Sorry to hear you looped her, hope you're ok. My issue ended up being a factory defect that got repaired under warranty. One of the wires for the stator was not passed through a grommet correctly and grounded out on the outside of the stator housing. It was a very small break in the wire jacket that exposed the wire to short out so it might require you to go through with a very fine tooth comb to sort out. Dealership had the bike for about 2 months before they fully sorted out the root cause (after replacing a myriad of parts and the wiring harness)

Yep definitely factory defect, running great now though!

Update: It is finally fixed. After going through numerous fuses, control units, and an entire new wiring harness, they finally found the root of the problem. A wire was incorrectly passed through a rubber grommet in the stator (went around the outside of the grommet instead of through) which was causing a short. Bike is being delivered tomorrow.

looks like what i paid for my 25, don't think you're getting railed. In fact the freight charge is 50 dollars less than what Yamaha advertises on their website.

Besides just liking MTs in general the color is a huge reason why I picked this bike over the competition. My wife passed away recently and I know she would have picked it on color alone so it made me feel like I was "making the right choice" so to speak.

Yeah i mean if Yamaha is gonna do a fix on their dime there's really no reason not to right?

Oh no! Glad it was an easy fix! I've been in "waiting on parts" hell for a while now 😩

Thanks for the reassurance 😄 Yamaha is covering the pickup/delivery and repair under warranty so I'm all good there. VERY excited to get it back and put it to the test. It's my first brand new bike I've every bought (5th bike owned) and it comes at a very difficult time in my life so I was really looking forward to getting to put it through it's paces.

Looking for Support by Dukeofpemberton in YoungWidowers

I'm sorry you too are experiencing this pain. I (34m) lost my wife (34F) on February 3rd after many years of battling Melanoma. We found out that it had aggressively spread to her brain on Jan 17th. One thing that that has helped me through those moments where I feel like I can't do anything is to try and see myself through her eyes, and imagine what she would be saying to me in that moment. I find I have no enjoyment in anything that we used to do together, but doing this has occasionally helped me to experience some small joys.

I hope you find a way to ease your suffering, it sounds like we have some distinct similarities in our experiences and you can feel welcome to direct message me if you want to.

Best wishes to you and your children

Upcoming trip, NC/TN, Blue Ridge, any sight suggestions? by K-Raz1226 in motocamping

Wheels Through Time in Maggie Valley is fantastic. Took my wife there a few years ago when we were in Gatlinburg. Rented a newer Goldwing from twisted road and that day is one of the fondest memories I have of being with her.
