To follow-up on many of the other posts and put some numbers to the problem, I thought a poll might be helpful.
And, I know this is a hot topic, but if you comment please keep it civil and productive. If you had success in getting the issue resolved through Yamaha or your dealer, let others know what process worked for you.

Bent subframe replaced under warranty through my dealer/Yamaha. Made sure they were well aware since last season by constantly reminding and reporting to them about the always changing spindle angles and ill handling characteristics caused by it. Balljoints were replaced under warranty at the same time, although the tech said they were not far from spec...it took a while, but I'm satisfied for now, unless this 09 subframe does the same

Some 08's are not bent but were put in a jig wrong or the jig was wrong. That is where mine fits in, no damage just welded wrong............

I've never met a sled I couldn't bend. I haven't heard anything alarming from the Nytro riders I actually know. I've heard lots of stories about bent "nuns" in the REV XPs. SkiDoo has a problem. That DQ'd the new SkiDoos from my list of possibles and cemented the Nytro in the #1 slot.
If you abuse them, they break. Sometimes the abuse is accidental. That's just the way it goes. Nothing on these sleds can't be replaced.

08, bent, not replaceing unless it causes major riding problems. Didn't see an option for "not replacing for whatever reason" or something to that effect, so I didn't vote.

08 Nytro RTX. Twisted suspension in Munising, bent back on the trail to keep shock from rubbing. Sled went to dealer and was checked by Yamaha Rep. and said no damage present so nothing was replaced or repaired. Still stock with warranty remaining.
