Re: I think I have had it with Yamaha Dealers
I am sympathetic to the aggravation, but leaking fork seals are not a guarantee on a Tenere just because it's ridden offroad. Lots of beat-on Teneres have enjoyed flawless fork seals.
Admittedly, mine have been changed 3 times in 40,000 miles. But they were changed as maintenance measures. They have never leaked. And I don't have a reputation of even cleaning my bike.
And concerning that amazing 2015 GSA, (it IS an amazing machine) 7.5K miles hardly represents any guarantee that it will be as reliable and trouble free as a 2015 Tenere.
It might! But odds are not in its favor.
