If you dont read londonbikers.com, then I thought I had better bring this to your attention:

West London Yamaha

Disgracefull. Avoid these cowboys at West London Yamaha.

I bought my bike from there, they will not be seeing it again. Its 12k service due next month and is going elsewhere.

Just to let you know - the same guy owns West London Suzuki as well. I know because when I was looking at bikes I test rode a GSX650F before deciding on the Fazer. When I actually went back to buy the FZ, the sales guy from the Suzuki dealer was in the Yamaha shop. He remembered me from there and we started chatting about how both dealers are owned by the same guy. Beware.

Thanks for the info Doorag, surprised me, the guys in WLSuzuki were really nice to me! I guess the people who run the shop dont nessesarily reflect those that own it

On another note I'm unsure where to take my bike for its service now. I guess it has to be yamaha to retain the warranty. Has anyone used the Yammy dealer in Shepherds bush?

They don't hold back on the name and shame bit at London bikers. I remember reading a real shame thread about metropolis at vauxhall.

"Forearmed is forewarned" thanks guys.

I was shocked at some of the replies by WLY employee's. Since then the (clearly under the cosh) mechanic has come on and spoken some sense, and the manager (who is undoubtedly being restrained judging by how hes has treated some people) but I think the damage is done.

I'll be avoiding them.

Yea I have used the one is Shepherd's Bush but it was only for checking up my bike when I bought from some one. I felt that the mechanic was very helpful.

gotta love the crank on the floor. thats special..... Looks like a back garage shop round here. only difference is it wasn't a dirt floor. amazing thing is people take machines to them to save a lil money, yet they don't warrenty their work and we end up getting it all blown up.... but yeah I would have walked in there and said congrats you just bought my bike for retail now give me a check and im outta here!
