Yamaha already did, by bowing out of national series support this season. This is the 'return fire.'

Funny thing is that it will affect privateers more than Yamaha themselves.

I mean in the future.

Like karl said, this will hurt racers more than it will the factory.

I hope the sanctioning body backs away from their "tough guy" stance due to pressue from the field and not due to Yamah caving in.

The discussion about requesting a change has been running on the local racing board for a few days now, and some people are talking about petitions, letters, etc..Truth is that only 6 Yahamas were on the track in Superbike last year; two in the top 10 and one of the others was a R6. Half the field were on Suzuki, who have also apparently withdrawn support. I have my doubts that Suzuki will get the same treatment that Yamaha did.
