Description of the problem	Rumors arose about an intent to recall all 2015 yamaha yzfr1/r1m motorcycles due to a serious manufacturing defect in the 2nd gear wheel and pinion of the transmission. I called yamaha motor usa on november 25th, 2015 for clarification. I spoke with a customer relations specialist who told me not to ride the motorcycle, that doing so could result in serious personal injury or death. I'm curious why it wasn't a priority for yamaha to notify owners immediately if the issue is serious enough to cause injury or death. I've received the office recall notice outlining what needs to be done. The engine on my brand new motorcycle that i paid a heavy premium for will need to be removed, torn down, repaired then re installed. Yamaha informed me in another phone conversation on december 4th, 2015 that they will not be offering a warranty on this work being performed and that i would just have to trust that the job was done correctly. A repair as intrusive and extensive as this greatly diminishes the safety of the motorcycle as well as the value. I and many many others are severely displeased with the course of action yamaha has taken to remedy this situation.
