Want to see some pics of a very Happy Waikato Yamaha Customer beside his newly acquired bike wearing his Nice new helmet in here pretty bloody soon. OK Hurrie.
And as Genie said.
"Dont fret it, it's human nature but it takes a man to front up and say sorry I fcuked up."
Well done , there is always two sides to any story and while both parties may not always agree on how things happened, when both parties can agree that it's sorted to both of their satisfactions, then it's all good , well done for sticking in there and getting this sorted out without it turning inot a mud slinging festival.

yeah not too happy with the bike, both fork seals leaking all over the place, brakes need a good flush, petrol tank and exhaust headers couldnt be more rusted, more scratches on the bike than on the photographs he sent me.

If i say that the forkseals were leaking when i got them and he says that they werent when the bike was shipped that its pretty much my word against his and there isnt really much to do about it, is there?

It is possible that the bike was tied down pretty hard which may have damaged or blown the seals in transit. In that case, while they may have seemed fine at the dealers, they could have been close to replacement time. I've seen guys uses tie-downs a lot and some really crank them down which makes me wince at the pressure going on the seals. Just a thought...
