Re: Broke down ST update

[KEGLER916@xxxxxxx]

    I had the same question back in 92 with a Yamaha FZR-1000.
The engine was completely disassembled 3 times before my problem was cured. 
My warranty bill when the problem was finally figured out was a little over 
7000.00!  Over course that included a rental car for 5 weeks and lots of 
Yamaha "we want you to be a happy customer goodies" Hell I didn't pay that 
much for the bike brand new.
  When I asked the rep why he just didn't replace the engine he said that 
Yamaha needed this bike on the road. In fact they gave me an additional 3 
year warranty.
