So heres the deal..Hal and Skooter were at my house January 19 for a valve check party.....when we did the check on mine they were all good excerpt the very last one. The cam got pulled ( was tied to the cam gear so it wouldn't move) and correct shim was installed.
When we got the bike back together and fired it up it idled fine with the fast idle circuit working but as soon as the fast idle circuit stopped so did the bike.......as you can imagine I got very pissed off with the bike and took it to my local dealer for them to figure out....I told them all that had been done and left it with them.
After a few days they call me and say that they had run all the checks and everything was normal, they had spoken to Yamaha and had come to the conclusion that the fast idle was the problem and it needed a new throttle body, the new one was on the way from Japan.
I mentioned to them several times that maybe the cam gear was "off " from our valve check, no way was the answer, you would not have been able to ride it down here if that was the case...
Moving ahead to Thursday, I was on a trip up to Monterey with Roy they call me and say your bike is ready..
I got back this morning and have just been and picked it up, and what do you know, the first light i come to the fucking thing stalls again, just like it did when i took it there 3 weeks ago....
All i can say is thank god for Y.E.S. warranty....I now have a $1700 dollar throttle body that i didn't need and a bike that still doesn't run.
Thoughts????
