Hear that from a Polaris dealer salesman? Hahahaha. There's talk that the current motors are made by a subsidiary company of Subaru that Yamaha acquired. Don't quote me there. I've slept since I heard the story. There's very few complaints on the 708 motor. It had some growing pains like anything new but everyone I've heard is reporting it's solid.

I don't know about the new ones, but if it's any indicator, all the parts I just bought for the '09 stator upgrade, i.e. crankcase cover, water pump bearing, seals, gasket, etc. all said "Japan" on them.

I have to... but

That is direct from Yamaha so should be considered a credible source.global.yamaha-motor.com said:With regard to the transfer of technological assets, Fuji Heavy Industries will specifically, transfer to Yamaha Motor Powered Products Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kakegawa, Shizuoka, Japan, President: Osamu Ishioka, 100% subsidiary of Yamaha, hereafter “YMPC”) technology relating to three products, namely, EH65, EH72, and EH65V of the EH Series V-Twin Overhead Valve multi-purpose engine range, which are used in large generators and large lawn mowing machinery etc. . The acquisition of this technology will enable YMPC to sell the EH Series V-Twin Overhead Valve multi-purpose engines both within Japan and overseas.
In other news, I've heard that Polaris has moved their engineering department to Montessori education centers.
:wink2:
I bought all the parts from Yamaha Sports Plaza, based on a list that the guys on this forum provided. The new stator came from RM Stator.Which kit did you use?

I heard that, too... They were in talks with my daughter's kindergarten class not long ago. Too bad they went another direction... I really felt her class would get them straightened out.In other news, I've heard that Polaris has moved their engineering department to Montessori education centers.
