bags removal

[radman]

When I picked up Frank, the bags hadn't been put on the bike yet, as it had been in the showroom a few days. First the sales type tried to put 'em on, then called for tech assistance. I finally tired of the clown show, and in a couple minutes had it figured out. All in all, though, they had done good, headstock was tight, bag locks loctited, tire press at high factory suggested, so I didn't laugh too hard... It really is simple enough that a few minutes of thought should get the job done, I mean, I haven't even seen TDub ask how.......

A vehicle owners manual is the most unread publication ever printed.

I remember the days when a car salesman actually showd the features of the car as a technique of trying to sell it. Today even on cars they barely do this.

RTFM is way overused on motorcycle Forums. Most people never even touch a Manual on a car but it seems for a motorcycle it is the first thing a forum points to.

While shouting "RTFM" may seem superfluous, I question your analogy with RTF Car M. Climbing in behind the wheel of a mom-mobile or redneck Cadillac doesn't necessarily expose the operator to the same degree of risk as hopping on the vinyl of a 145-horse cruise missile capable of separating you from your testicles without ever leaving the dealer's parking lot.

I do agree with you, though, that RTFM is way overused. It is a lazy response, compared with actually typing out an explanation. It's just another form of Internet-inspired dumbing down of the world, like typing "ur" rather than "you're."

With that all said, the dood needs to RTFM. :rofl:

*********. Operating a motorcycle safely has nothing to do with reading the ******* manual. If you know how to ride you didn't learn it from a manual. The manual is for operating things like the clock, bags, glovebox, windshield, features. The freaking oil change isn't for safe operation. While air pressure is they are right on the ******* tire. Now Read This!!!

PS if this seems a little harsh. I just came from my motorcycle dealership where for the 3rd f_ing time got my part wrong and I still have to wait.

In the Owners Manual it clearly states "minimum 4 visits required for correct parts".

Good thing I didn't read it

Plus I have a fedex package coming ground that requires a signature.

I can't pick it up at the warehouse until they attempt delivery 3 times.

What kind of crap is that!

Oh RadioHowie, plus if someone isn't going to do their own maintenance they will probably never open a manual.

If someone is going to get this kind of grief for asking this kind of question, I would say ask your salesman. That is what he is there for and is suppose to do. That is why I asked mine. I could have figured it out, but why when he was right there and I knew I didn't know... The manual many times is not very clear on many things and I only use it as a last resort. www.fjrtech.com is a perfect example of many things not explained well that Warchild explains step by step with all the proper tool sizes and little tricks to make it easy. Manuals SUCK!!!

You know, the first time the part was on back order so they ordered a different brand.

This brand was for a wr250 03-04 wr450 03-05. I have a wr250 05 Wrong part.

I call, they look up my order, clutch lever. He even asks me clutch or brake, I tell him.

Go in today it is the f-ing brake lever.

Now they order the clutch lever and are having it shipped overnight.

Now this is the same guy that I wanted a jet and rear sprocket from that while in there he couldn't find the jet I wanted. I told him I would call him with the correct number. I called him and he said he would take care of it.

I went in 5 days later to pick up my wr250f air filter and checked to see how long on the jet and sprocket.

What jet and sprocket they ask. :angry: He first acted like he didn't even know what I was talking about and then came back and said he must have dropped the ball. I ordered it somewhere else.

Today they gave me the lever at cost and some oil at wholesale.

I don't deal with 2 other dealerships already for stuff like this.

One sold me a bike and said I could get 10% off parts. I didn't ask he gave it to me.

After my 2nd purchase he said he could no longer do this for me. I haven't been back again.

Only 1 more Yamaha dealer in my area and I do deal with them from time to time but they are about 25 miles out of my way...

 

[ladybug]

5, 4, 3, 2, 1......

 

[Mike-H]

Sparky....who knows :blink: ....maybe the 25 mile drive might end up being worth it....hope it pans out for you bro :good: ....like ladybug says....count backwards,... chant your calming mantra....then deal with it :gun: ....or :mace_rune: or :ranting2: or if you were from north of the border like moi you could :nhl_checking: :nhl_fight: :nhl_crach: ...oh maybe we should give the thread back?

Someone needs a hug! :wub:

...or at least a different road to drive other than the one to an incompetent dealership.

RadioHowie....you crack me up :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

 

[twowheelnut]

Did you not get the supplimental owner's manual covering the bags?

Any of you '06 owners gonna answer this or are you gonna just feed us wise-*** ***-hats easy fixin's?

 

[Geezer]

The day I picked up my FJR I took it for a nice long ride. Than evening I read the manual cover to cover. It answered a lot of the questions people ask here, and not just the first week type of questions. It is not very long.

Actually, sparky-san, there is a lawyer induced section about safety in every MOM I've every seen. So, in a sense, one can learn motorcycle operational safety from RTFM. You moran!
