#419704 fishhead (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 316 We build it , Your on your OWN !!! 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Dealer called Yamaha about the lose pulley nut and said not a know issue and being out of warranty YOUR ON YOUR OWN !!!!! Like my Roadstar but you can bet your bottom dollar I will not be buying another Yamaha. I can't stand it when a company will not stand by their product. That nut should NEVER come lose.   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #419707 nightstar57 (User) ride it like ya paid for it ..

DITTO !! We work on ALL makes of motorcycles at the shop & we see fewer Yamahas than any of the others. The ones that do come in (as well as the Hondas) are in for tires or service. We've been here for over three yrs. now, and haven't had one Yamaha come in for major work. As for the Company/Dealer thing, don't take it personally. They'll bone anybody the same way they boned you.   Logged     ...I love the smell of smoked pork on a warm summer night!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #419714 Tug (User) ride free. live free. or die tryin Platinum Boarder Posts: 2972 Re:We build it , Your on your OWN !!! 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I agree that this is a problem and yamaha should resolve it.

But it not that something went wrong , it's how it's handled after the fact . Don't bullshit me with it's not a KNOW ISSUE , If Yamaha issued a notice to change the washer , I wouldn't be looking at $500 in parts. And I don't think you would feel this way if it was your ride!!! OK I'm DONE..... literally   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #419728 chromepony (User) There's no such thing as too much chrome Platinum Boarder Posts: 1341 Re:We build it , Your on your OWN !!! 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago   OK !!   Logged     ...I love the smell of smoked pork on a warm summer night!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #419790 USAFRETIRED (User) Moderator Posts: 551 Re:We build it , Your on your OWN !!! 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Here is an example of another similar issue but on a truck. 2004 ford f150 5.4L engine. They recommend the plugs be changed at 100K. Discovered a known issue before I started the work myself that the plugs quite often break off during removal. Had a thought, called ford dealer and was quoted an extremely high price to change the plugs. Asked them if they knew about these plugs being famous for breaking off in the heads. Answer was yes. Next I asked, ok if that happens, you guys take care of the fix? Answer: sure but we are going charge you. So I asked, what price am I looking at if by a long shot all 8 plugs break off, whats the bill. Answer: Over $800. Sure made me want to buy another ford....Not!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #419820 Questcap (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3209 Re:We build it , Your on your OWN !!! 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Why the heck would the plugs break off, for crying out loud? They're only screwed into the head. Even if the heads an alloy, and the plugs are steel... don't they put an anti-seize compound on the threads??? What is with that nonsense?!?!?!   Logged     Sig pic deleted - larger than 450 pixels and 50 kb   The administrator has disabled public write access. #419823 USAFRETIRED (User) Moderator Posts: 551 Re:We build it , Your on your OWN !!! 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Questcap wrote: Why the heck would the plugs break off, for crying out loud?

Because they used a very stupid spark plug design. Here is a TSB on it http://www.phila.gov/fleet/Warranty%20Recalls/tsb08-07-06%20FORD.pdf Similar event as what started this thread that in my opinion should not be costing the consumer anything. I definately see why Fishhead would be upset at their lack of caring.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/09/14 19:44 By USAFRETIRED.     The administrator has disabled public write access.
