[QUOTE="DualSportr, post: 174062, member: 19592"] You have to think about how many e-mails this company must get in a day. Just take a look at their website and see how many hits it gets daily - if you received over 25,000 hits a day, and only 5% of those people e-mailed you with a question, how many employees would it take to respond to all the questions? This is the same reason that you can't call up Honda of America, or Yamaha (or any other major manufacturer). Your local shop is supposed to be "yamaha" or "honda" for all intents and purposes. Of course, the theory falls flat when you go into your local Yamie shop and the gomer at the counter only rides harleys! The manufacturers really need to get back into the business of educating their dealer networks. Anyway - back to the topic at hand: Although the 400 and the 426 are very reliable, they are still race-bred engines and require regular maintenance (including new piston, rings, timing chain, etc). For this reason, I'd lean more towards a newer bike, or one with less hours. The 426's we've set up for our racers in the last year have been easier to ride, and much easier to start than our 400 race bikes of a few years ago. [/QUOTE]
