firstyammerha Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 This just crossed my mind after reading the automatic turn signal canceller thread. They could get some input on what features the owners want or what features need improvement. Maybe they just monitor the bike mags reviews. Can Cruzin comment as to whether he's had contact with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo10 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Every supplier wants your feedback these days. Yamaha just has to look in here now and again. They also have their 'Design Cafe' on their website for specific bikes. Just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They foolishly ignore the HUGE selling opportunity that exists with forums. This is because they let dealers sell for them. Marketing is up to them and they dont want to go near dealing with end users. But I track visits from their IP addresses in Ca and Japan. They visit often.

MT27 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Just in case they missed the other posts about the seat foam IT'S WAY TO SOFT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I'm thinking that they should keep the MT basic to keep the price down because that alone is a good selling point and put all the nice, fancy stuff on the Tracer since it comes out of the factory beefed up a bit already. Make that their more expensive, uber nice, "flagship" 700. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstyammerha Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 my feeling is they don't pay attention to riders complaints regarding their products because they've had the same design shortcomings for eons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo10 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Perhaps there should be a new Heading: "Ah so, Yamaha". Make it eay for them - and us. We could post all our suggestions in one place. Just do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstyammerha Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 I've been on the Yamaha site but didn't see the "design café". Is it a section of the site where owners can offer their input? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo10 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I have checked their website. You have to go into a bike where you can find specs; for example, Niken. Then on lower right of page there is " How did we develop the Niken". Click on that and you can read about that, and you can also see on the right hand side they ask what you think of the Niken. That takes you into a survey. They will also ask you about your bike. e.g.- https://www.yamaha-motor.eu/designcafe/en/index.aspx?view=article&id=731981&fromurl=https://www.yamaha-motor.eu/uk/products/motorcycles/niken/niken.aspx&fromsite=Yamaha Motor UK There are usually a couple of bikes they are asking about.
