    All y'all that have 700's need to check you rear brake line where it runs under your air intake tube ! This is a pic of mine (08) with a lil over 5k miles..."age" doesn't matter tho...Trav's bike is a 12 ; and , his blew out a few months ago ! I looked at mine when his went out and it didn't look like this...needless to say , I have "another" project to do bfor next wkend.

    This is very important to know about. Thanks for the heads up. I would expect that this will become a recall before too long due to the safety aspect. It might be a good idea to report this to Yamaha such that they can nip it in the bud.
