goose neck, repacking

[Brake Pad]

My yamaha shop is telling me they are charging me for the regreasing.

isn't this warranty work? The neck was never done. 44,000 miles on her.

the bike is a 07 venture

Sorry Mike but maintenance items like grease and oil changes are normal "wear" items and you can be charged for it, unless the neck bearings were being replaced under warranty for premature wear/breakage. If its just plain maintenance your out of luck.

[Brake Pad]

Auuh come on, I'm trying my best to get this done. Now I paid for a maintance agreement. and under it, they were going to re grease it. but they never did.

I'm going to keep fighting, I paid for it

[Yammer Dan]

If I paid for it I would want it!! Did you have the agreement on paper?

[Brake Pad]

Yep, when I bought the bike.

the shop never called me back.

I'll go be a pain in there Butts tomorrow

[Yammer Dan]

They trying to sneak out.

You never said you had a maintenance agreement in your first post......If its part of it then I would raise hell.

[Brake Pad]

The Bike shop is doing the service, as part of the Paid program.

The serive contract stated that it was to be repacked at 12,000. & 26,000, neither happened.

the Rear hub will be on me.

[flb_78]

Really? Every 12,000 miles? Dang!

 

Yeah, if you paid for a maintenance agreement, I would think that maintenance would be covered.

 

Can I ask how much the agreement was and how long is it good for?

Ive never heard of the steering neck being called a goose neck before either.

 

The only Gooseneck I know of is a trailer design.

That sounds like quite the deal then. Does it also cover valve adjustment?

 

If they sold the agreement, then they either need to follow their own contract and do every prescribed service or refund every penny of the contract.

Gooseneck lamps, gooseneck microphone stands, gooseneck on a boat, and gooseneck on a trailer...and of course, Geese have them!

 

Oh yeah, bicycles have them too...its the piece that rises out of the neck bearing to hold the handlebars.

down here in south Florida, that trailer set up is known as a 5th wheel.

Fifth wheel trailers and couplers use what is called a kingpin, mounted on an apron plate on the trailer, pointing down, and it slides horizontally into a set of steel, self-closing, jaws embedded in the pivoting fifth wheel plate mounted on the frame or bed of the towing unit.

 

Gooseneck trailers have a female coupler on the trailer that drops vertically over the solidly mounted 2-5/16" ball mounted on the frame or bed of the towing unit.

 

Me thinks some of those Floridians may be confused!
