The yamaha rep is going to take another look at my bike next week. The last time he rode it 50 miles and said nothing was wrong with it. I then took it to an independant custom builder who ran it on the dyno and told me my rings were shot and that there was no evidence anyone had been in the motor. (yamaha was suposed to do a valve job for svs) I dont know what he thinks he is going to tell me. I had to do all the leg work to find out what the problem was. I hope he brings more than his helmet this time!!

Good luck, Law.

Good luck again Law...Mines been fine since they pulled the heads and did em' right. Hope you whoop some sense into them this time.

Good luck law you've been fighten this as long as I have. I finally cured my SVS on my own. And no I didn't have to go into the engine. She runs like a champ now with no problems at all.

Good luck

time to go postal Law

Keep at 'em Law. Luck to you I know it's been a long drawn out ordeal.

Good luck Law, its a shame there are not more dealers like mine out there. My 06 developed SVS at 2800 miles. The dealer tore it down, fixed it no questions or bulls***.Said if that didnt do it they would go to step two. Billed it all to YamiCorp. it runs great now.

Good luck on this one Law. Just got done with my 3rd case of SVS. Yamaha didn't even question the dealer this time on it. I know if it happens again I'm Lemonizing it. Informed Dealer of plans before the last fix. So I'm hoping he did whatever he had to this time. Got only 400 miles on since the fix and so far so good. Give em _ell!

Law, I sure hope everything works out for you this time.

I'm not sure how much time you have left on your warranty, but you may want to check into your states lemon laws. There are specific requirments for your bike to qualify as a lemon and you need to know what those are so you can get the documentation, just in case you need to prove it. Some states will require that you took the vehicle into the dealer fot the same problem a certain number of times within a certain period of time to qualify.

An excellent source of information for that will be through your state attorney generals office. The AG's job is to help protect the citizens of the state, including against vehicle 'lemons'. They will be able to tell what you need in order to for your bike to qualify as a 'lemon' and the forms you'll need to fill out and send in to them.

Just mentioning the A.G. to a dealer has been known to have a significant effect on their motivation to take care of a problem. When a dealer finds out that you know your rights, they are usually more willing to work to resolve the problem.

Of course, be nice when talking about these things. Mentioning you know your rights is different than threatening with them, and if you're like me, when you're getting frustrated with an issue noone seems to be helping with, that's hard not to do.

I hope all goes well.
