New member from Florida - need help finding good dealer to service bike

[ncpkwyrider747]

I just picked up my new 2023 Super T this past Saturday. I'm really enjoying the bike and already have over 400 miles on the odometer. I live in northern Florida and need to find a good, reputable, trustworthy Yamaha dealership to do the break-in service. Unfortunately I've had issues with the local dealership and don't trust them. Can anyone recommend a good dealership in northern or central Florida? Thanks.

Broward motorsports. They own many dealers all over Florida. If the dealer is owned by Broward Motorsports, your in good hands…..

Might take “asking”, but probably worth it.

Thanks for the tip. I see dealers in southern Florida but none out my way in the northern or central part of the state.

They probably own those as well. Just call a few local dealers and ask if they are owned by by Broward Motorsports. If they are, your probably good. They own many dealers in Florida.

Better yet- get on the main web site and poke around at all there dealers. Or call the main office in Broward and ask for the closest dealer to your location.

I'll reach out to them. What makes them stand out from the crowd?

I’ve known the owner for about 18 years. Over all, good group of folks for sure. I’m not in Florida, so no personal one on one experience with one dealer.

Thanks, wish I had your connections. Hard to get the "inside scoop" here in FL. So many dealers with mixed reviews.

If you want the best service it take work. Call and “interview” them. Most people don’t have time or just don’t. And then you might find a dealer you really like……. But it’s far away. That’s a whole other issue……. Depends how picky you are ? Some people are…… some people are not.

I reached out to Broward Motorsports. Their dealers are in the southern part of Florida but they have plans to expand north. Closest dealer to me is Treasure Coast which is 215 miles away. Unfortunately they have mixed reviews as well (like the dealers in my area). I'll keep researching. And yes, I am very picky especially with a new motorcycle that's breaking in. Thanks anyway.

Bite the bullet and let the local dealer do the first service (to get it on the books). After that, the only real service you'll need is valve checks every 26K......use the "word of mouth" research method to find a good independent shop going forward.

It may come to that. Finding the right shop/mechanic is much more difficult than I had ever imagined.

Found a good dealer (about 25 miles away) to service the S10. Thanks for your responses.
