If you look at the Europe site you will see that we have models that they don't get. This is simply what is popular in each country. We have a passion for a particular type of bike and that passion isn't neccesarily shared by the majority here in the U.S. Cruisers are still the big thing here...

Your not waiting any longer than those who are waiting on the new FZ1 your just guaranteed to get one! My 1st FZ1 is scheduled for April and we are only getting 2 of this model. The new R6 has just started shipping in last month or so. The bikes are being released at about the same time as the...

The Beltronics has the same output jack as the X50. It's nice to have voice alerts through my Autocom system. Tony

Correct! If the dealer does not warranty register the bike in the name of the original person the deposit is forfeited and Yamaha keeps it. This is why people that purchased one off of a dealers floor had the bike already registered in another name so the dealer could get their deposit back...

You are exactly right. I just owe $500 less on my parts bill! Regards, Tony

You have it wrong. The customer gives a $500 deposit and Yamaha takes the deposit from the dealer. When the customer takes delivery he pays the dealer the agreed amount less the $500 deposit he paid to the dealer. When the bike is registered to the person who the bike is ordered for Yamaha will...

Well Skippy, let me see if I can muster up the intelligence to respond to your post! :angry: First of all the dealer is telling you exactly what he is being told! I am pasting an exerp from the program bulletin that explains it. There is no way that Yamaha can make a customer keep a bike for...

I don't see it happening. It has been a huge success for Yamaha and also the consumer. If the bikes were allocated then you wouldn't see the discounts as the bikes would be more evenly distributed among the dealers and with a tighter supply comes less discounts. Regards, Tony Orihuela Yamaha...

You might want to look at the Beltronics RX65 Pro Series. Escort bought Beltronics and the Pro comes with the same smart cord as the X50 and is higher rated than the X50. This guy tests all of the models and has concluded this is the best he has ever tested. I have a SoloS2 and it works well...

The program ended on January 26th and if your local didn't order units under bogus names or their pets name or whatever there are no more units to be had from Yamaha. If you search around I'm sure there will be some available at some price, but the deep discounting will probably be gone as the...

This is a good video, but man is there a lot of traffic! https://www.gormanonline.com/videos/street/...ookToXroads.wmv

Mark, Here is a copy of the letter to both the dealer and also to the customer. February 10, 2006 Dear Yamaha Dealer: Re: 2006 Yamaha YZF-R6 Motorcycle RPM Limit The 2006 YZF-R6 was introduced with a red line limit of 17,500 RPM as indicated on the tachometer. After testing production...

Yamaha just posted the delivery months on the Dealer System this morning. Looks like deliveries will begin in March for the A model and May for the AE. Regards, Tony Orihuela Yamaha Sportscenter

It will most definitely roll when in gear and the bike is idling. The clutch is "disengaged" at an idle. Tony Orihuela

The more throttle applied the more aggressively the clutch is engaged from what I have been told by those from Yamaha that have actually ridden the AE. It stands to reason that if you barely move the throttle, the computer will only feather the clutch to prevent stalling. The word I have...

I am telling you the information that was given to me from a source at Yamaha that rode the bike and made his report. Take it or leave it. The bike must have electrical power to shift out of or into gear. When the ignition is turned on the clutch computer disengages the clutch so the engine can...

Not true. Perhaps with the ignition ON and the bike OFF, that MAY be the case. With the key off the ignition, all electrics are off, and so the gear box is just like any other one If there is no battery power you ain't getting it out of gear! The shifting is electric even though it is a...

I was told that the bike can be upshifted with the throttle pinned, but you have to back off the throttle to downshift. The bike will not go into gear if the engine rpm is too high unless it is the warm up cycle that the computer introduces at startup. Tony

You can't rock the bike back and forth to get it out of gear if the battery is dead as the shifting is done electrically. This is a simple work around as one simply needs to put a polarized plug on the battery terminals when it is assembled the put the mate to the plug in the tool kit for such...
