I have a 400cc Yamaha motorcycle which was imported from Japan as a previously-owned unit. I was told it was an FZ400 model, with the nick ‘Fazer’. The serial number goes like this "4YR 008XXX" and motor number "4YR 007XXX" (last 3 digits concealed). Nothing on the documents tell me what year make it is, and googling for "yamaha FZ400" yields inconclusive results.

Can anyone tell me what year my bike was manufactured and where? Where can I go for authoritative information on Yamaha motorcycles?

How do I sue the *** out of Yamaha motorcycles? I am mad at them because in one of their magazine advertisements they advertise their deadly quad bikes and dirt bikes to elementary school aged children. On the advertisement photo are displayed a girl about the age of 10 and a boy about the age of 12 standing hapilly next to their quad/dirt bikes that their irresponsible parents had purchased for them as if it’s a toy. How could Americans be so retarded? Who in their right mind purchases a death machine for their school aged children? They may never live to be the age of 18. You may never ever see them grow up since the dirt bike you bought them killed them. Or paralized them for life which is even worse. I want to know why you parents do this sort of stuff and why you’re not even arrested for such unethical behavior? Because every year many American children die on such deadly recreation vehicles.

I also what to know what is the process of Sueing Yamaha Motorcycles.

is it real that yamaha motorcycles have poor CRM?and the spare parts are bit cost?.they are opening bike stations in ten major cities including hyderabad .so, yamaha will have a come back with its 125cc yamaha gladiator SS & RS?

I have tried numerous google searches with no luck finding a company that manufactures parts for Yamaha motorcycles. Any suggestions of companies I can try?
