I put it up on the center stand. weighted the back end to bring the front wheel up and tried evrythang agin. Called the dealer who said to saturate it in WD40. Tried that and nuthin. Dealers coming to try it himself and pick it up.
Damnit. As cranky as this locks acting, You'd think it was reacting to the temperature in some froze up, inhabitable frostbit tundra, too cold to live there, don't wanna live there, who'd live there place like....say....oh I dunno......Minnesota. Don't seem right this happened down here in Texas. Just damn. (pron "daYUM")

Can you say damn on this form or does that bring a reprimand.

You have to be kidding! :dribble: You haven't been around long, have you?

Love this forum.........You'd think after reading this thread there had been 3 months of snow/ice & no one riding. Hope you get the lock fixed quickly. :yahoo:

 
I came on this forum with a bike problem. In the space of a day I have been repeatedly insulted, my perception of my own self worth and self esteem are shattered. Some Girl in Virginia hates me for calling a few of yall girlies. Some guy thinks I'm the anti Christ for responding to her with one of my favorite jokes....

As a result I have entered a downwardly spiraling vortex of self loathing and sunken into a severe state of depression My world is now a dark and colorless existence and the only relief comes in contemplating taking my own life......and

....and I thought I was gonna meet really nice people when I bought an FJR. :dribble:

Are you looking for self worth and affirmation from this group? If so, I would RUN- not walk -to the nearest therapist - any kind of therapist. Just do it...you can thank me later. :)

Absolutely, called my attorney this afternoon.

On a serious note: Just called the dealership about my bike (they didn't call me) to find out when I could pick it up.

Service manager said that ignition is shot because they had to bust it off of the bike. Further stated that there is no ignition available anywhere in either the United States or Japan for the bike even though ignitions in 06's and 07's are the same.

I know...I was thinking the same thing....This guy cannot have that right. But after asking the question three times he insisted that what he said is true and that I understand him correctly...and went on to assure me that he could have my problem corrected and bike back to me within a month, (because at the end of thirty days the Texas Lemon laws kick in.) At least I'm going to fucking France for two weeks... assuming that thirty days won't turn into sixty.

The moral of the story is: Take care of your ignition. If it is sticky at all use graphite and don't let it go unaddressed for any period.

Now I really am depressed.

Sucks about the bike and that's a bullshit response. I'd run to another dealer. How about getting a lock set salvage?

About the depression, one word:...no make that two words: Welbutrin, Zanax

I had a friend who worked in the oil patch...ah, that's erl patch in Texaspeak (here we go again!) and his favorite saying was, "Happiness is a Texan heading south with an Okie under each arm." (This was an oil patch up north, of course.)

Now, admittedly, my friend was sometimes a real asshole and a bit of a bigot which I of course am not. Why, some of my best friends are Texans...

Actually, I'd venture that the best blues guitar music in the world comes out of the Lone Star...and some good beer, too. Hoist a Shiner for me.

This is entirely possible, but call Mike @ U-Motors to confirm. (701) 235-6478. File that number away as they have the best prices on FJR/Yamaha parts bar none. You can also call Yamaha's customer relations line @ (800) 962-7926, which I would prolly do before calling Mike.

I suggested that he take a lock from another bike and replace it later when he finally got one. His response was that he would then have two bikes where the ignition key did not match the bags. My response was that it was extraordinary that this could even occur and more extraordinary that he was more worried about his inconvenience than a customer with no bike to ride whose only contribution to the predicament was being nice enought to buy the bike....and doesn't care about having two keys.

As for Texas, thanks for the nice words. As far as the depression, I was just having fun with all that.

"downwardly spiraling vortex of self loathing".

We all get our kicks different ways.
