Well going into it I've had a clutch problem since I've owned the bike and the dealer thought it was worth a shot since there is a 4 time record for it coming in for a problem. But a shot in the dark was worth a try. Yamaha is not going to go out of there way for anything. They already feel they are for fixing the gear oil problem, so tuff on the other. But Yamaha did tell them to take the clutch apart but all they saw was blued plates.

 

Well new dealer called me today for a update which I thought was nice. Half the parts came in today. Others are not back ordered but coming from a different supplier so hopes Monday. So hoping latest Thursday to have my bike back. Also found another bolt the other dealer stripped out. So they are replacing that.

 

All dealers suck, even the good ones. I have been to 4 different ones for my electrical gremlins and it still isn't fixed. it probably never will be. All I've to show for it is repair bills and a dent in my original tank, thet claimed it was there when I dropped it off. Another dealer ripped off the gel pad on the left grip with a strap that was too tight. They didn't tell me until I asked. The glue they used wasn't dry yet and the pad was twisting in my hand. Mu recall dealer treated me like a god and then shat all over DarkStar when I had him go there.

Keep fighting!!!

 

I signed their guestbook.

quote:Word's out you guys have the worst service department on the planet. Seconded only by you laughable customer service. Congratulations on such a lofty achievement.

I currently own a Warrior and have owned many Yamaha's in the past. I thank God everyday my dealer doesn't have his head up his ass like you.[/emoticons/emotion-4.gif]

 

Thanks Steve.

 

I signed their guest book too! Waiting for their reply.

 

Thanks guys. I'll have to check there site out to see if i can view the gest book.

 

Dude,
I hate to say this but you need so get a lawyer involved immediately and sue there asses off. They put you life at risk. They owe you more than a transmission.
This is one of the very few times I could even think about this recomendation.
Don't do another thing until you talk to a lawyer!

 

Buflow the best part is I don't get a new transmission just a few new parts. I've had a number of people to tell me to get a lawyer but I've never seen anything "good" ever come of suing. i don't need lost time at work, more things for me to worry about right now. I have thought about them buying the bike back then I can get a new one, but I don't think anything good will come of it. I just figure I got the royal screwing. I still may talk to a lawyer my fiancée uncle is one.

 

Well just got a call from the dealer the bike is done they test rode it yesterday and it's not making any noise and they put gear oil in it. Going to pick it up Friday. Hopefully it won't rain and I can ride it home!!!! It's only been a couple weeks but it seems like forever!

 

Let us know if they try to charge you for ANYTHING. Stock clutch plates don't cost the dealer 1/3 of what they chage you retail. They should throw them in and give you a free case of cold ones too.

 

Craig The dealer doing the work now is not the dealer that screwed up. So good service is all I expect from these guys.

 

la, just a thought .... while your relationship with your new dealer is going well it is probably worth trying to get some sort of warranty on the work they have done for you from Yamaha - I'm not saying you are expecting problems but if some other part fails in 6 months or a year it will help if you've got some sort of guarantee.

 

Yea I'm planning on getting something in writing about the work.

 

I have to agree with you Bo that you shouldn't get a lawyer involved simply because not much will come out of it. I would get a warranty of some sort in writing explaining exactly what is now covered. I might even treat them like idiots and have them check all the fluids with me standing over them, just to be on the safe side. Also, keep a close eye out for loose bolts and such that they may have "forgotten". When I brought my bike in for the recall they did excellent work but scratched everything up to ****, including the Speedstar scoop. The service manager took one look at it, realized what had happened and ordered me a replacement. Good luck and hope it all runs well!

 

Good luck with this attempt. You would think that with all the wealth of Yamaha, they could compesate you somehow for going thought all the crap that you have. Like a pocket watch, lol! They must hate us Americans or something...

 

Sounds like you are finally through your ordeal. Now pick her up, ride her hard and enjoy your weekend! [/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]

 

"Sounds like you are finally through your ordeal. Now pick her up, ride her hard and enjoy your weekend! "

GOD I HOPE SO!!!!!!

I have some riding to get in before the snow hits!

I'd go get it today but I want to ride it home but I have noone to take me!! Might take a half day tomorrow just so I can ride!!!

 

If I had gone that long without my bike, I'd do the same thing... I'd either take a half or whole day off of work and get some good riding in.

I hope everything is good on the bike now.

 

bitin' bullets can be tough. ride hard before upcomin' blizzards. speakin' of blizzards, i think i will go to dairy queen now.[/emoticons/emotion-1.gif][/emoticons/emotion-2.gif][/emoticons/emotion-4.gif]

 

Bo, buy the time you read this, you should be hours away from that ride. Enjoy!!!!!

 

5 Hours away. Leaving at 2:00!! (Would leave sooner but have a **** meeting!) Hour and a half to the dealer, then time to tear up some roads!!

 

At least you picked a decent day to pick it up, it is going to be a bit chilli this weekend... Good luck and have a blast!!!

 

Well she's home!!!

Rode home great. They showed me the parts and the the gear was trashed and the chain was a nice deep purple color.. I wish I had my camera to take a pic of it. It had real deep groves in it. They have to send it back to Yamaha. Hope this is over!!

 

Glad to hear you are back on the road, good luck and may you get lots of days of sunshine before the snow /emoticons/emotion-1.gif
