None of us can find it so I guess it got deleted. Bummer as there was going to be a lot of useful info in it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wollerms Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 Yes, I was interested in it, and it was 4 pages of stuff, now they delete it? I wanted to see the outcome as to me either he or the tuner caused the issue not Yamaha or dealer. I found this on a R7 forum, but it says he's from Denmark? I thought he was in Israeli. https://www.r7forums.com/threads/r7-help.807/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't used for commercial purposes. @Cruizin (who "owns" this forum) had a post about a situation a few years back. He asked members to not provoke big Y, but I don't remember specifics, except "one letter from Y" and he would have to close. Maybe he will jump in here to answer your question... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A cease and desist is a written notice demanding that the recipient immediately stop an illegal or allegedly illegal activity" The key words are in the definition of Illegal. Which could be 'translated' as slanderous or derogatory. Have seen businesses go after little places (smaller than here) because they didn't like what was being said. 2022 Yamaha MT-07 Cyan Storm, 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 [VN2000A], 1997 Yamaha YZF600R - Thundercat [project] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh gosh, as an ex-attorney with over 35 years' experience, I am familiar with "cease and desist"letters. I think I've even sent a few at one time or another. Typically, they are used to ask someone to stop using a trademark or other intellectual property owned by someone else, creating confusion in the marketplace as to the origin of goods or services, or to stop defaming someone. A cease and desist letter is not binding and it doesn't require anyone to do anything, although as a potential precursor to being sued, the merits of the threat to sue need to be understood. I suppose if your business is small enough, even the mere threat of litigation could be enough to persuade the potential defendant from continuing the challenged behavior, but many such cease and desist letters are bullsh*t on their merits. So ok, I guess I've answered my own question. Yamaha could write a letter and the owner(s) of this site could decide to shut it down rather than dare Yamaha to do something about it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member cornerslider Posted March 28, 2023 Premium Member Share Posted March 28, 2023 I've been following this since the beginning. I think the OP was smart to remove the thread that he started. As someone else pointed out, it's a good "cover-your-a$$" move..... I do however, find it truly sad that the general public can't openly discuss a product that we purchased. I would think that as consumers- we paid the price of admission to do so??? If big "Y" can silence a group of people on a forum, then they have done a great disservice to ALL of their customers!!! I truly feel bad for the OP... If big "Y' doesn't "step-up-to-the-plate" on this, shame on them. We all know the excitement of having that *NEW* bike!!!! I'm certain this was a very isolated incident. I've never heard of anything like this before? The OP definitely lost his smile on this one.... 1 ""W.O.T. until you see god, then brake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
