"IF" Yamaha ever came out with an 1800cc or 2000cc or bigger, I would stay with the Yamaha.. If they dont do something soon, I might be looking at a G>G>G>>>>GGGGOOOOLLLDDwing I like the looks of the new Kaw...but not so sure I would want a 2 cylinder for long hauls.

I would also ask them to replace the 'rear' brake pads... I'm willing to bet the inside rear pad is half (or more) already worn out... I would also ask them for a print out of everything or anything that has ever been done by "any" dealer so far. (this will tell you if the 6,ooo mile and or 12,000 mile service was ever performed by an authorized dealer...). This service record will be based on the serial number of the bike.. If there ever was anything wrong or replaced under warrenty or not under warrenty, the list will show it..."IF" the service was done by an authorized dealer. If they tell you there is no previous records to print out, that means NOTHING has ever been done.. That also means, you can tell them the 6,000 mile oil change and service call must have never been done by an authorized dealer then.. So...I would then ask them to perform that 6000 and or 12,000 mile service for free (in the deal of course). This is a paper copy of the service check they performed prior to you getting the bike. Rear shock.. as earlier stated, can be replaced under warrenty. Sit on the bike and bounce it up and down to see if the rear shock squeeks.. This doesnt mean it leaks.. but it squeeks..and you may want it replaced. Clicking noise ...when pushing the bike forward or backwards with the engine shut off.. You yourself can check this right in front of them on the shop floor to ensure the rear hub pins are not dry. Sit on the bike and bounce it up and down to see if the rear shock squeeks

Bought mine new in 05 right off the showroom floor, zero miles / never been rode... It has 58k on it right now, runs like a top, and I plan to see it turn over 100k before I get another one.. By that time I should have a couple more grand in asscssories added too... Just hope Yamaha doesnt come out with an 1800 or 2000 cc before then......

Forrest, Posting a photo of what you actually have would be very helpfull in trying to determine a correct answer. I can post a photo later tonight after I get home for you as to what my front riding light and turn signals look like, or you can do this yourself by going into the photo section of th esit ehere and glance at the different bikes until you find a light set up as you have so you can determine if a spacer is required. -

FYI.. You can page down to the bottom of this page and you will see many threads posted on the famous "clicking" sound.. You might want to print a couple of the below posts out and take with you just int he cae your dealer "has never heard of it" before..

As already mentioned.. it's the bike............they look up the vin and check for warranty by the year... Yes, some dealers charge to look this info up, and some do it for nothing... It only takes a minute to type in the vin# and see if there is any remaining warrenty... Personally, it is not worth $25.00 to me for them to check this.. If they want to charge me to look this quick info up, I KNOW Im dealing with someone who is out to make a dollar and they are not worried at all about me or about what is wrong with my bike..

Just look up Harley Davidson, or 1st gen... Youll get the point...
