From what I know, Yamaha does the PDI in Delhi itself before they send it to the dealer. This was not the case when I bought my bike, where the PDI was done in front of me at the dealer's.Originally posted by rudra666 View PostI cant believe that yamaha could have got it so wrong. i noticed yesterday that my tail light was hanging by just the wire. the 2 screws holding it to the rear assembly had vanished.My friend who owns a yamaha showroom here told me that it probably wasn't fastened well and the vibrations caused it to slip off.Now i have to remove the seat, the unit under the seat . the two plastic cannisters covering the exhausts ( half a days job) just to get to two bloody screws. So i cant ride my bike until i get it fixed
. Heartbreaking to see my tail light tied tied up with two strings. What kind of PDI do these people do. My friend who just got the 2010 R1, too faced a problem. The clip-on weren't fastened on tight and had a lot of play. When yamaha gives us such huge and expensive machines, one would expect them to to give us much better PDI.
In any case, these kind of lapses are becoming common nowadays with Yamaha's CBUs. If I drop my bike off for a service, it comes back with mismatching fasteners / wrong fasteners used etc. Short cuts are followed which are very annoying.
As for the R1 with the loose clipons, something is fundamentally wrong there. The clip ons are assembled in the factory and if it is loose, then someone/something has caused that. I would've asked for another machine altogether."Tough times never last, but tough people do." - Robert Schuller

Rudra - first of all BIG apology for not jumping in here earlier. How this thread missed my attention I have no idea. I've been inactive the last few months but you should have sent me a PM man!
Anyway - sending you my contact details via PM. Anything you need to know - give me a buzz.
Any immediate help required bud? No time to go through the whole thread right now.
Ok did manage to glance through the thread and here are a few points:
1. 91 octane is just fine (Speed / Xtrapremium)
2. No need to add additives if using the above or better
3. The bike vibrates like a sex-toy plugged into a nuclear power plant - you have to tighten all the fasteners (even engine and frame mounts and under the seat etc.) every 500km. I normally get this done when I get my chain serviced at Malad showroom.
Cheers!

Both the R1s we got here had lose clip ons; even the local PDI didn't spot it. I think it's loaded on the crate with the clip ons loosened and turned inside?Originally posted by rossiter View Postsigpic StreetFighterComment

Doubt it. The R1s I've seen being delivered, had the clipons already installed. Probably they're doing something different with the 2010, but I don't see why. Either way, the PDI calls for checking the bolts on the clipons. If it was missed, the technician ought to be fried!Originally posted by Streetfighter View Post"Tough times never last, but tough people do." - Robert Schuller

No other explanation, how can 2 of our bikes come with loose clip ons?Originally posted by rossiter View Post
Seeing all the woes with Yam this year don't you think your fears about Duc were unfounded?

Yeah I agree. But still doesn't absolve the technician doing the PDI. That is just insane!Originally posted by Streetfighter View PostNo other explanation, how can 2 of our bikes come with loose clip ons?

Woes with Yamaha - You mean with the servicing aspect? My issue with Ducati wasn't that alone. Either way, I will have to fend for myself with my next bike, but I ended spending a lot less."Tough times never last, but tough people do." - Robert Schuller

Yammie service guys do tend to forget stuff. Thats why I am almost always there throughout the service. See...this isn't a joke that you can depend on someone else's intelligence. Not when your life depends on some nuts and bolts at 200 kph.
Be there...watch it get done.

That's pretty dicey. Maybe they've changed something on the assembly between the 07/08s and the current crop of R1s. All the more reason for these guys to check it properly. Loose clipons are a lot more dangerous than worn out tyres or brakes.Originally posted by rudra666 View Post"Tough times never last, but tough people do." - Robert Schuller
