Looking for good used hopefully.

Bought new in 2008. 77,500 miles and 100,000 smiles. Never broke down. All maintenance done by myself other than fork bushings and seals.

2008 GenII

Out for a Sunday ride with my wife and decided to get on the Interstate to save some time. Since I was trying to save time I decided to let it run up over 100 for a moment.At 120 the Visor/Vent 3P6-2830D-00-P7 tore loose from all 4 mounting/retaining points.

I'm pretty sure I would have responded a little more rationally if they just admitted a mistake was made and resolve it. In the end it is the dealership owners burden to employ qualified people. Kinda pathetic to see whats happen to this place over the years. I bought a new Yamaha 650 Special...
