[QUOTE="Trailrider57, post: 1386003, member: 87889"] For what it's worth, I bought a new 2012 in late 2014. I did not change tires or oil (maybe I should have) and I followed the Yamaha recommended break in procedures. I've had no issues with the bike. None. I take that back. The dealer's service department did not tighten the pinch bolts on the front axle sprocket nor did they torque the steering column nut. I mean I looked down one day and the pinch bolts were about to fall out. Probably lucky I'm still here. Things to consider: It's been setting on the showroom floor approximately 2 years so they should be willing to deal and discount heavily. Also, work the YES warranty into the deal. I got it thrown in for free after the deal was made and since the bike was new (never titled) the warranty started on the date of purchase. I am riding a 2012 that still has 2 years of factory warranty left on it. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
