On my 2004 Viper, I had to break down and buy a new hand warmer grip due to the other one failed... Not too shaby for 4,400 tough boondockin' miles. I just thought I would brag about it since it seems like all the other brands like to brag about all the cranks, pistons and engines they have to replace all the time. (with the exception of a few drive belts thru the years) Long live Yamaha Motor Sports!!!
