YAMAHA ANNOUNCED A RECALL ON MY 2002 ROADSTAR WARRIOR'S TRANSMISSION AND, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THEY ARE MAKING LITTLE EFFORT TO DISTRIBUTE THE KITS TO FIX THEM. MY DEALER RECENTLY RECEIVED ONE KIT AND THAT'S IT. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAVE DISTRIBUTED NUMEROUS KITS TO CANADA WHERE PEOPLE CAN'T EVEN BEGIN RIDING FOR OVER ANOTHER MONTH! MY MOTORCYCLE IS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE AND, THE RECALL STATES I SHOULD NOT RIDE IT UNTIL THE RECALL IS DONE. SO, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WHILE YAMAHA TAKES MONTHS TO GET THE KITS OUT???? THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!*AK
