Hi guys, dealing with this situation myself. My 05 has 3700 miles and started showing symptoms of svs. The idiot at the parts counter finally pushed his lip rings aside with his tongue enough to tell me that he doesn't really believe in Ring Free. So its off to the service dept I go. The tech who comes to assist me, has never heard of any of these problems, and has trouble telling me this through his heavily pierced lower lip as well. So, off to the service manager I go. He has never heard of any of this either. Experts, huh. I was told everything from accesories to worn out motor could be causing the problem. After explaining the results from a kilivolt drop test and compression test, I explained to him that if my motor was worn out with 3700 miles, Yamaha would refund enough money for me to have a Patrick Racing 110. Heated words were had and I was asked to leave the showroom floor. Anything I can do to help you guys will be done, just let me know what you need. Oh by the way, a substitute for seafoam---Lucas upper cyl. lube. I use it because it has all the same effects as seafoam, without the harsh effects. The old water trick helps too. Sorry guys, done venting. Hopefully we can get through to get this situation handled.
