Yamaha dealer list

[ghs3]

All the threads regarding Yamaha dealers are in the "Watering Hole" forum, so here goes...

 

In a couple of weeks I'm taking a bike trip through 11 states and wanted to take a list of Yamaha dealers in those states with me 'just in case'. Does anyone know of a website that lists Yamaha dealers by state? I don't care if I have to cut & paste each state into a 'master list'. The problem I'm having is that the sites I've been to require a zip, or city, or only list 'featured dealers' etc... and others just list links to the individual dealer's web site.

 

I only need name, address and phone number in case of emergency, which seems like such a simple thing...

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Major stops are: Montrose CO, Arches National Park UT, Dinosaur National Monument CO, Yellowstone National Park WY, Glacier National Park MT, plus whatever 'amazing' ride I hear about along the way. Route is subject to change without notice - complete freedom for 16 days.

Hello: Having access to this website and the wonderful members is the best insurance a biker can have. Members have the best knowledge of good dealers/parts new and used if you need them. 16 days of freedom. I am jealous. Keep us posted.

Here is the POI file for Yamaha dealers. The first are the USA dealers and the second is Canada. Unfortunately, both are from 2007 so are very outdated.

OK startouring dealer search does not find all the dealers for the areas I checked, but it is a good place to start.

 

the Yamaha corporate page will return a better list if you know a zip code for that area.

 

Notice the bronze. silver and gold stars assigned to each dealership. keep in mind that the dealer who cracked my cam shaft and then claimed my bike was running right was a bronze star dealer I do not reccomend Lake city choppers, plattsburgh NY, I do reccomend Roadside power sports williston, VT(they diagnosed and fixed what the other dealer did

Thanks to all - I will use what I can to put together a dealer list, but most of the links require a zip, city/state, or don't display all the dealers (one doesn't even list the dealer in Green Bay where I bought my bike).

 

The GPS was a good idea, but my GPS is maybe 4 years old and not updateable. I keep using it because it has an audio jack for earbuds. One day I'll go Bluetooth...

 

I'm not an ex-HD owner - thought about it but couldn't bring myself to spend the extra 10 grand or so to get a Harley similar to the RSTD. Just wanted a smooth and reliable ride.

 

Really, I don't expect any problems (unless you consider a sore butt a problem), just trying to be prepared. Battery/tires ok, getting a routine tune-up before I leave, just put on a new lower Clearview shield (I'm short and look thru the stock shield, not fun in the rain).

 

I'm happy to post pictures if you're interested, and if you have any advice on surviving a two week cruise let me know.

 

Thanks for the offers of assistance if needed - if I meet any of you I hope it's not under those circumstances!!!
