Whaaat!? I hope they fired that tech or you don't give them your money any more. Sheesh.I just replaced mine with bulk ebay female Dzus fasteners. They didn't fit the stock male portion but I was able to use a small set of files to fine tune them. They were cheap and I had them in a few days. I wouldn't have replaced them but the dealer used a power screwdriver to remove the panel ruining the clips
That sucks! I was spoiled the last couple of places I lived, having a good 5 start rated Yamaha dealer close by. This time, not so much. The closest 5 start dealer told me, when I inquired about a quote for the 26k mile valve check/adjust, "if you aren't having problems starting the bike, I wouldn't bother to check the valves." I was too surprised to give a snappy answer and just said, ok, thanks and hung up. I just rode 400 miles to get a good 5 start dealer to check my valves, (and 400 miles back home today). All in spec at 28k and the measurements not only written on the receipt, but logged into the Yamaha dealer network as well. Hourly rate was reasonable and total cost for the service was $304, about $150 less than my last check in UT. Took them 3 hours, plus a couple of part items, (valve cover gasket and another gasket).In the end it was all our fault of course. For taking it to them in the first place
They're not short, you have something in the way. It's such a loose tangle of wires and connectors behind that panel that often times i have to tuck them back in to get the panel to be flush.We will see ordered some. Everything lines up. Damn fastners are just a tad short. Last time out I got rid of the little plastic washer. It went together after. With a little effort. Instead countersinking or filing material away from the fastners head I thought I would try the Zeus clips with new receptors. If it works could prove most convenient.
The last time I did something to improve Yamaha’s design, I added a zert grease fitting to the shifter. That worked out great. No more stuck gear shifts. Once a year or so hit their zert with the grease gun and all is good.
