    What should a carb rebuild cost from a dealer?

    Took my 2005 max to the dealer finally. Could not get it to run right since I bought it. Anyway, to make a long story short--- dealer says I need a carb rebuild. They want $800. Does that sound right ? Seem way high to me but I want to be done with this so I said go ahead. Did I get screwed ?

    Called Lakeland Dealer about an 05 VMax

    I was of the understanding that the 05's Serial number would match the plate identifying the bike as whatever # of 2000. Dealer told me that the last 4 of the VIN was 0070 and the plate reads 874 of 2000. ???????? Makes No Sense to me:ummm::ummm::ummm::confused2:

    dealer closing

    Who can count how many different pieces of schwag I got recently? Tiebreaker is, "what's in the silver box?" Also, two socks for example, counts as 1 item. I'll email an aftermarket VMax gas filter to the person who first gives me the correct number of separate items by midnight Easter...

    So, how was my 600-mile dealer service?

    Long story I'll try and make short(er). Last summer, I took my BKing to the dealer where I purchased it for the bike's 600-mile service. Looking to get rid of the huge exhaust cans (and feeling lazy), I asked the dealer to please install a set of Yoshi slipons, as well as a Power Commander...

    Dealer 09 Vmax Technical Orientation Guide

    I borrowed this service book from my dealer today. One interesting thing I found is that the exhaust camshafts have what is called a Centrifugal Decompression Device built into them. It sounds like this acts as a compression release until the engine reaches 650 RPMs. It states that the...

    Local dealer: One of three are sold

    My son stopped in at the local Yamaha dealer here in Plano, TX a few days ago, and he was told by a sales person that they have three '09s inbound. One is sold, two will hit the showroom floor. Not sure how common that practice is nationwide (dealers putting down the deposits), but thought...

    Trust the dealer to do the valves?

    Anybody here think it's a good idea to let the dealer do my valve job? It looks like it's going to be a little over 400 for labor/parts. They even offered to pick my bike up with this crumby weather! Let me know...
