Hey all,

Took my '00 ST in for 600 mile service.  They replaced my chain because of
recall.

I thought I'd provide a little follow up to this with some additional
information, in case anyone is still wondering if their bike is
included.  I spoke with my dealer's service manager and found
out that the affected bikes have VINs in the range of 098573 -
099811.
