Jeesh a whole dealer riff

I do do my own work including motor tear downs if need be.

I can't tell the good guys at a dealership from the temp crack addicts. I always had the attitude that I don't want to be doing triple digits and worry about whether my local mechanic was having a bad day. Everytime I got a new bike setup by a dealer I pull over around the next turn. Tighten everything I think they were responsible for and sure as shootin I find something missed. On average they earned my scorn.

Pricing I asked my dealer what price a BT-014 for a 2005 gxsr rear tire was
A they have been selling lots of these bikes but of course they didn't have one.
They could order one and go down to 176 plus tax

sorry its 135 in my hand, delivered by the brown truck not another 1 hr round trip to the dealer.
If they had one I would have gone for $150 for convenience but WTF are they doing for me.

Also if some smart dealer will ship me a new bike in the crate I a better price I would buy it like that !!

And screw Yamaha when the old bike started burning oil at a rate of 1qt every 600 miles when still under warrantee they said that was acceptable usage. The internet all over with oil burning problems and they pretended to never heard a word about it.

Buy the bike, say a little prayer, change your oil. No further help will be coming

Has anyone had a really great experience buying a car? Or getting it dealer serviced?

Selling is a tough racket...

Look in your own sole you know if you are cheating somebody...

If your unwilling to tell your grandma the ins and outs of a deal then maybe you are on the darkside.

People need cars so they have to be sold by someone.

Hell compared to lots of stuff casinos , lawyers, etc. at least they end up with a car

There was a reason Yamaha pulled the plug on this dealership/bikeshop back in 1997. They litterally suck

yep, exactly right. some of the people that work there are good but as a whole, real sad, mostly it's the way the shop is run. motorcycles are a tough way to make a living.
