I remember that quite a while ago Motorcycle Consumer News reported on the high rate of GTS ABS failures. They said that in their own light-duty research, the percentage of ABS pumps that were needing replacement was well over the percentage that would usually force a recall by the NTSB. I think maybe Yamaha as been as "gracious" as they have been on this issue because they want to avoid a potential recall situation. In this light, they could be "reminded" of the failure rate of these units and their past practice of replacing them outright, and more than likely they will play nice and foot the entire bill.
Don't hesitate to play hardball with Yamaha, that's exactly what they've done with most us in the past. -Derek ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Davids" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 6:53 PM Subject: Re: Update ABS Problems > >They said they wouldn't cover everything (parts and labor) because the bike > >is out of warranty for such a long time and I am not the original owner, > >plus > >the bike was not well maintained before I got it. > > > Just an FYI.
