Good god, Geoff! This is Yamaha that we're talking about -- not a company that wants products out in the world that are "semi acceptable!" Go back, check the pinning friction, and then give Yamaha tech support a phone call (better yet, call them first!). I'm sure they will help you figure this one out (and make sure you're paid for your efforts). Just a guess -- if the center pin/flange friction is within specs, are the return springs too strong?
