Fuel line length. I believe the one to filter. I assume Vipers will be next. Will post more info when I can fully read the release.
Just in the nick of time! We almost went 24hrs without a post in this forum

Oh my I am sure they will scrap the Yamaha Cat venture!
Many saw it coming, said it would never work!
Oh I hope I can get parts in the future.
My dreams of a great motor/drive train company work with a company known for performance chassis is lost.
All TONGUE FIRMLY PLANTED IN CHEEK. We will be fine.

I think that's how it was taken. "Tongue firmly planted in cheek" kind of indicated your intent!

If all 2014 Cats are included and some of the 2015's as it reads, I can't imagine the 2014 Vipers won't be involved in this.

That was my thought if ALL 7000 series Cats are involved.
All the 2014 7000 cats are involved. They only used the motor in the ZR and XF's sleds in 2014 before expanding to others for 2015.
I would also think the Vipers would be announced very quickly, if not already, if they are included, unless Yamaha is still working on their version of notification.

I don't think anyone has seen it or at least posted the recall procedure from Cat yet to know exactly what the exact issue is yet.
Cat had a recall on the 2012 turbos concerning the fuel filter being installed wrong in the clip. It was a super easy fix that anyone could do. I would think they learned a lesson on that one so I would assume it's not the same.
