MAKE them fix it. Quote
LiftdT4R Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 Take it straight back, and don't take their bullshit when they try to tell you its something else you gotta pay for. MAKE them fix it. I second that, dont fuck with it yourself, or wait on it, they'll probably know and then they won;t do shit for you. I'm guessing you paid to have them fix the bike, not make it worse, fuck 'em make 'em fix it! Quote
ehenn34 Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Posted January 23, 2007 thanks fellas, i will deff. do that.... so u dont thinks its cause the how cold it is? Quote
Washburn Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 First ask them what they checked out. Odds are they will tell you they checked out shit they dident even look at. Then Make them do your carbs over at no cost and recheck what they said they checked. If they think you need a new part while checking it tell them to call you before they charge you for anything. They charge like 11 bucks for a clamp you can get for less than a dollar at your local hardware store. Yamaha dealers usualy just service your carbs by putting new OEM parts in and charging you up the ass for part$$$ and Labor$$$$. If its not starting and bogging in a netural drop (witch is a bad idea to do) you could be sucking in air. What did you take it in for? Just to have the carbs cleaned and jetted? Quote

Just to have the carbs cleaned and jetted? nah, u replied to my post where i listed my problem.. i changed my throttle cable then had white smoke and oil coming out of right exhaust... they said on receipt, "diagnose/remove both carbs, re-assyble correctly / repair throttle cable.." could they really mess anything up doin just that? thats why i keep mentioning the cold weather... thanks Quote
okbeast Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 Well if the smoking was the problem cleaning carbs probably aint gonna fix that. Most likely that means the crankcase oil seal is out. But ya definately take it back to them and make them fix it. Quote
ehenn34 Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Posted January 23, 2007 well i finally got the bike started .... took it for a quick spin and felt like it wasnt givin full power, may not have been warmed up enough, but the bike backfired a coulpe times. started it up again and another problem has occured... the same one that i took the bike in for in the first place.. but now its the left side of bike... white smoke comin out of left exhaust and i found oil on the wheelie bar... people on here said it could be a leak when it was the right exhaust , but when fixed that was stated on receipt.. just need an idea of what could be causin this problem , so i have a little knowledge before i call the yamaha dealer..... thanks Quote
