Start went bad and engine would not start. I tried tp get the dealer to repair the problem repeatedly under warranty when inital symptoms started to occur but was told it could not repaired until it failed, which of course was after the warranty had expired.

The starter bolts are twisted indicating internal problems. This is a problem common to this make and model. While yamaha has yet to recall this defective starter, they have replaced it on its current models indicating they are indeed aware of the problem. This implies guilt on their part but the burden is on the owner's expense.
