So what has gone wrong exactly? The problem lies in the cam cover of the engine head, where the gasket and o-ring have to be replaced with new bolts and sealed with an adhesive called Loctite. If these bolts happen to come loose and fall into the engine while running, it could cause engine seizure. In case your motorcycle is affected, its advisable to take it to nearest Yamaha service center for a quick repair which will just take 10-20 mins.
