My son just called,yamaha says to check under fuel tank with flashlight for a possible leak at the fuel pump junction .Should have been done at PDI but it`s a little late now.I`m sure you would have noticed it by now if you have a leak,check it to be safe ,don`t want to burn it now - waited to long.I`m sure Fredz43 will have full information on this.

by your statement from Yamaha, does that mean it's a known issue with them? I don't smell any gas and nothing leaking on the garage floor.jly51 said:
If not leaking now, your ok. I was told if its gonna leak, it would have at first start up.
I just got the call from my dealer, but they asked me to bring it down to have a technician look at it. I don’t smell gas or have leaks either.

I would be interested to know what they are looking for. Hose connection? Pump leak.Twitch said:
They’re looking for a leak around where the fuel pump bolts up to the fuel tank from the bottom…not the fuel pump itself or a hose. The OP called it the junction. My tech called it the “mating surface.”Koinz said:
My Tenere does not have a leak ,just passing info along so everyone can have it checked.I`m sure Your dealer will be in touch with each buyer.This is most likely an isolated case but Yamaha is taking no chances,covering there ass as they should.No worries,ride on'''
I just called the dealer and he said yes he'd gotten the word from corp today on this(so is a known issue), and by happenstance when they assembled the bike and put gas in it they noticed this very leak right then and tightened things up. ;o)
Thanks for the heads up!
