You are right. Further elaboration Serial no. on the shaft of a Yonex racket is unique to that racket and will never repeated on another. The serial no. is tagged with the respective date code on the cone of the racket. The arc saber 10 in #4158 is around 73xxxxx for the January 2008. There is no way the serial no. of 72xxxxx can be advanced so far ahead till May 2008. The 72xxxxx serial no. should have the respective cone code in late Oct 2007. Hence it is fake. BTW, Arc saber 10 is launched in Jan 2008.

---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->8---- racket model: Yonex AT900T 3U5 shaft serial: 7682822 cone code : 210584JP source : Shuttle-House, Japan price : around 190$ CDN ---->8---- cut here (include this line) ---->8---- It's most prolly genuine since shuttle-house is an authorized yonex dealer, however the first digit of the shaft serial is really close to the "cs cap"... so much that the upper part of the "7" is somewhat hindered by the "P" it would be really appreciated if you could clear any doubts (it will makeme sleep better!!) thanks a ton!
I have checked in the information of your Yonex NS9000 Type S shaft Serial:7553151; Cone Date Code:240384SP (date=24 Mar 2008) to my information list of Yonex rackets made in Japan, its serial no. and date code are legitimate. However you still need to inspect the other physical features of the racket carefully and compare the specifications to ascertain its total legitimacy or authenticity yourself.
