What to say to Yamaha to get another YES so I feel comfortable keeping it. I didn't want it new without coverage, I sure don't want it rebuilt without coverage.

That's not the point. If in 4 months the engine blows because of a mistake like the one made at the last dealer a few months ago - I'm out of luck. Now I have to break in a new engine and ride the piss out of it just to shake it down and get it to break in 3 months, if it's going to go...

Update. The dealer it's at now is no longer a Ride Now Dealer as of 1/1/10, they are now owned by Sky Powersports. That's probably a good thing. The transition did put them behind schedule at least a week though, not a huge deal. I just called up for a status and talked to the very nice...

Something tells me they have revised the parts. Like I said when I got it back - it was smoother than it had ever been, even on day 1 - while it lasted.

huh huh hhuh...you said...cucamonga huh huhuh huuhhuh

I think it's best to wait till it's back, verify it seems to work, then try and get a new YES warranty from someone.

I'm the most impatient person you'll ever meet. This is KILLING ME. Those are the exact reasons I'm debating waiting.

Hard to blame me when every bearing in the engine is worn, all the intake valves are bent and all the pistons are damaged, plus bits of black silicone are plugging passages. Un freaking real. Like I said - in this economy with so many good people out of work, who's there? An untrained *****...

Update: Upon tear down, they found excessive Yamabond was used to reassemble the transmission, and bits had clogged multiple oil passages starting in the valve train. Basically a new engine and transmission in parts is on order.

No. sigh.

I had a long conversation with the GM of the dealer it's at now. He seemed to not be surprised by what happened and was very sorry they made me take it down there. Apparently Ride Now corporate told them out of the blue they were closing the store, but then just a few days later said they...

Well where to begin. I guess by saying the faint gas smell wasn't my imagination nor was the faint ticking I heard the past hundred miles that I chalked up to paranoia. I went in to Tampa this afternoon to Cigar Fest (which was awesome) and was enjoying the ride back, until I was about 25...

Just an update - 500 more miles on it, riding it hard - perfect!

Who knows, who knows, nope and mine was 10k. A buddy of mine on here just emailed me that he now has it to around the same millage, previous year bike.

Just got back from putting on 300 miles - so far so good except for a faint smell of gas when idling - I'll check it out later, it night just be gunk from the shop.

AHHHHHH SO good to have her back! Besides the tires being a little low, she's purring like a kitten! The tranny has NEVER been smoother, not even on day ONE. All is forgiven with the shop.

Just got a call that it should be ready today in 4 hours.

I'm not doing anything like that. I can only imagine what that would lead to while my bike sits in pieces in the shop.

UPDATE So I stopped up just before closing yesterday - no more phone calls! Not happy but at least I have the real story now. I went right to the manager, who knew who I was before getting my name out. He tried giving me the same ol BS of, oh it's almost done, just have to blah blah blah - I...
