Here's a copy of the email I sent them today:

I am outraged at the news that Yamaha is not prepared to address the problems with this keyboard! The manual clearly states that the operation system is in flash memory for future updates, and now that the BUGS are starting to show up - Yamaha is turning their back on the buyers saying that the upgrades will be a ROM chip, and NOT covered by warrentee! Ther are many things that are supposed to work that DON'T and as a consumer - I want them fixed at YOUR expense...and quckly. I am a full time, professional musician and I depend on my keyboard to support my family. I can't afford to have it in the shop for weeks at a time.
The biggest problems are in the registration memory.
1) it WILL NOT remember fingering choices
2) it will not remember vocal harmony choices
3) it will not remember vocal effects settings !!
ALL important things that the registration is designed to do! Please respond and tell me how you are prepared to fix these MAJOR flaws so I can continue to enjoy your products. I belong to many discussion groups that push your products, and the new buzz on the net is NOT a positive one. visit: www.synthzone.com and look under the "general arranger discussions"
You'll see many other disatisfied Yamah owners that are getting ready to dump your products if they are not dealt with in a more professional manor.
Please excuse any typing or spelling errors - I am a musician - not a clerk.
