Well it took eight weeks exactly to get the ticker fixed and I'm glad that ordeal is over.Not only did they fix the valve guide problem but also replaced the camchain tensioner and camchain assembly.Total billing for this little project was $3271.00,man am I glad I didn't have to fork any cash on that deal.
The time frame wasn't real desirable but I think that Lawrenceville Honda Yamaha in Georgia did do an excellent job for me I talked to the tech who worked on my bike and am satisfied that he did a good job.I beleive they made an honest effort on the repair. But if Yamaha would provide a little more info to their dealers about possible problems with their bikes it could eliminate a lot of leg work by the dealers and possibly expedite the process on the repair end.
I took the bike for about a hundred mile run this evening in misting rain and fog.
I couldn't stand it I had to ride that bike when I picked it up regardless of weather conditions.I was really happy with the bikes performance, It seemed to have more spot on power,I guess I didn't notice the gradual loss of power before.
The bike was very smooth and now I'm oh so happy.
You don't know what you lost til you don't have it for a while and just being on this forum and getting info here makes it much easier when you do have to take your bike somewhere for repair work that you're better informed.
Thank you to all owners of previously repaired tickers who shared their experiences because your posts on the subject really heped me.
