| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The rear suspension shock absorber is rusted at all of the rear welded points. The vehicle has been garaged and is in a low humidity desert of arizona. The rust from the welds has traveled up along where two parts of the shock assembly is connected. There is no way to disassemble the shock to clean off the rust and refinish it. To my knowledge, only the 2015 model year is affected, since yamaha changed the design of the rear shock assembly from 2016. |
