The dealership called to tell me that some of my parts had arrived. The air deflectors, the top case, and the backrest for the top case. So now I have my top case and its back rest but no way to mount it. So I decided to do the part of it that I can do at the moment, mount the backrest on the top case. The screw hole template they sent me , well lets just say that it appears to be a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy , etc........ If there ever was a screw hole layout on that particular page it has now been copied so many times that it now doesn't show. All you see is a large black rectangle on the page with severely corrupted lettering that required a magnifying glass to read. I did however work out a way to put the holes in , and get the backrest mounted which I am going to work into a post, and I will add photo's into the gallery on the procedure. It is currently hovering around 40 degree's here so I will have to hold off a few days before mounting the air deflectors since part of that operation includes adhesive which don't work well in cold temps.
I really wonder about a company which can produce an amazing product like the Majesty, and do such a crappy job of supplying parts for it and the instructions for said parts. I mean I have ridden motorcycles since I was 14 and now at 44 I've learned a few things about em. The dealerships are always great at getting you in and helping you to decide which one you want and then taking your money to purchase it either through taking your cash or hooking you up with financing. They are more than glad to schedule you in to work on your bike be it a problem, scheduled maintenance, or just part replacement, which also makes them money. But , and this has always been the case, no matter which brand of bike, if you want to buy parts to put on your self or accessories to add to your bike, you WAIT on those parts, you get crappy instructions for them, and the crucial parts are delayed. But if you carry it in to have them put the parts on they seem to be able to work magic, parts they you are told will take weeks to get in show up seemingly overnight to be put on your bike the next day, but at a labor cost ranging from 60 to 100 dollars an hour.
rotest: In addition, ask for the phone & address of Akiro Sano, the president of YamahaUSA, and WRITE him! Whilst this may sound silly, the Japanese take customer comments quite seriously. Several of us writing with the complaint of backordered parts is the kind of feedback he needs to make changes. He needs to recognise that the scooter market in the USA is growing and we want the same add-on parts that are available in Canada and Japan. Secondly, if you take my money and promise me a delivery date, that is your honour. You should keep your promises, even if it means transferring some parts from another market (Japan, Canada, Europe) to the USA. :sign7: Remember, they aren''t going to spend the revenue to import parts unless they know there is a demand.
