Split Tail 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
My rear fender has a crack in the middle, I dont know if it's stress or just wagging.

Re:Split Tail 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
I had the same thing happen tome a few years ago on my 2002. I called Yamaha and they blew me off stating they had already corrected the problem. Obviously they didn't. I found a fender on craigslist and a procedure on this site to re-enforce
the fender. The guy who did the welding believed it was a design flaw which eventually split the fender caused by normal vibration.

Had the same issue on my 03'. Welded the inside and fabricated an extension that I turned into a hitch. No more wagging.
