This is the exact thought that went through my mind. I know I've heard the heat issue was resolved in 2006, but that does nothing to repair my shattered regard for Yamaha for releasing the 2004 as it was. It's difficult for me to believe their test riders said, "It's hot, but I think riders in Greenland will enjoy that feature." Probably, they wanted it redesigned but the company had no time to do so, and released a lemon onto the world. I'm left feeling that if they can make such an ergonomic engineering blunder in such recent history, what disaster awaits me if I buy a 2008 model?
