Dealerships & comments

[@tvd1188]

i called my local dealer asking if they where getting any of the '25 pan ams in. They told me no they wont and the person told me they arent really interested in those bikes. I bought mine there, so that was surprising. I've had a few not great interactions with the service dept, mainly due to the ignorance and not caring about the PA. Fortunately for me there is a (supposed) better dealer just as close to me. I say that because they put the PA's up front, i've heard a member of the service dept owns a PA and they did an event showing how to customize the PA once. So to your point, thats a sign of a good dealer for a PA. This year we'll really know as HD dealers are given the option to even stock PA's on their showroom floors. If it aint' for sale, then prob not the dealer for you long term.

Unfortunately this is not the first time iv heard this. Glad to hear you may have found a dealer that shows some enthusiasm for the bike. I really believe that it only takes one test ride on the bike to get people interested and or hooked. thanks for the view, and the input, dude.

Absolutely critical to have a dealer that is in with the Rev Max bikes and technology. Thankfully mine is. The mechanic who handles them owns a Pan America and embraces the mechanical and electronic technology. He is a 25 year veteran at my dealership. I have had zero issues save for a noisy fuel pump which was replaced under warranty. The dealerships that wont accept the new tech are in for a rude awakening in 2025. The touring models have very similar electronics to the Rev Max bikes. Like it or not they better get with the program. My advice to anyone buying a Rev Max bike make sure that the dealership is all in and has veteran mechanics servicing them. Not recent hired inexperienced mechanics. They are complex mechanically and electronically and not for a novice to be working on.

@1:40...LOL....I've never heard of Yamaha problems!

[@paulwojnar2291]

1978 on my way back from Florida to Pa. Right at South of The Border my almost new XS 650 Twin burned a piston. Shit can happen. The Yamaha dealer in Laurenburg, NC came out picked up my bike dropped me a local motel and had me on the road 2pm the next day. Reinforced my faith in the brand. Many years and Yamahas later there is a V 1100 Classic in my garage. Next to my 03 KLR 650, 07 Sportster 1200 and my 2024 Pan America. I love them all.
