damaged wheel - pics

lol tailgate :D my yamaha dealer makes me feel like I'm a pro, like I've been born with all the knowledgeable of motorcycling in the world! they never make me feel... like a complete noob... no never! :rolleyes:


Everywhere else, Fz6 has 90 some horse power, at my lovely yamaha dealer, mine had 149! when i was buying it!

Everywhere else, when you pay for two years of warranty, you get two, at my lovely yamaha dealer, you get 1! that's right, what a deal! 2 for 1! you can't go wrong!

Everywhere else, when you pick up your bike after an oil change, you may remove the dipstick to check the level, at my lovely Yamaha dealer, you better have some rags ready! as soon as you unscrew the dipstick, oil will come gushing out with amazing speed and pressure! They are quality! won't cheat you on your oil! you purchase 4 quarts, and that's what you get in your engine my friend!

Everywhere else, you get two keys when you buy your brand new bike, at my lovely Yamaha you get 1. When you come back to ask where the spare is, you're told to pay extra and wait about a week before you get it.

Everywhere else, when you buy an FZ6 you get FZ6 payperwork. At my local lovely Yamaha dealer, you get that of R6 , but no worries, you'll realize the mistake once you get your insurance quotes using the wrong vin (no joke)

Everywhere else, when your body parts (fairings, fenders, tank) are changed because the dealer didn't have the color of the bike you want, the dealer would change the lock on the gas tank as well... my lovely yamaha dealer forgot that little detail! but no worries! it was only 20 miles between the station and the dealer, I had enough has for 15... no one has ever died from a little 5 mile push :)


...seriously i can keep going if you want :)
- where is that lovely dealer you ask??? Des Plaines Yamaha!

- where do i take it now?
Schaumburg Honda Suzuki, I can't count how many times I've taken my yamaha there, always treated me with tons of respect, answered all even the noobies't of questions, it doesn't seem to matter that I didn't buy a bike from them and that it's different brand. My last visit where they re-torqued my wheel and re-adjusted the chain on the spot without accepting a penny topped it all! (i've tried to tip the mechanic 10bucks he wouldn't take it!)

SCHAUMBURG HONDA SUZUKI - Illinois Motorcycle ATV Scooter Dealer- Schaumburg Honda Suzuki

my next bike may be honda or suzuki because of this.
 
When I took my bike to the dealer for the TPS recall I got the bike back with the high reading of the TPS out of specs:mad:, the chain guard rubbing on the chain(I didn’t realize it because I wear earplugs but when I finally did it had worn thru half the chain guard):mad:, none of the vent hoses were connected to the underside of the gas tank:mad:. They also replace a wheel spacer on the rear wheel(also on recall) and I got the bike back with the rear wheel severely misaligned!:banghead::banghead::banghead:

Oh....my....GOD! And I thought EYE had a lousy dealer because they supplied me with a 2006 FZ6 owner's manual instead of a 2007 owner's manual and didn't follow through (but I followed through with written correspondence to US Yamaha and to the dealership head western states manager). OMG! Say, did you ever fill out the new Yamaha owner questionnaire (send in or on-line). I did and corporate relations responded to both dealership and me. Got some attention. Des Plaines Yamaha eh? OMG. What a LOUSY, LOUSY dealership! OMG!

You may have missed an opportunity! If I received R6 paperwork when picking up my FZ6, I would have asked for the correct bike to go with it. And it sounds like you may have signed a contract to enforce that demand. :rockon:
