Global Moderator Guru Posted August 1, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2014 I was about to post which tires everyone got. I got the pilot road 3's on mine. Honestly yours is the first I've seen with the Battlax's. Started a poll HERE. I am guessing there are more Michelins out there but we will soon find out.

Guest unknown Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Stache, did they put anti-freeze in it? Might wanna check it real quick before riding. I thought these things come "wet" from the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the battery at least charged? I'd hate for to see you have more issues due to a dealers' incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like said, what else did they not do? I would totally NOT accept that and file a official complaint at Yamaha ! I see you have been working out, maybe you should go back and punch the guy on the nose for doing a shitty job. Which dealer was it? Buyer Beware !

That's one thing that drew me to the white. I love the contrast in the front fender too. I thought a black frame would look good but I think the silver frame actually fits this bike quite nicely and compliments the white. Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up.

The fluids aren't a big deal to me, woulda had to buy them anyway on my own at some point. Also, when I spoke to them they admitted their error, as long as they make good on the repair, I am okay. If not then I will call Yamaha and file with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestache Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 That sounds like one crappy dealer! The more I sat and thought about it, I am calling Yamaha Customer Relations on Monday, I wanted to get the bike since they had my money. But all these things have me worried they might not do anything to fix their scratches and hang me out to dry Oh, it is Yamaha of Cool Springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator Guru Posted August 2, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted August 2, 2014 Seriously dude, I would file a WRITTEN complaint to Yamaha, not just give them a call. I know for a fact that they take their dealer service very seriously. When your bike is delivered they have a long checklist of things they have to discuss and show to you. Delivery alone should take at least an hour. Things like forgetting fluids and scratches are totally unacceptable. You paid a lot of money for a new bike. I would not want to deal with them. They should be penalized and I would go to another dealer for services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asaulo1 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I agree with Guru. The tech at the dealer went through a whole checklist showing me the ins and outs of the bike... I know it's a pain since you really want to ride the thing home but missing fluids is just way too much of an oversight to be ignored..... Hope you get it all resolved, stache.... cheers! here he is going thru the bike with me.... image by asaulo911, on Flickr 2015 Yamaha FZ-07 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 2014 Honda Grom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you get it all resolved, stache.... cheers! here he is going thru the bike with me.... image by asaulo911, on Flickr FYI, I didn't ride it home, it was delivered. The reason I sorta balk at just complaining, is I work in Customer Service, have for 20+ years and I have very high expectations. BUT, I also like to give a person a chance to make a wrong right, if they do that then I am happy. BUT(again) I will still call corporate and explain the situation, that it is resolved, but customers need to be treated better...guys, let me just say the LAST person you want remotely dissatisfied is me, because I have a list of dates, times, conversations, and failed expectations....OMG I JUST WENT MANAGER MODE :P So they will hear from me, as for the walkaround, I was in a HUGE hurry as I was late for a meeting, and I can read, and I prefer to do it on my own...I am freakin old and woulda forgot all he said anyway :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lusiphur Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 AAAAA OK, we have a similar but different color scheme in the US. Instead of Matt Gray we have Liquid Graphite. The wheels and frame are a blue. I came up with an awesome name for my bike. Since it's Liquid Graphite, I have named my bike T2 after the second terminator that could change shape. and here he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
