    2020 SHO cowling crack

    I discovered a hairline crack in my cowling today when I took the engine cover off. Have no idea how it got there. The last time cover was off was at annual service. Delivered it with cover on and picked it up with cover on. Crack could have already been there. It’s a vertical crack from the top of the side panel. Not overly concerned unless it could spread. Engine is under warranty but not sure it covers cowling cracks.

    I'd ask the dealer you bought it from or Yamaha and I would do so asap. Just to try and cover yourself.

    I had one crack and it was replaced under warranty. I noticed waxing cowling this year I have another very small hairline crack again! It is not even close to the same area. Bad luck I guess...
