as already mentioned.there was a recall on the 99-03. if the tranny recall work has been done. the neck usually has a punch mark on the neck. if the recall work hasn't been done. then you can opt for some upgrades while the recall work is being done. you pay for upgrade parts & yamaha pays for all the labor.

one last thing.

I am not partial to any brand of bike, with me its what ever works best for me.

When I went looking for a heavier bike it came down to a choice between a HD and the roadie. I chose the Roadie and I haven't looked back.

The bike really performs in the curves, on the superslab, or just buzzing around town. I truthfully just haven't found anything that compares with this bike.

To tell the truth the bike is a little too heavy for my skinny 71 year old frame to horse around in the parking lots, but you can ride it at a crawl.

I just don't think you could make a better choice in a good all around bike.

I really love my roadie. It is one of the best purchases i have ever made. Tons of power and loads of cool. The only thing i have a problem with is the speedo/fuel gauge is very glitchy. Really seems to be the only problem i have on my 05 midnight. God bless, good luck and welcome to the best forum on the net.

from Florida's Space Coast.

Re: Transmission Recall, I don't have any punch marks on my VIN plate or any other indicators mentioned. I called my local dealer who confirmed it was done in 2004. Easy as sin.
