What Vibrations?
+1! All of this courtroom-like examination and innuendo harkens up images of McCarthy during the Red Scare. I seriously believe some S10s vibrate more than ohters, and I hope Yamaha gets to the bottom of it, because eliminating variation is how the Japanese have built their reputation when it comes to QC.immigrant said:Dude, you either work for Yamaha, or you have a serious love affair with your S10. Either way, you somehow do not like it when somebody says something bad of the S10. If the man says his bike vibrates, i believe him, cause mine does it also, and there are various other threads complaining about it. some people learn to live with it, others do some mods, and i guess the last resort is to sell it and buy another bike, but let it go and let the man have is rant

IRRELEVANT AGAIN AND NO RELATIONSHIP WITH FASST

From a one of his post's on this forum on Nov. 24, 2011
If someone is working with someone on something isn't that a relationship? :question: So which statement is true? :question:Hello all! I have been working with FAAST over the last month and a half back and forth to work out a FLEXX bar solution for the ST. The problem of having enough room for all the controls seems to be solved with the use of longer handle sections.
If there are significant vibration issues with his bike, I hope they get fixed. But in regards to whether this is a warranty coverage issue for Yamaha and ulterior motives, this story is flatly inconsistent and filled with outright false hoods. That's the bottom line. ::002::
+1Tiger_one said:Thanks for the research on this topic Protondecay123. I also recall early reports by this poster on the ST as he received his bike well ahead of us here. It doesn't take much for someone to start a tirade against a company and then others jump on fanning the blaze sometimes unknowingly. Thanks again for the research.
Me thinks a combination of both!!!GrahamD said:Something smells like fish. Are techs really that clueless these days?
Or have the lawyers completely taken over the asylum?
GrahamD said:OK, so I am reading this to find out what the answer is to these vibration problems..
So for the effort that has gone into this so far what are the results? The results are that the issue was not resolved and that Yamaha does not accept his warranty claim as can be read in this topic.
My S10 is like a sewing machine, unless I am hard on the throttle, which is what I expect having two 600cc pistons thumping away down there.
Then it is almost like my Strom with two 500cc pistons thumping away down there. I've always ridden twins and this one would be the best of the bunch, for me.
What I just can't understand is why this is still going after 2 years. You could have pulled down an engine into it's component parts, measured them and put it back together in a week. So what gives? Some shop in the UK did half of that for Nick Sanders bike. The answer to this question too can be read in this topic.

Yeah Scottie, but who knows....maybe you and the fellow in South Africa had a secret agenda planned all along! ::012:: Come on tell us the truth...how much did you guys make??? If you two guys and Roger are in it...I want a piece of it...just tell me what do I need to do to screw up my engine...I'll do it!!! ::025::Scottie Boy said:I had the exact same problems on my bike. If protondecay123 wants to research all of my posts here and at ADVrider feel free to do so. I can also provide notarized affidavits from witnesses if he wants as well. ::009::
erm..... I think the OP is from Mexiko..... human rights and consumer rights are probably not all that establishedjohnnail said:I still don't get it. Indiana has a Lemon Law. I'm sure a lot of other states do. That's what a lawyer is for. If you post a problem here to make others aware of it, that's a good thing, but if you just want to hear echos , it's not. If you really want to change the bike, then Sue, and get a new one...
that's good to hear - leaves that avenue open for himOscar said:We do have existing laws that protect the consumer in Mexico. There is even a Federal agency that will file help/defend the consumer...as far as I understand, it is free and you don't even need a lawyer...and it is pretty effective as a matter of fact. Regarding vehicles, this agency will apply a fine of 3 times the value of the required repair if the supplier does not respond to the claim. I don't know all the details, and I don't know if that also includes motorcycles but yes, there is always that alternative, I'm pretty sure it would be an uphill battle though.
If Yamaha's final say is that there is nothing wrong with the bike, you could ask them to trade it in and pay the difference for a new one, but I think the OP's intent with this thread is more of awareness and the possibility of this issue to be recurrent in many units. I think his points are very valid.
Hello Kees,Blue_eyes said:Hi Roger,
I can only attest that I have always found you to be genuine, honest, polite and in no way shape or form trying to pull anyone's leg or play a trick on Yamaha or anyone.
You have every right to fight your cause, and have Yamaha solve the problems you are experiencing. You have taken the correct steps and I too am bitterly dissapointed in Yamaha's attitude and response until now.
I truly hope this matter will be solved soon to your full satisfaction. As for the folks that question your motivations, just (try to) ignore them. I know that can be very difficult as I experience it too.
Just focus on what your goal is: have Yamaha solve the issue with your bike, what others may think is totally irrelevant. It is your bike, you experience the issues, Yamaha is your sole partner to communicate with, stop communications on this forum regarding this issue, you can do without them.
Wishing that it will be resolved soon and to your complete satisfaction,
Kind regards,
Kees
Have you ever gone through the lemon law process? It's not straightforward or simple and the outcome is far from assured especially if you have a borderline problem that is subjective. Maybe I'm just being overly practical, but if I were in a situation with a borderline problem like this, I'd just punt - sell the bike and get a different one. No way, I'd start down the lemon law process for something like this - way too much hassle for the expected return.johnnail said:I still don't get it. Indiana has a Lemon Law.
