I have found Welling and Crossley are excellant to deal... and order your parts thru pittman yamaha in
adelaide.
The 1k yammy is quieter and uses less fuel than the eu10, this was proven at whylie park about 16 months ago during an impromptu match off..
I was told by a Yamaha dealer there ws a recall of the first 50 EF1000ef's... for a fuel blockage...before i learnt this this I got a full refund 3 months into ownership.. imgine tht, full refund from a multi-national, now that is service
the first one i got was a bad hunter...after the refund i went straight out, demoed another one and bought exactly the same, but this one must have been from the second batch, it runs smooth.
The yammy is also very very easy to work on and parts are much less expensive...to tell the truth - they are darn nice to work on...
Mines got 7500 hrs, gets used dialy, uses a small amount of oil and blows a tiny bit of blue smoke on start-up that dissapears after about 5-10 seconds... i am very very impressed with the ef1000is, Yamaha and Welling and Crossley
