[QUOTE="In come tacks, post: 1388885, member: 119165"] No, I agree with the old guy. The Yamaha dealer used to stock most parts and order a few. These days the cheap dealers don't want to manage the inventory, front the money, etc... all of that garble was from people who don't understand what service should be. These cycle mfgrs are spoiled as well. At first, they didn't know the tolerance of the American customer, and they would have parts and techs on hand to service your ride. We've taught them not to care. Kinda like commercials - there used to be a few an hour, then a few on the half hour. Now they've done studies to see how many till we lose interest entirely, and push that much time in commercials. But yeah, I rebuilt a '78 Yamaha YZ125 back in '84, and they had everything IN STOCK except the clutch cable (and that was a tiny shop). The proof that they don't care anymore? Why don't they stock the generic crap we ask for all the time? Like bolt-on kickstands and other after-market stuff they could hawk. Instead, the employees sit and wait, hoping someone will buy a bike today. [/QUOTE]
