I just got my New 2019 MT-10 home.
Since I work for Yamaha Jet Boat and get a great employee discount, the bike was shipped directly to our plant and then I brought it home to do the dealer prep myself.
My question is this:
Is there anything that the dealer does that I may not be able to do myself such as a ECU flash/upload?
I want to make sure before I assume that after checking oil, gas, battery, chain, etc. and ride off to do the break-in that I'm not screwing up!
Thanks for any positive advice!

Hey, wish I had gotten my bike like that. Ha ha. Please post a picture with the cardboard removed, to see what needs to be assembled; couldn't find anything online. It's possible the front wheel is off, but that'd be the hardest job (and it's easy). Just make sure you have the proper tools, including a torque wrench for the caliper and axle bolts/nuts. And possibly a helper, to disassemble the crate, and if the front wheel is off. Oh, what I'd absolutely do is fully charge the battery after you 'activate it' before installation; that extends its life significantly. Finally, there shouldn't be a need to mess with anything electronic unless you have an issue. By the way, the assembly instructions should be inside, so post those as well for our viewing pleasure. And to know what dealers could have messed up to check it. Ha ha. Good luck.

elptxjc, thanks for your comments. I will definitely fully charge the battery. I couldn't find any assy instructions, just a box containing the two mirrors and owners manual and tool kit.  I will post another picture showing how the crate/frame is attached to the handle bar/steering clamp. I saw a previous post on forum about a bolt being lodged in the steering and it looks like this is where the extra bolt may have come from (at packaging or dealer removal)! I will be extra careful when removing from crate!  |

Awesome that bike comes practically fully assembled . When installing the mirrors, make sure to use a long ruler or leveler, so the stems are perpendicular to the bike, for maximum mirror reach. I couldn't see behind me, and noticed the mirrors were at a severe angle, diminishing their outward reach significantly. And now I know why. Ha ha. Dealer couldn't even do that right. Ha ha. After adjusting them properly, I can see behind perfectly at both sides. They also knocked a rubber bumper off the seat when reinstalling after hooking up the battery, so the 2 things they needed to deal with, messed up both. Ha ha. And they wanted to initially charge me $400 for 'assembly'. Geez. Hey, no need for instructions for just that, so all is well. Curious about the bolt you mentioned. Let us know how it went. Thanks. |

Elptxjc, see my recent reply to the thread: "Dangerous Situation - Steering Locked Up. It shows photos of the bracket used to stabilize the bike/steering column to the crate and the bolts used to secure the bracket and other supports for the crate.

Saw that brother; thank you. Pretty stupid for a tech not accounting for all bolts removed, but not surprised at all. Now that I know the lower handlebar bolts have to be installed, need to look up and check their torque one of these days. And mirror bolts too. By the way, the mirrors are designed to break loose if the bike falls, not the opposite (get tighter with wind pressure, to avoid mirrors getting loose at high speeds), meaning the reverse thread is on the right mirror (by using logic), for those who don't know already . So they have to be tight enough not to break loose at speed, but not that tight that something else can break if the bike falls. Hopefully the factory torque is there. |
