I talked to a service manager at a northern California Yamaha shop who blasted Western contracts. He said the shop had problems with them, and finally quit honoring them, and stopped selling them too. Sounds like a vote for the factory gig !

howdy one and all ! I've been perusing the discussions of spline lubrication, and remember that someone or two folks observed that the crackhead factory assembly line staff were maybe not properly lubricating the splines prior to shipping out for us lucky buyers. I also noted the recommended...

thanks for the advice, fellas.   it all makes sense to me.

hi folks: I have been "in the loop" on the site for several months and have not read any discussion of extended warranty options, other than to get one. Anyone out there have experience with companies other than Yamaha and their YES program ? Someone told me that there's a Western Service...

Good point about the "new machinery" and its potential bug factor. I thought getting the 2005 was a reasonable choice with any known or unknown "iron out" factors hopefully resolved. I remembered my 1977 Yammie 750 (the triple cylinder driveshaft model) that had a glitch or two as the first...

hello everyone: I've read with great interest the tidbits about the 2006 Feejer, and checked the comparison photos a million times (the 06 versus 05). It seems like a very nice bike with some attractive features. But I've also studied farkles that smart boys have undertaken for their...

Obviously I just flunked my posting spellink tste. dammit, don't you just hate it when that happens ?

Would the Flying Feejer Funsters have to sit on the Group W bench at Alice's ? (I can't beleive no on asked this already.)

Don't Pee on it !!! now there's a thiking fellow !!

:clap: My my my my my ! What wonderful feedback from all of you (I think!) terrific men. So many choices now, and so little time. If my work hours could change to ... say, 0600 to 0745, then things would really be groovey. Flight times all cool. "No but seriously folks," ...... thanks for...

:o How the heck did John ever get the Department of Transportation, and Automatic Transmission into his e-mail address ? He must be some kind of real-connected dude !! Must have new radiator guard !!!

greetings from the land of often sunny and occasionally damned hot northern California. Since we are in the early dog days of summer, but know that wearing a jacket is smart unless you do the 350 degree oven broiler routine in it, I thought I would ask if anyone knows of a (!) reasonably priced...

pewww !! :haha: I took one look at that new fiberglass farkle and realized it's really for long-distance racing "stops" when there's no bushes nearby. You just hit the automatic electric extender-bar switch, pop a wheelie, your butt hits the back "can" (oops, I mean "compartment"), it...

:o Tsk, tsk, tsk... All you men with those "urges" posting hot and bothered messages about a T-shirt with a scantily-clad hussie on it. Why doesn't someone design a shirt showing a scantily-clad MAN with all of his "horsepower" showing underneath him ? Surely there's some Levitra out there...

Well, well, another owner who thinks the dealer charge for the inital (600) mile service is totally overblown. :aggressive: Good ! In retro(jet) perspective from post-purchase of a 2005, I wish I would have read someof the things on this site BEFORE I bought the bike. Anyway, enough...

:clap: well, I learned that a Hummer can be a GREAT bike tool. I just set the socket wrench on the oil drain plug, got two braided titanium cables, tied one end of the first to the back bumper of a friend's Hummer and welded the other end to the socket wrench, wrapped the second line around...

:assasin: a buddy suggested today when I commiserated the oil plug story, that perhaps it was installed with LocTite. that makes no sense, so I have to consider that as a real possibility. :blink:

:( so, I learned yesterday that evidently the person who "tightened" the oil drain plug on my new pony, a 2005 ABS Feejer, has earned a position in the subspecies known as "Animals with Tools." My baby was on her center stand, oil tub at the ready underneath. I had my sheet of aluminum foil...

:o oopsie on that link !!! Someone put a non-working link to a website for fetching Economy Carb Tuners Thingies. Poor feller, maybe he understands about tuning bikes but not website links. Here's what you get when you click on the link that is listed in the posted reply from June...

Hey Squid Man:   Thanks for the kind wordage about my review. I also appreciate the encouragement to take a class with MSF.   I called two places several weeks ago and the earliest opening was about 6-8 weeks out, and at both numbers all I got was a dammmmmed machine anyhow. So I had a...
