I have a lot to say to all of you, but first I want to thank three members in this group. Without their input and suggestions, I would be riding a Harley tomorrow. First I want to thank Blackjack for reminding me how to put things into sequence, he brought me back to my senses on a few things. I want to thank Muffinman for a few suggestions he had, hey Jeff when you read this, a super qualified mechanic is getting on a plane right now. Orrin, thanks for your suggestion to send my letter registered. I did you one better, I sent it overnight certified delivery and required a signature. I also want to let you all know, if any of you are having a problem with this clutch whine issue and the dealer will not take care of it for you, call me. I have a contact number and I can talk to the Chief service manager for Yamaha direct. No I will not give that number out, I wish to respect the man and not have him flooded with nonsense calls, but if you need some help....give me a call. You should also be aware that most of the time.......not always, but most of the time, these dealers have the I-basket and all the related parts on hand, or can get them overnight, so when one of them tells you some nonsense story about having to contact Yamaha and makes you wait three weeks.....that is what it is NONSENSE!! They are in reality telling you.........we do not know.........please go away! I also now know the whine or chirp as it is called is not specifically the clutch basket. It is the riveted on main drive gear on the back of the basket......I will know more about this tomorrow. I also know there are more than one basket design and type.....some suit one application.......some another..........I also know the statement made by some dealers that all the I basket does is move the sound from one resonance to another.......is another NONSENSE statement. The bike should and will run quiet........Yamaha knows how to do this. In any event Crickett is going to the Doctor tomorrow. Everything is in place. I got a call from Yamaha early this morning, I had a nice conversation with the fellow and made a few suggestions, and listened to some of his.......bottom line........I am making a run up to Rock Hill in the morning and they are going to ride Crickett and fix her all tomorrow while I hang out and try to behave. Yamaha will respond , and they will take care of you. Yes you have to bypass the dealer and fight your way to get in touch with the right people.....but it can be done. The upper management people are quite nice.......prompt, and concerned with the representation of their product and the use of it by people just like us. I hope I have said all this correctly and to the point. I will let you all know the final result tomorrow evening. I have to fill Crickett up with gas and find my thermal shirt and get ready for a ride up the interstate(90 miles) in the morning. Respectfully Kit:thumbsup:
