YAMAHA RECALL FOR THE XV16 0N 08/22/03 THAT IS ON YOUR WEB SITE. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM YAMAHE ON THE 01/09/04. YAMAHA STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO CONDUCT THE DEFECT REPAIR. THIS BIKE WAS SOLD TO ME BY RIVA SOUTH DEALER IN NOVEMBER 2003. IF THE BIKE WAS ON RECALL THE DEALER SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE VEHICULE. THIS IS A BAD SITUATION SINCE YAMAHA IS NOT DELIVERING THE REQUIRED PARTS TO THEIR DEALERS IN A TIMELY MANNER. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS? I AM PAYING HIGH INSURANCE AND HAVE LOST MY SOLE METHOD OF TRANSPORTATION. RIVE SOUTH. MR. MIKE MARTIN 305-451-3320
