Just got a result from Jamie Davies at Yamaha Pricing and Accessories.
Just got confirmation that I will be receiving foc from Yamaha 1no Main ctre stand ( incl p&p to my address) as replacement for broken engine crash bar.
Considering that the original owner purchased these from a third party supplier and fitted himself,(and that the warranty has just expired),I think that the good will shown by Yamaha customer service is worthy of note here.
Thank you Jamie.Davies@yamaha-motor.co.uk
