That's how it's been since Adam was in nappies. You ask for a part. If it is in NZ it arrives within a few days. Otherwise, sorry it may take up to 2 weeks from Japan/wherever. And it does take no more than a week or two.
I have been stunned over the years by the unusual parts I've needed that always turned up within days or 2 weeks top. That's why this delay is pissing me off. It's not like the parts are out of production or out of stock, nope just the Distributor refusing to provide the most basic of services an automotive importer is expected to do. Bring in parts and sell them. Not rocket science. Tends to be how most businesses make money. Oh hang on, that's right they ask for cash payment when ordering a part. Funny that, never had to do that with my other bikes I've owned over decades.
I can't understand why the collective Dealers nationwide aren't outside Yamaha NZ with pitch forks and flaming torches.
I did ring a Yammy Dealer in Oz but it's a case of pay us, order it and we will despatch it when it arrives. Not prepared to fall for that twice.
As I mentioned I really like the Yamaha screen, I don't blame the shop so buying online alternatives is not an option for now. Funny when I was first told there is a delay at H.O. I said, no worries just want it before winter. Guess it's my fault for not specify winter of 2017.
