My motorcycle dealer sucks!!! This is getting rediculous. I went to pick up the YZF600R today after it's first 600 Mile service. Here's how it went: I go in to pay the bill. $215 for an oil change. The documentation I got doesn't list any other activities performed (carburator rejetting, brakes checks, etc.) So I essentially paid $215 for an oil change. I'm a F***ing sucker, with a capital f***ing "F". Then I ask the guy behind the counter, "I'd like to buy a collar gasket." Wide-eyed, he looks at me. "A what?" I say, "Collar Gasket. It's used in the exhaust system -- it connects to the s-pipe." (Keep in mind I'm not very good with mechanics and engines -- I'm a programmer, whaddya want? I can build things though with wood and lay tiles, so I'm no slouch... ;) He doesn't know what I'm talking about. Neither of the guys behind the counter did. He told me "I can call Yamaha and order the part for you." I told him to forget it. I didn't even WANT to know how much they were going to charge me for a $14 gasket. You mean to tell me that a YAMAHA shop doesn't stock Yamaha parts, let alone know what they are?! So I walk out flustered, and wait (impatiently) for the tech to bring out the cycle. The bike was DISGUSTING. Dirt, water spots, *footprints* on the seat... I couldnt' believe my eyes. I didn't want to argue with the guy. I just wanted to get the HELL out of there. My wife was amazed. I'm gonna fire a nice letter to Yamaha about this. And I'm going to go on a wild goose chase to find the gasket so I can switch the exhaust system. I want my bike to be loud. Sorry -- just venting. At least I have my road test on Friday to look forward to. -V ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-community@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
