High all i know this question has probebly been worn out on this site but i am trying to get all the info i can before making my purchase. i am looking to buy a 98 srx 600. from research i have found many sources telling me that all 98 srx units had a crankshaft issue where the crank would slip out of time. i accquired the vin number from the machine i want to purchase (8DF001227) and called yamaha customer support. they told me there was no technical bullitens or recalls for the crankshaft for that vin number. i am very excited about purchasing a new machine for next year but dont want to be stuck with a crankshaft repair that will cost more than the machine is worth. thank you for shedding some light on this for me
