OK TROOPS!
I want someone to post the number of the service bulletin concerning the power-valve update for the Yamaha 1200 engines. I have been told on these bulletin boards that the engine for my 99 XL1200 Limited is affected and needs the updates.
However I received some shocking news this week when I went to my dealer with the facts I had learned on the SBT Bulletin board. I personally spoke with the SERVICE MANAGER about the possiblity of the power valve intruding into the cylinder because of faulty design, and or materials, and of the so-called update bulletins from Yamaha. He looked at me like I was crazy, and said he had NEVER heard of that problem, nor had he repaired that problem in any Yamaha watercraft with the engine I referred to. He went so far as to do a search through all his service bulletins from Yamaha, and even called Yamaha on the phone with my concerns, and Yamaha could not supply him with a service bulletin number that described the problems with the power valves.
NOW, I want someone out there to post the Yamaha Service Bulletin NUMBER that describes this problem and the fix. That way, I can look like I know what I"m talking about when I go back with a print out of some of the pertinent posts about the power valve problem. When I go back to talk to the service manager again, I want to be able to give him a full report.
Thanks,
