He is in Ireland....
To use the Sales of Goods Act, you only have a claim against the business that sold you the goods, not the manufacturer. The dealer (assuming it was a dealer) would then need to make a claim against the buisness they bought it from, very messy with second hand goods, especially if they were not the supplying dealer initially. But in the end, as a customer you shouldn't concern yourself with what the supplier has to do. The law is there to protect consumers.
I'm not aware of any dealers being brought to book over this act. I know Bear had an issue with his ignition and was armed with the information he needed, but the dealer capitulated before he had to use the Act.
The 2 year warrenty, is a European Warrenty, so you are OK in Ireland.
Interesting about Norway, is the 5 year warrenty somehow supported by local legislation ? I can't see Yamaha offering different warrenties unless they are forced to.
