I just got off the phone with my AC dealer. My 2003 500 ATV has a burned up internal clutch and bent shaft. I am looing at a bill of over $900. This is on a machine with only 300 miles on it. The dealer said he has never seen any clutches burn out this fast and has contacted AC to see if they are willing to do something even though the machine is out of warranty. I will post what happens here.
This comes after engine failure at 1100 miles on a 2004 Pantera 600efi that AC did not cover under warranty, but reprogrammed my ECU and my 2002 ZR having significant driveline problems at less than 2000 miles.
All these machines are checked by a dealer annually. I hope I don't have to walk into a Yamaha dealer.
Am I just a sucker for lemons or have others had problems like this.
