4K Service, and YES

[Av8rider]

I've had my FJR almost a year and now have a little over 4600 miles on it.

I'm taking it in for the ignition switch recall and 4K service and would like to hear what you think about the following:

Approximately how much does the 4K service cost?

How much can you get the YES for?

Talk with Gary McCoy at mondak motorsports for a price on the YES.

I hadn't heard that Gary was selling YES? I do buy all my parts from him because he has the best prices I've found and great service to boot! :yahoo:

I bought my YES from D&H cycle in Alabama for $389 for 4years of YES coverage. Check the FAQ for contact info.

My service manager "guessed" that the 4K would be 3 hours since there is no book time. The bill showed it to be exactly 3 hours. This made it $300. Please refrain from posts "you should do your own work" and "you are getting ripped off". My dealer is very close and the next one is 45 miles away but I heard from a forum member that they are worse (not necessarily in price but in quality of their "GED" mechanics).

When I first took delivery of my bike it stalled a lot at intersections etc, it would not idle well. I told my local Yamaha dealer about this at the 400 mile service and I'm not sure why, but they charged me for a throttle body sync, the bike Idled but the throttle response was not smooth and the bike did not run well in hot [100+] weather. I did not understand why and was not happy to have to pay for this service considering that the bike was brand new. Also after reading a few of the horror stories regarding dealerships I was a bit concerned.

So I had my 4K service done at Simi Yamaha in California. I had made an appointment to have the ignition switch replaced and the 4K service, they ordered the parts and told me to bring it in on Thursday the following week. When I did they told me the ignition switch had been back ordered and they probably would not have it completed until the following Wednesday. At about that point I thought WTF is up with Yamaha dealers. I reluctantly left it at the dealer and got a call on Saturday that the bike was ready. New shinny ignition switch, no scratches or dents, everything installed in the right spot and the total for the 4K service was $258 OTD, including a throttle body sync and most importantly the bike runs and idles great. The throttle response is noticeably better. Simi Yamaha is beginning to restore my faith in dealers.

Now that I have found a dealer I hope that I can trust, I went ahead and ordered the YES from D&H Cycles, another great customer experience.

So two great customer experiences from Yamaha Dealers that just makes owning an FJR that much better. :yahoo:

Thanks for the advice. <_<
