New part number for timing chain in 2016!!

[Gus13letter]

I was reluctant to start yet, another timing chain thread, but this one is different....

I was looking into something and came across a site that had some 2016 models listed. For the hell of it I looked up a 2016 Yamaha FX SVHO (FC1800R) Parts and low and behold the timing chain number is different than the 2015 and older along with a few other parts!!

Here is a comparison of the parts that I found were different.


2016
3 Sprocket, Cam Chain
6ET-12176-00-00
2015
3 Sprocket, Cam Chain
6D3-12176-10-00

2016
14 Chain
94591-74152-00
2015

Sprockets the same number or is that a typo?

Also if this is the "fix" id just like to say "i told you so" when i said IF yamaha changes anything it will come without admitting anything and a quiet part number change hahahaha

Sorry, I fixed it. I had issues with the format. It is different.

Yeah, I am sure if it is a fix, a recall will cost too much. Maybe they are hoping folks will be out of warranty if it happens so they will be off the hook.

Seems like a fairly straightforward retrofit if it all swaps. Can you buy the parts yet? Whos gonna try it first!?

[SAL08HO]

Good news ... Seems like the chain and the cam gears are going to be different !!! Let's hope for the best but indeed Yamaha will not admit there was an issue !

i can't believe you actually found a 2016 parts list already!

Google it. First search I tried after seeing this thread found it. But I do agree, seems early to be online!

So are you saying I made up the part list? What is the matter with folks.
I wont say where I found the parts but if I google it this is what I find. It is out there...

[Kaybat]

i'm impressed Gus.I would have never even thought about looking for one this early,good job!

No, not at all. I googled it to see if I could find any other 2016 info, definitely not questioning your info at all. Sorry if it came across that way.
I found the 2016 list when I searched

I bet the crank is different.

[Mike H]

It is
2015 crank
6s5-11411-00-00

2016 crank
6et-11411-00-00

Who knows what about them is different

[JFizzleJR]

It seems like only the 2nd and 3rd digit are changing on most of them. I wonder if it could just be a change to a different manufacturer.

[vvinmann]

im willing to bet if they changed the cam sprockets then they must change the crank one too different teeth different chain
