[QUOTE="JQL, post: 1451516, member: 87556"] Unfortunately, some Yamaha Dealer's mechanics are just cowboys. In Europe I had multiple problem with the work for the 2nd gear recall. The garage fixed one of the problems but refuse to fix the other. I went to Yamaha France and they sent an "investigator" to check the bike out - waste of time. He said that the vibration was "within limits". I even wrote to the CEO of Yamaha Japan - another waste of time. They never replied to my letters. Soured my relationship with Yamaha and will probably never buy anything from them ever again. I've had a number of problems with Main Dealers: Honda in the UK (in France they are excellent), Mercedes (yep, couldn't fix an HID headlight) and Yamaha in France and now will usually avoid Main Dealers like the plague unless I have no option. You need to make sure that the garage gets a bad review and rating in as many places as possible (don't forget Google Maps) and then find a good independent mechanic to look after the bike or learn to do it yourself.
