For the past two months I had this problem where the gear selector/throttle control arm would come off ever so slightly. A bit of pressure and the thing will slide back in to position again. I just did not have the guts to open the control box in order to get to the nut stuck away on the inside that needs tightening.
Long story short, last night I just said bugger this and started to remove the cover plate on the control box. As always, there will be a small nut that will drop away and your eyes follow the run of the little thing across the deck. Because of the lack of concentration for a split second, the control arm will now pop out of its assembly. You now have no idea as to how this thing is supposed to be put back together again.
The words that followed may not be repeated here for fear of being banned forever from this site. All I can say is, never ever in your life even think of taking that piece of equipment apart. :o
Two hours later I still can not get it to fit back together again.
Even the Yamaha service manual states "with kind words and patience the unit can be re assembled again." ;D I just love the Japanese sense of humour
End of my winge
