In case you need tires, oil, or other maintenance while you're at CFO in Custer, SD, There are 3 Yamaha dealers in the area. Note that the first one, Black Hills Power Sports is a supporter of CFO and will be contributing door prizes. All three of these dealers are near the riding routes I put together in THIS TOPIC.

===================

1. The nearest Yamaha dealer is 44 miles from Custer in Rapid City. This is a fairly large dealership that also sells Kawasaki. I have done a fair amount of business at Black Hills Power Sports and have had good experiences there 95% of the time.

Black Hills Powersports

3005 Beale St.

Rapid City, SD 57703

605-342-5500

Hours: Mon-Fri: 9:00 - 6:00; Sat: 9:00 - 5:00; Sun: closed.

lat/long:

44.1016 -103.1609

They have reconfigured the streets in that neighborhood, and the newest streets may not show up on your mapping program. The easiest way to get there is:

--From I. 90, take Exit 61, (Elk Creek Road) exit to the south (Exit 61 is on the east side of Rapid City)

--turn west onto the first street south of I. 90. This may be Eglin Street, but with the road reconfiguration, it's hard to say.

--go about 1/2 - 3/4 mile and Black Hills Powersports will be on your right (or north)

I asked them for some details about tires and oil, and here's the message I received:

We offer a wide variety of tires that will fit that bike. We mainly sell Metzelers & Bridgestone for these bike but we have others in stock depending on what each rider likes, but for the proper type sport touring tires we have the Metzeler Z6 & Bridgestone BT021s.
Prices are Bridgestone front $109.95 rear $159.95

Metzeler front $144.95 & rear $179.95. These Metzelers are the FJR specific tires

there are other Metzeler Z6’s in the same sizes that are less money which we also have but different load ratings etc….

Installation prices are as follows

front $29.99

rear $39.99

carry in rims $19.99.

Prices for oil changes labor $20.40 + parts and price varies for what kind of oil you want. We carry Yamaha, Castrol, Mobil, Spectro, Amsoil, Royal Purple, etc….. so hopefully we will have want you want .

We do services and oil changes, tire changes for tourists and such pretty much on demand which varies on customer demand but not really any appointments for this type of work unless you want to be sure of a specific time so maybe call a day a head if sure when will be here otherwise we will just try our best to get everybody handled in a timely manner.

We will provide some door prizes for this event just let me know when you want to pick them up. I hope this information is helpful and complete enough.
=====================

2. There is another Yamaha dealer in Sturgis, 71 miles from Custer (on I. 90 west of Rapid City). It is a small/moderate sized dealership. Since they also sell BMW's, they seem to have a better selection of sport/touring tires. A few months ago I purchased some Michelin Pilot Roads there. The cost for front and rear, installation, and tax was $366.

Sturgis Yamaha, BMW, Suzuki

2879 Vanocker Canyon Rd.

Sturgis, SD 57785

605-347-2636

Hours: Mon-Fri: 8:30-6:00; Sat: 9:00 - 5:00; Sun: closed

The streets in this area have also been reconfigured, and your mapping program may not be current.

They are just south of I. 90. There are two Sturgis exits; take Exit #32, the eastern one. After taking the exit (it only goes north) go about 1/4 mile, then take a left (west) onto Vanocker Cyn. Road. Follow it around as it curves south, go under I. 90 and they will be on your right just past I. 90.

==========================

3. 71 miles south of Custer, across the Nebraska state line near the interection of US 20 and US 385 at Chadron, Nebraska is another Yamaha dealer. I've been there, but never did any business except to buy a pair of gloves. It not a huge place. They sell more ATV's than motorcycles.
