If you come rolling in to Yamaha with your bike it's additional $30 per wheel to take them off. (It might be $35).

Another thing, I serviced my bike twice at that Countryside dealership and yesterday i found a wheel bolt stripped a bit. Also I know they torqued my wheel way above 60 N/meters. That can't be too good for you. I wonder what else they did that I haven't noticed yet???


Cool, will let you know.

Nice job on the front wheel, that's the one you'll want to get balanced sooner than the rear.


As for Countryside, I would quit giving them free advertising on your license plate frame....

I like their sales staff. Mike and Carey. And the parts department is always nice people.
I just don't like the service manager. And service prices are outrageous. Also according to him nothing on my bike is covered under warranty.
Douche!

Has anyone made or bought a home static balancer for the rear wheel as yet you can by at a reasonable price balancers for front or rear wheels with bearings but not with BIG holes in the middle like ours

Marc Parnes make a balancer for BMW.s with an insert for the rear wheel.
Quality tool that works great!

Google Marc and you'll find where to get one.

You know us lot over here in the UK are spoiled for choice when it comes to tyre dealerships and
fitting and balancing. I have ten, maybe more within a 25 mile radius , they all cater for bikes
and are relatively inexpensive. They charge peanuts for fitting and balancing and
the one I use also doesn't charge me to remove and refit wheels. But I've known him for many years
and take my cars to him as well as my bikes. He's also a biker so he knows what he's doing and is very quick.
It always amazes me at the American and Australian guy's ingenuity when facing a task as
mundane as breaking a bead! =D>
OJ........everybody's pal!!
