[QUOTE="S. Speaks, post: 180259, member: 25223"] [b]02 YZ 250 Engine Case Flaws / Cracks[/b] I agree with you guys that think the 02 YZ 250 rules. I bought a new one last month and was totally blown away with its awesome and electric feeling motor. I weigh around 220 pounds and the thing still scares me sometimes. The suspension is a little rigid but after riding it a little and some adjusting it’s pretty good. I’m no authority on suspension setup but I like the way my bike handles now. I did notice that the front tire seems like it wants to kick out but a good bit of that was cured with adjusting the front forks. Anyway, the comment I have about it is that I discovered that it has like a flaw in the casting of the case on the left side above where the shaft comes out of the engine. There are some cracks running through the “flaw” and up to the holes where the case is bolted together. It doesn’t leak oil or anything but it looks like it could get worse in the future. I took it back to the dealer and he said that it was a flaw and that Yamaha is good about fixing stuff like that even though there’s no warranty. He got the new case in from Yamaha and discovered it had the same exact “flaw” and cracks in it! He then contacted Yamaha whom told him that it was normal and that there wasn’t anything wrong. They said that it wouldn’t break any farther. He told me what had happened that I could see the new part for myself. I did and brought the bike back home. I asked him that if it broke in six months to a year would Yamaha be likely to fix it. He told me no! Have any of you had this problem with your bikes? If so, what have you found out about it? Do you think it will lead to more serious problems? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :think [/QUOTE]
