Re:MILLERS YAMAHA won't stand behind there bikes! 4 Months ago  
FYI my tank has less then half a tank and has been sitting for months. I looked in the tank with a flash light (though a match would not be a good idea ) The tank looks like new money. I used BP gas and it's an 06 model. I think I'm going to drain it and the carb bowl if Yamaha stalls on my case any longer. I think the dealer will stand behind your bike.........way behind it.

There was a thread recently about lemons and the law and all that. Anyway, I just thought I'd point out that if you have documentation of your taking the bike in for the tank and carb to be cleaned out before the warranty expired and you are having the same continueing problem, you may have consideration under the lemon law of your state.

Contact your local State Attorney Generals office and they'll be very helpful with information on your rights. I have found them to be a great source of information and motivation towards getting resolution.

Hope it works out for you, nobody like to get hosed.

Ratl.

I just read page 7-4 of the manual and it tell ya to fill the tank drain the carb and add fuel stabilizer if storing the bike for several months in order to prevent rust form forming in the tank.

Bean Tickler, have you not riddin the bike since buying it for several months ? If not the dealer and Yamaha should make things right for ya.

I know it could be hard to prove that you had riddin the bike consistantley and it had not been stored but I would stay after them.

I'm like BB here no rust then rust in just 3- months ?? sounds fishy to me. Good luck

I tell you something else that works, calling the dealership and telling them you saw bad things about them on the internet, if they get enough calls trust me they will make it right, I didn't say where I saw the comment, I called them and told them that they are starting to be known for not standing behind their product and I would not be purchasing anything from them in the future.
I mean if you happen to call : 724-430-1970 and leave a message that you won't buy anything from them either, well they tend to get the message if 100 people call.
Get my drift?
