Initially posted this on my Facebook and got a heap of replies saying yes they too had less than adequate service from Yamaha
Ive written to Yamaha riders club on this but don't expect a reply... Watchara Marine Yamaha... well I dont believe a word i hear anymore and when the boss their starting rattling of about taking FZ1 club on rides into laos and Myanmar i just shut down as this is NOT the bike for these areas...apart from the fact that it wasnt addressing my situation....
Maybe Yamaha only interested in selling scooters and thats fine
Post as below
4 months its taken to get new fairings for my FZ1 after the altercation with a cyclist in January.. Watchara Marine blame Yamaha Riders club,
Yamaha riders club blame Watchara Marine.. boss at Watchara Marine rattles on how he is going to set up a FZ1 riders club.. who the f$% cares..
I could have paddled to Japan got the spares and paddled back in the time its taken... why would anyone buy a Yamaha here when they are so useless at providing basic parts like fairings etc....what gets me even more is when I dropped the bike off I was told three weeks which became end of March which become mid April which was soon changed to end April which was then changed to 15th May which is now become May 24th.... the 15th May was told to me as an " I promise you".. well i tell you what I promise not to bad mouth Yamaha Thailand over this to all and sundry... I promise you..
Do I have a comparison / reference point.. yes Ducati. They got new engine belt from Ducatii Italy in three days..... Yamaha Japan out of stock I hear you say.. no problems I gave Watchara Marine when I dropped the bike off all the details of Yamaha USA who had all the parts in stock.... what is it about Thailand and service levels such that they can't or wont call you up and tell you the issue and give you options.......
Ok rant over now breathe 2, 3 4.. there all better.. I promise you
