They woulda gotten some HONEST opinion on what needs fixed:clapping:
Not sayin I wouldnt give my left nut in a glass jar and my Gen1 to get a Gen2 but I think Ill wait for a few more kinks to get worked out of it.

Not an O ring issue.

One could only hope, but as the first years if the new generation these things are expected. My ideal is to get an 09 to build. That day my first year Gen1 and my first year Gen2 can share space in my garage.
Maybe it's silly, maybe I'm stubborn. But I like having the first year, when it's all still kinda unknown.
If they would've gave Morley a Gen II they would've found the issue a lot sooner than 16,000 miles.

This normally happens when oil pressure relif valve is poorly designed - nothing new in automotice industry....shame on you yamaha...
