Went to a boat/sportsman show yesterday and a Yamaha rep was there
talking about a recall of the 2002 through 2005 models F225-LF225-F200
and LF200. They have a potentially defective throttle link rods and your
dealer will replace for no charge. He said not to operate the engine
until the problem has been fixed. Maybe you Yamaha owners already aware
of problem, just thought I'd pass it on.
