I Have a 2008 FZ6 and I need a radiator fan as soon as possible. The part is on backorder from Yamaha Canada indefinitely. The part number is 4S8-12405-00-00. Please if you have one I will pay in cash, paypal, blood, sweat, tears, or you can have my first born child.

Thanks

Today I received an obvious scam private message in my inbox on GTAM. Below is the private message from a member named g7vkq.

Actually I am half Nigerian, quarter Jamaican and quarter Caucasian. I think I can get a pass on using that line. My daughter is half Persian, so only the Asian's have not to fear my wrath.
