No not that kind. But I can't throw that shit back at you. War Child will lock the thread out. I can't even say "girlie" around here.

The song is rough. Gonna record it with a full band in June, but it should achieve the desired result in this form.

Well when I played it

1 a squirel ran over and started humping my dog

2 the neighbors cat had an epilectic seizure

3 blood started oozing from the eardrums

Guess its a winner.

Ok. That's a good outcome and fairly typical outside the state lines. I'm originally from Bham by the way. Parents still live in Cahaba Heights. War Eagle.

Open mic night at WFO?

I've tried most everything suggested here except for getting the front wheel off the ground, which I'm gonna try this morning.Thanks

As for the belittling quote above concerning Texas: It's been my experience in my lifetime that people that are not stupid, but not smart enough to know that they are not particularly bright....rely heavily on sarchasm as an indication of their intelligence. (mean little school girl syndrome) Remark unappreciated.

Thanks to everyone else.

Mine has stuck too and if I cannot get it out then my wife has helped me by applying pressure to turn left if I am on the side stand.That usually does it.The keys are soft so be careful.AS for the Vegas commentator,I think he has been out in the sun too long and maybe a little jealous of the fact that the beach is only forty five minutes from Houston!

I'm glad to see that you guys are all making nice and having fun here, but to get back on topic, can anybody understand why the tech. could not have removed the top of the triple tree and taken the lock out without destroying it and disabling the bike?

I would be very unhappy if my dealer damaged a part before he checked availability of the replacement. I would expect him to consult me before doing the damage.

+1 This is the same outfit that told him to spray WD40 in the lock right? I would not let those dumb-asses touch my bike. Even if I did buy it there. Remember, they also had to do the buildup! So WTF else did they do wrong? Tell em to give you back your money and go buy another one.

I was lucky in mine. My dealer marked every single nut and bolt with a marker as he checked it. I know how much time and care he put into the build because he checked EVERYTHING..

Of note, During the build up he actually greased the final drive (I asked him to check it when he was putting new rubber on a couple weeks ago) "I already greased it, and re torqued the steering head when I built the bike" I did not even know of these issues until I started hanging around here. Tehy have a passion for the stuff (With a name like "Full Throttle Motorsports" I guess they should ^_^

Take yer bike away or your money away. There gots ta be another dealer with competent techies in your neck of the woods. You live in a big woods right??

Well then the lyrics should be "I wanna die on the nob in New Merkle"................jeez man where's your dignity and loyalty to the rednek cause

I after all was raised in Cahaba Heights, went to C. H. elementary then on to Gresham middle and finished up at Shades Valley. Cut my motorcycle teeth back there in C. H. at the strip pits behind the old water pumping station on the Little Cahaba river next to Blue Lake.

Welcome......................and the dog pile should end soon............God knows I've been dumped on enough already. Wifey wont let me back in the house w/out a shower first

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.

What am I missing here? Tell them to take the bags off of your 500 mile bike (I'm sure they aren't bitched up) and put them on the new bike where they harvest the ignition assembly and give you the new bags with your new ignition assembly. Then, you have your bike and he only has 1 bike where the locks don't match and he won't have to worry about hitting the 30 day lemon law threshold.

fwiw, I laugh at the fish market joke every time I hear it...and it was a female that most recently told it to me. I hope I don't rot in hell, get banned, or get kicked in the nutz for laughing at it. and i won't dare go on about the joke of what the 3 tampons said to the guy walking down the street.

If I'm not mistaken you don't even need to switch the bags...just the lock cylinders. (Right? Anyone??)

That's what I'm thinking, that and the core to unlock the seat, don't forget about that one.

If you don't or can't get this resolved in a day or two, I'd be going over someone's head. This is not cool.

Please post what dealer did this (if you haven't already) so the rest of us can avoid them.

Hm.....a groupie contest....of course, I would cheat and just pick up some hookers from the local strip club.

When I was a kid (right after the ice melted the first time) We used to go swimming at a place on the Cahaba called "the bluffs"

which was real close to the pumping station. We'd jump off some rocks and a pine tree with a little platform nailed to it. Used to love all that. Also down on old 280 there was a bridge with a small man made waterfall that we'd go over. Dude named John Word almost drowned after a rain one time.

Small world. I go see my parents once a year. Next time I'll take the truck and throw in the bike and you can show me some roads. There's this area where there's some bike place called Dream something or other. I was in a car but it seemed like a great area for riding.

Update on my circumstance for anyone interested:

1) Service mgr called me today and said that 7 main switch assembly's had been located in Japan

2) Part had been ordered.

3) I asked him if part was ordered as quickly as possible and he seemed unclear about it.

4) Said stuff usually comes in 3 days

5) I called Yammer cust service with the part # and my vin and a very pleasant woman named Julie found the dealer's order and promised to look into it and get some info back to me.

Having read all that....When do yall think I can realistically expect the part to arrive in Houston, Texas?

Figger two weeks, then add for the Murphy Effect.

How did your dealer respond to replacing the bags and seat lock?

 

[Yamma Jamma]

How did your dealer respond to replacing the bags and seat lock?

told me there was no need if I could just wait a few days....

Now I wait, either it happens in 3-4 working days as Yamaha has promised or it happens in 2+ weeks as TwoWheelNut has predicted. It's up to the gods.

For now, I am returning to the semi comatose state that I call my life. Thanks to everyone here for the help. Enjoyed our little time together.
