Re:dealer beware 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
i dont know how it is in your neck of the woods, here in northern ohio, weve got two types of dealers. big box type & small family type. at the big box you may get a better price on a bike, but service sucks because they only care about volume not after sales service. I believe if more of us express our dissatisfaction with after sale service Yamaha will listen or they will lose market share to competitors. this is whats happening at HD

I forgot to also say,(too many beers tonite,) the small family shop makes their money on service. I love watching A-HOLES come in and EXPECT the same service even though they bought their bike at the big box

Re:dealer beware 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Ya alot of people told me to take it elsewhere but I figured they sold it to me they can put up with me. Can't take it to another dealer and expect them to put up with my frustration. Trust me I told them exactly how I felt. I got kicked out of the sealer and told to take my bike and leave! The look on their faces when the lawyers showed up at the dealership to take depositions was priceless.

Re:dealer beware 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
A friend of mine just bought a used V-Star 650 and wanted to have it dyno'd. He took it to the local stealer to have it done. They installed a K&N filter and did the dyno and corrected the jetting. When he picked it up they handed him a bill for $580.00. I bought my RS* from that stealer in back in March but they will never see my bike in their shop at those rates. They even charge $107.00 for a basic oil change.
